Toronto, ON — Irma Galastica, a 32-year-old mother from Toronto, has been missing since August 30, 2024. The last confirmed sighting of Irma was at the Sankofa Restaurant and Lounge in Hamilton, where she was with a new friend, Ashley. What followed is a series of troubling events that have left her family and authorities searching for answers.
What Happened
Irma traveled to Hamilton on August 30, 2024, and was seen at the restaurant with her new acquaintance, Ashley. After their time at the restaurant, Irma and Ashley went to a party at a residence on Old York Road in Burlington. Irma told a family member that she didn’t plan on returning to Toronto that night and began location-sharing with them via her phone.
The following morning, August 31, 2024, Irma was no longer in contact, prompting her family to file a missing person’s report with the police. Police quickly became involved and began investigating her disappearance.
Who Was Ashley?
Ashley, the new friend Irma had met on the night of her disappearance, later came forward after seeing media coverage about Irma’s case. She explained that after leaving the party, a friend had come to pick her up, but Irma remained at the residence with a man named Eric. Ashley’s statement has raised more questions but has not led to further information about Irma’s whereabouts.
Key Discovery and Investigation
A critical piece of evidence surfaced when Irma’s phone records revealed that she made a 911 call on August 31, 2024. Unfortunately, the call was disconnected too quickly for authorities to capture the location, but it indicated that Irma was in distress. Investigators obtained a search warrant for the residence where the party had been held, leading to the discovery of a secret drug lab at the location.
Despite extensive efforts, no trace of Irma has been found, and no one has been charged in relation to her disappearance. The police are continuing to investigate, but the case remains open and unsolved.
