Alexander Joseph Lawson, 65, was last seen on November 27, 2022, leaving his apartment in the 200 block of Madeline Street in Thunder Bay. A member of the Lac Seul First Nation and known as Alex or AJ, he is described with long, straight grey hair, brown eyes, facial hair, and the clothing he wore that day: a black baseball cap, a light-colored North Face puffer jacket with a dark upper area, blue jeans, and black shoes. Video surveillance captured his departure, and there were unconfirmed possible sightings near city hall in the following days.

Thunder Bay Police Service launched an extensive missing person investigation using drone and K9 searches and waterway inquiries. Family-led efforts included ground searches with neighboring First Nations, poster and billboard campaigns, and a public tipline; the Thunder Bay Police Services Board and the Lac Seul First Nation have combined to offer a substantial reward for information that confirms his whereabouts. His bank account and health card have remained inactive. No confirmed sighting has been established and the investigation remains active.

Did anyone in Thunder Bay or nearby communities see Alex after November 27, 2022, or have information that could help locate him?
