You´re not talking about a conclusion or something happening in the end but the last time, so in Spanish we cannot use your English sentence structure and have it make sense. For this we say: La última vez que lo encontré / vi fue en enero.

However, to indicate a final conclusion you would have to say: *En fin / Por fin / Finalmente lo encontré / vi ............. *
