Maxwell William Brown Jr., known as Max, was 24 when he vanished from Klemtu, British Columbia, in the early hours of May 1, 2012. He was visiting friends in the remote island community, accessible only by ferry or float plane, and was last seen at about 1:00 a.m. Authorities later confirmed he was not a passenger on any departing ferry or float plane, which deepens the mystery of how he could have left the island unnoticed.

Max is described as an Aboriginal male about five feet and ten inches tall with a slender build, short black hair, brown eyes and weighing about 161 pounds. He had two distinct neck tattoos: the words Rest in Peace on the left side and a raven. The Prince Rupert RCMP detachment led an extensive search of the area but found no clues, and he has not been located since.

Family members believe someone in the small community may have information that could help. If anyone knew Max, his movements that night, or saw anything unusual in Klemtu around May 1, 2012, please contact the Prince Rupert RCMP with any information.
