Although the trail is cold, the Estevan Police Service has not given up hope of locating Gordon Tweddle.
The 58-year-old went missing from his Estevan residence on May 14 and neither his friends, family nor local police have had any luck pinning down his whereabouts in the days since.
With the anniversary of his disappearance soon to reach the six month mark, the EPS can have Tweddle added to the Saskatchewan Missing Persons website which gives them an opportunity to reach a far wider audience as they continue to search for clues.
"We haven't forgotten him. It's an open file we just haven't had a single lead or anything," said EPS Chief Del Block who added there has never been any indication of foul play. "We are asking for any tips or information that might help us in locating him."
Block said by adding Tweddle to the website, the EPS is hopeful that someone in another Saskatchewan community might recognize him or could have some pertinent information. He said they are also checking with police in North Dakota to see if they have any people they haven't been able to identify, either living or remains.
"Especially if he just slipped into the river. You just never know."
In a story that appeared in August, Tweddle's sister Francis McPherson said she feared that her brother may have felt he was becoming a burden to his family and friends and could have taken his own life.
However, she remained hopeful of finding her brother whether he was alive or not to bring closure to the matter and help her move on.
"We just can't figure this out. I just don't know where he is," McPherson said in the August 15 article. "It's obvious to us all that he could be dead, but where is he? He could be alive, but where is he? It's on your mind all the time."
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the EPS at 634-4767.
