The North Bay Police Service is hoping to generate new information by releasing an age-progression drawing of a historical missing person.
Glen Warren Neil Wesley turned 28 years old on Sept. 15, 2010, the day he disappeared.
He was a patient at the Northeast Mental Health Hospital and was granted permission to leave the facility on a short-term pass at 1 pm.
After he failed to return later that day, hospital staff contacted police, who say despite an extensive investigation, all efforts to locate Glen have been unsuccessful.
They say in the nearly 16 years since his disappearance, there have been several unconfirmed sightings of him in the Cochrane, Timmins, and New Liskeard areas.
The investigation remains active and unresolved.
At the time of his disappearance, Glen was described as:
· 28 years old
· 6’2” (188 cm)
· 300 lbs (136 kg)
· Heavy build
· Indigenous (First Nations)
· Brown eyes
· Black hair, short, over ears
· Scar on his left wrist
“The disappearance of Glen continues to deeply affect his family, our service, and the entire community,” says Acting Deputy Chief Jeff Warner. “While an age-progression image is not an exact representation, it is a valuable investigative tool that helps us show what Glen may look like today. We hope this image will prompt someone to come forward, because even the smallest detail can make a critical difference in progressing this investigation.”
North Bay Police are thanking the Ontario Provincial Police Forensic Identification Support Services for their assistance in creating the age-progression drawing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact NBPS at 705-497-5555 and press five (5) to speak with an officer or visit in person at 135 Princess Street West, North Bay.
