John Hastings was 27 when he was last seen leaving his sister’s home in downtown Winnipeg on October 16, 2015. He was described as five feet, nine inches tall with a thin build, short black hair, brown eyes, and facial hair consisting of a thin goatee and moustache. He wore a black sweatshirt with grey markings on the sleeves and black jeans.

Reports say he was feeling despondent around the time he disappeared. The Winnipeg Police Service opened a missing persons investigation and publicly appealed for information; the police renewed that public request in October 2016. There are no specific leads or developments described, and his whereabouts after he walked away from his sister’s residence remain unknown.

If anyone saw John around downtown Winnipeg on or after October 16, 2015, or has information about his movements that autumn, please contact the Winnipeg Police Service missing persons unit.
