Dexter Karl Whitford was last seen by family in Edmonton, Alberta, in 2004; some reports give April 29, 2004, while a later account described him as last seen by family on July 3, 2006 — the Edmonton Police Service timeline indicates 2004. He was in his mid‑30s at disappearance (reported as 36 or 37), identified as an Indigenous male about 5 feet 11 inches and 165–170 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a moustache.

Family and investigators emphasize his many distinctive tattoos: ink on both hands, a teardrop under his right eye and a buffalo skull with the name Stella on the right side of his neck. He was also known by the aliases Grizz and Dex. For reasons not publicly detailed, no missing person report was filed with the Edmonton Police Service until 2012, creating an eight‑year gap between when he was last seen and when authorities were notified; that delay has complicated the investigation and the case is now listed as cold.

If anyone knew Dexter’s movements or last contacts in Edmonton in 2004, what information can be shared to help break this case open?
