Conrad Roderick Jason Ducharme, known to family as Jason, was 43 when he was last seen on July 26, 2016, in Manning, Alberta. He lived in the Paddle Prairie Settlement and was reportedly hitchhiking to Dixonville for a meeting. Conrad was described as a Metis male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 200 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a noticeable mole to the right of his eye; he had no known tattoos or piercings.

Family say he traveled long distances on foot and often stayed with friends and relatives, so relatives did not immediately raise the alarm. Concern grew after he missed his young son Logan’s birthday at the end of July and, with no contact for two months, the family reported him missing on October 25, 2016. Multiple RCMP detachments, the Alberta RCMP Missing Persons Unit and RCMP Police Dog Services searched with family and friends, but Conrad has not been located and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.

Does anyone who knew Jason or who was in the Manning–Dixonville area in late July 2016 have information that could help the family?
