He has not been seen or heard from since. His vehicle has also not been seen.
"This is very out of character that hed disappear like this," friend Karlis Blums told CBC News, noting Ozollapa has both a wife and a young daughter.
Its been very difficult because as the days go by and you havent heard from him, its just very heartbreaking and to have, so far, no real leads on where he went and just disappeared, it gets difficult.
Loved ones are putting up posters in the area.
I just have to believe [the police] are doing their jobs the best they can, his wife Patricia Rose told CBC News.
The investigators that are working on it have assured me they will keep me up to date and posted on any changes or anything that might come up, so Im just trusting in God and praying and trusting in the police that theyre gonna do whatever they can.
Ozollapa is 50, white, six feet tall and 170 pounds with a medium build. He has grey eyes, a goatee, is bald and speaks with a heavy Latvian accent. He was last seen wearing a T-shirt, blue jeans, brown Crocs and had a black laptop briefcase.
Ozollapa, who works as a contractor, also has friends and work acquaintances in Toronto, according to Blums.
Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at (905) 825-4747 x2310.
