“If anyone does have information – maybe you’re a neighbour who saw him leave that morning, maybe you’re a friend or co-worker who exchanged texts with him recently — it’s so important that you share that information with police, even if you’ve already told his family or friends about it, to ensure it gets to investigators,” said Evelyn.
