Search for 25-year-old man missing in Thunder Bay into 3rd week
CBC
Thunder Bay police, OPP and volunteers continue to comb parts of the city's south side as they search for a 25-year-old man who's been missing for more than two weeks.
Kacey Yellowhead's last confirmed location was on Minnesota Street, when a surveillance camera captured video of him walking southbound at about 9:20 p.m. ET on Aug. 2.
Thomas Missewace, his father, said the last 16 days have been "stressful, draining, and very painful."
"I don't know what to think as the days go longer," Missewace said Thursday at a command centre for volunteer searchers set up behind the Slovak Legion on Atlantic Avenue. "My mind is just everywhere.
"I want to find him. I want him back home already."
Missewace said he's never gone this long without hearing from his son.
"He used to call me every morning and just to talk to me, like to hear my voice," he said. "That's what he would say to me, I want to hear your voice."
Thunder Bay police had announced earlier Thursday that officers, with assistance from the provincial police, were conducting grid searches in the May Street, Simpson Street and Minnesota Street areas.
Yellowhead is described as an Indigenous male, about 5-foot-6, with a medium build, and brown hair and eyes.
He has a red mark on his right cheek, and was last seen wearing a black hoodie with white draw strings, grey shorts and white socks with no shoes.
A large contingent of volunteers, some of whom came from Eabametoong — Yellowhead's home community — to help, is also assisting with the search.
Nathan Yellowhead, Kacey's older brother, said he's feeling confused and sad over his brother's disappearance.
"Everybody's taking it hard, even like people that are volunteering here," he said. "Everybody's confused, sad, mad."
Joe Missewace, one of Kacey Yellowhead's relatives and search co-ordinator, said more than 20 people have been regularly helping out, spending long days searching for signs of the missing man.
