On the evening of October 21, 2007, 29-year-old Jason Freedom Adam left his mother’s home in Edmonton, Alberta, telling her he would be right back and then vanished. Jason was visiting from Lac La Biche and was described as a Native man with short black hair. He was last seen wearing black running shoes, blue jeans, a black jacket, a ball cap, and glasses.

The Edmonton Police Service has classified his disappearance as unusual and expressed concern for his well-being. Jason was a father and his sons have grown up without him. His mother, Evelyn Simpson, has said the initial investigation included a few visits from police but that communication dwindled afterward; she has also raised concerns that his Fond Du Lac Denesuline First Nation heritage and his association with people who led high-risk lifestyles affected the attention the case received.

The investigation remains open with no significant breakthroughs reported and the family has continued searching and hoping for answers. If anyone knew Jason, his movements on October 21, 2007, or has information that could help, please share what you know.
