Alexander John Belcourt, also known as Alex or Bumly, was last seen in the downtown core of Edmonton, Alberta, in the autumn of 1991. He was 41 then, five feet seven inches tall, with black hair, brown eyes and a scar on his upper lip, and weighed about 161–165 pounds. His family’s last contact was in September 1991; he had stopped making the occasional collect calls in 1989.

Originally from Grouard, about 360 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, Alexander moved to the city seeking work but struggled to find steady employment and developed alcohol and solvent addictions that left him living on the streets. Family searches, posters and a small reward brought no reliable leads. The family reported him missing to police in November 1995.

Did anyone in Edmonton in 1991–1995 see Alexander or have information about his whereabouts or fate?
