Michael Joseph Thomas, 40, of the Saulteaux First Nation, was last seen in Edmonton on September 11, 2023. Concern grew when he stopped regular contact with his teenage children, which his family says was out of character. The last contact his daughter had with him was on September 5, 2023, and family members later learned he was discharged from a hospital on September 6, 2023. He was known to frequent the Whyte Avenue area.

Michael is described as five-feet-eight-inches to five-feet-ten-inches tall, about 160 pounds with a thin build, short black or brown hair, and brown eyes. Distinctive features include a large Z tattoo on the front of his neck, a missing pinky finger on his right hand, and the names Ren or Renegade. Nearly thirteen months after he was last seen, Edmonton homicide detectives became involved and the disappearance was labelled suspicious; investigators say someone may have information important to the case.

If anyone knew Michael, saw him in Edmonton after September 11, 2023, or has information about his movements or contacts, please share what is known with the Edmonton Police Service.
