Eli Wood is Missing (Last Seen in Kitchener, Ontario Oct 18, 2025)
from The Canadian Gothic · host CanadianGothic / Curiouscast
On October 18, 2025, 25-year-old Eli Wood was last seen by his family on a video call that ended just prior to midnight. Something they did daily as a way to stay connected while Eli was attending university in Kitchener. Hours later, firefighters responded to a fire in Eli’s apartment. But Eli wasn’t there… and hasn’t been seen since. Police say the fire was arson and that foul play is suspected in Eli’s disappearance, but months later, little more than that has been revealed. Important questions like what happened that night? why was the fire considered targeted? and where is Eli? all remain unanswered as his family pleads for answers, community searches continue, and police say an investigation remains active. In this episode of the Canadian Gothic, Madelayne and Jordan discuss what we know and what we don’t know about the disappearance of Eli Wood.
