Nathan Wise, 37, was last seen the evening of Friday, May 12, 2023, in the area of Jane Street and Sheppard Avenue West in Toronto. Nathan, a man with Down syndrome who had recently moved to live with his sister after their father’s death in December 2022, left home without his wallet or cell phone and with only about $20. His departure was out of character.

Nathan is described as a Caucasian male, 4 feet 6 inches tall with a heavier build, brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses. He was wearing a black hoodie with green stripes, black pants, and black shoes. The Toronto Police Service declared a Level Three search because of his increased vulnerability; tracking dogs and searches of walking and hiking trails in North York were part of the early response.

Searches widened over more than 100 kilometres toward the Waterloo Region after unconfirmed sightings near Puslinch on May 17, 2023, and in Guelph. Volunteer teams searched woods and brush in places such as Campbellville, and Nathan’s family and supporters have maintained a public search campaign.

If anyone saw Nathan around May 12–17, 2023, or remembers helpful details about his movements between Toronto and the Waterloo Region, please come forward with information.
