Wayne Albert Hansen, 35, was last seen in Edmonton, Alberta, on December 20, 1996, when he checked himself out of a health care facility and did not return to contact his family. Described as a Caucasian male about 5 feet 10 inches to 5 feet 11 inches and 170 pounds, he had brown hair, green eyes and wore eyeglasses.

The Edmonton Police Service opened a missing persons file, number 96-11461, but the trail went cold almost immediately after he walked away and there were no known witnesses to his movements afterward. There is no evidence of foul play reported and the circumstances of his disappearance remain unexplained. If anyone knew Wayne, saw him in Edmonton after December 20, 1996, or has information that could help, please come forward.
