A 14-year-old girl named Esther, last seen near Bathurst Street and Hotspur Road after midnight on May 16th, has triggered Toronto’s highest-level missing persons response—Level One. Only five cases out of nearly 3,100 last year reached this tier. Esther, who’s on the spectrum, is described as white, 5’2”, medium build, with brown hair, wearing grey sweatpants, a turquoise sweater, and notably—no shoes.
