A vigil is planned Friday for Cameron Bailie, a 27-year-old Oshawa father who vanished a month ago.

The gathering, called “candles of hope,” is scheduled to run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Lakeview Park in south Oshawa.

Bailie left home without his vehicle, phone, coat or wallet on Oshawa’s Oxford St. in mid-afternoon on Jan. 10. .

Eight days later, police found a pair of his shoes.

That’s the last clue, said his sister Nicole Gerard, who shares the townhouse with him.

“It just doesn’t make sense that nobody knows anything,” Gerard said.

She said the disappearance is totally out of character.

“He’s a homebody,” she said. “He just doesn’t like to be away from the house.”

Bailie was in a good mood the morning of the day he disappeared, she said.

“He was happy,” Gerard said, adding that he loves his four-year-old son.

His son’s confused about why his father is no longer at home, she said.

Bailie is a mechanical engineer and Gerard said he enjoyed his job. He didn’t call in to say he would be missing work, she said.

Gerard said the front door was unlocked and windows open when she returned to the townhouse that evening.

His laptop was playing music, like he was about to workout.

“There was no sign of any struggle in the place,” Gerard said.

She praised the police and community.
