On October 23, 2010, 25-year-old Abdulatif Salman left his family home in Nepean, Ottawa, on his way to a shift at Walmart and never returned. Abdulatif, who lived with schizophrenia and also struggled with depression and paranoia, had been doing better and recently had his medication reduced by his doctor. He left without money, identification or his medication and was last seen wearing a blue and grey plaid fall jacket with a hood over a blue t-shirt, grey jogging pants and black sandals; he has a birthmark on his left cheek.

Before he disappeared Abdulatif was known to frequent the Hunt Club transitway station and the Rideau Street area and was often drawn to places of worship and bodies of water. His family describe characteristic behaviours such as biting his lower lip, talking to himself and looking at the palms of his hands. The Ottawa Police Service has an open investigation but has said there is no evidence of foul play; the family does not believe he vanished intentionally and has held vigils and posted messages in hopes he will come home.

Does anyone who knew Abdulatif or who was in the Hunt Club or Rideau Street areas in October 2010 have information that might help clarify what happened?
