Missing N.L. man may be in New Brunswick
RCMP shares alert about Matthew Cormier, 32, who was last seen boarding ferry Thursday
The RCMP in Newfoundland and Labrador issued an alert about a missing Stephenville, N.L., man Saturday, and their counterparts in New Brunswick noted he may be in this province.
“Bay St. George RCMP is searching for a missing man, 32-year-old Matthew Cormier of Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador,” the Newfoundland RCMP said in a news release late Saturday afternoon.
“Cormier is confirmed to have boarded the Marine Atlantic Ferry in Port aux Basques, N.L., on Jan. 25, 2024. His current location and destination are unknown. Police are concerned for his safety and well-being.
But a couple of hours later on social media, the RCMP in New Brunswick shared the N.L. alert, with an addendum.
“Sharing on behalf of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Newfoundland and Labrador as there is a possibility that this individual may be in New Brunswick,” it said.
The Mounties’ alert included a photo of Cormier, but in it, he’s sporting a full head of hair, and police noted the missing man currently has a shaved head.
Cormier is described as being about six feet tall, weighing about 165 pounds, with brown hair and eyes.
He was last seen wearing a black jacket and blue toque, carrying a black backpack, the advisory said.
Anyone with information about Cormier’s whereabouts is urged to contact Bay St. George RCMP at 709-643-2118.
