Update August 9, 2012: RCMP Officers located Erwin early this afternoon. RCMP thank the public for their assistance in this matter.

Original story:

Grande Prairie RCMP Detachment are looking for the public's help in locating Erwin Eugster, a 75 year old male that was working at a farm near Debolt, AB.   Eugster  was brought to Grande Prairie, AB by his employer on June 5, 2012 and dropped off in the city.  Erwin was expected to stay in Grande Prairie for approximately two weeks and then return to the farm near Debolt.  Erwin never returned and has not been heard from by his employer, family or friends since.  The family and friends of Erwin feels that this is out of character for Erwin to have been out of contact for this long.


Erwin is described as white, 178 cm tall, quite thin (75 kg), blue eyes with greyish white hair and bald on top.  Erwin suffered a brain injury many years ago which resulted in a noticeable scar on his head and might have some cognitive difficulties as a result.  Erwin also has significant scaring on his right arm and torso from a burn injury and scarring to his leg(s) from skin grafts that occur within the last few years.

The Grande Prairie RCMP are asking for anyone who has seen Erwin, knows where he is or has information that could assist the police in locating him to contact the Grande Prairie RCMP Detachment at 780-830-5701.
