Gary O'Brien allegedly took his three sons — Adam, Trevor, and Mitchell — from their home in Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada on November 9, 1996, in what authorities characterize as a parental abduction without legal authorization.
The three O'Brien brothers were reported missing on November 9, 1996, after their father Gary O'Brien allegedly abducted them. The case attracted both national and international media coverage, and Interpol issued a warrant for Gary O'Brien in connection with the abduction.
Despite numerous tips from Canada and the United States and a $50,000 reward, police have been unable to locate the O'Brien brothers or their father. The Interpol warrant against Gary O'Brien remains active, and the case continues to be one of Canada's unresolved missing children cases.
