CANADA Canada - Ernest Pfaff, 28, Chatham, Ont, 31 Dec 1973

Pfaff said it is surreal to know this case has been opened again, adding it is something he has long wished for.

“I realize that he is 70 years old, so maybe he is out there somewhere.

“If this can bring some closure to it that would be great,” he added.

Pfaff said growing up without a father was “big time rough,” but added, “you get through it.”
