Gary Brandon Reno, a 29-year-old Indigenous father who lived and worked in the Pink Mountain area of northeastern British Columbia, was last in routine contact with family around Thanksgiving weekend on October 20, 2024. His bank accounts showed activity on October 19 and his cell phone went inactive on October 20, but surveillance footage later confirmed a sighting of him at Casey’s Liquor Store in Fort St. John on October 23. Family reported him missing to the Fort St. John RCMP on November 1, 2024.

Reno is described as about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches and 209 to 221 pounds, with short black hair and brown eyes; he sometimes wore glasses. Notable marks include a four-inch scar near his hairline, a knee scar, a left hip condition with only half of a hip socket, and several tattoos (Luca behind his left ear, flames on his inner left forearm, a cross on his left cheek and RENO on his right hand). He may have been driving a black 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander; that vehicle was later found burned.

RCMP searches have used K9 units and ATVs, and investigators collected personal items from his Buffalo Inn accommodation in January 2025 to develop a DNA profile. He was scheduled to appear in court on November 4, 2024 on assault and breach of undertaking charges but did not attend. No whereabouts have been confirmed and the investigation remains active. If anyone has information about Gary’s movements after October 23, 2024, please come forward.
