Thunder Bay’s city police are renewing calls for assistance from the public in locating a missing person on the one-year anniversary of their disappearance.
Richard Graham was last seen on July 30, 2024, at the Esso on Cumberland Street North near Boulevard Lake.
After entering the store, he got on a Thunder Bay Transit Bus heading south on Cumberland.
It is unknown where he got off the bus.
Graham is described as a white male standing five feet six inches tall with a slim build.
He has medium-length red hair, a red beard, and hazel eyes.
He was last seen wearing a camouflage short-sleeve shirt, black pants with a subtle camouflage pattern, grey and black running shoes, a camouflage pattern ballcap, and a large black backpack with a waist belt and large white patch on the top.
“We’ve taken many investigative steps since that time to try and locate Richard, including talking to witnesses, talking to people on the street, reviewing all types of video surveillance throughout the city that we’ve had access to, physical searches on the ground,” explained Detective Kevin Bradley.
“Including using canines in various locations where we believe that he was heading to, we’ve had our drone up in the air. We’ve searched waterways, so very extensive searches.”
City police say any new information could be what investigators need to make a breakthrough in the case.
“Contact the Thunder Bay police at the tip lines, contact me personally, somebody will always answer you,” said Graham’s father, Dwayne Poster. “And it doesn’t matter how small the tip is, we’ll take it, we’ll sort through the garbage, and then we’ll go from there.”
A dedicated tip line has been established.
