News release

Over the summer, Yellowknife RCMP, with assistance from the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA) conducted air searches to locate 63 years old Glenn Field.

The air searches covered an area near Rolfe Lake, where Mr. Field was last seen with his two German Shepherds. Rolfe Lake is about 150 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife and 72 kilometres due east of Gordon Lake.

On Monday August 24th, during one of the searches, Yellowknife RCMP located some pieces of equipment in the area believed to belong to Mr. Field, but there were no sightings of Mr. Field, nor his grey coloured canoe and dogs.

At this time, with no indications of Mr. Field travel plans, Yellowknife RCMP are concluding their search operations. If new information on Mr. Field's possible location is brought forward to the RCMP, further searches will be organized.

"We are still hoping for the public to come forward if they are traveling on the land and see a grey coloured canoe, or one or two of his German Shepherds. We ask anyone with tips on his possible location, to please contact Yellowknife RCMP", states Staff Sergeant Yannick Hamel, Yellowknife RCMP Operations Manager.
