David John Hallam, 39, is reported missing from northern Alberta after a life spent working as a freelance oilfield labourer across Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. The last known contact with him was in April 2024. He is described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall, medium build, roughly 190 pounds, light complexion, brown to salt-and-pepper short hair, brown eyes, wears glasses and often had a short or stubbled beard.

On October 28, 2024, Alberta Conservation Officers found an abandoned vehicle in Queen Elizabeth Provincial Park at Cardinal Lake near Grimshaw that was later identified as Hallam’s. A missing person report was not filed until December 11, 2024, when the Peace River RCMP were notified; a well-being check in the Grimshaw area on December 18, 2024, produced no sign of him. The gap between his last contact in April and the vehicle discovery in October is a central unanswered element in this case.

Anyone with information about David John Hallam’s whereabouts or movements after April 2024 is asked to contact the Peace Regional RCMP.
