The search for missing 35-year-old Grande Prairie man, Travis Dyer has entered its third day, and his family is pleading with the public for any and all information that could help lead to his safe return home.
According to Dyer’s sister Catherine, her brother is a known traveler and has never expressed the desire to settle down in one place, until moving back to Grande Prairie to live with her.
“It seemed like he was putting some roots down, he was going to go back to school to be a social worker so he could help others,” she says.
At this point, Travis’ friends and family, along with Search and Rescue had combed Muskoseepi Park for potential sightings or clues as to his whereabouts, which his sister says is purposeful due to the proximity of their home to the park and his affinity for the outdoors.
“I just had an intuition, knowing that he loves nature and probably wanted to be alone,” she says. “We grew up in Grande Prairie so we’re trying to think of those childhood spots that he might be at such as Thrill Hill, or Parkside School, Muskoseepi was another place that we hung out at as well.”
Dyer describes her brother as a “social chameleon,” saying it is likely that he could be found interacting with members of the public.
“Travis is a social chameleon, so he could be being friendly, interacting with people, just call any tips in, anything helps,” she says.
Dyer also shared a message for her brother, encouraging him to stay safe and return home soon.
“Travis, I know that everything doesn’t make sense right now, but please, we hope you are keeping yourself safe, just know that you are 100 per cent loved by your family, there’s an unconditional amount of love and healing to give, we hope that you are home soon, we will never stop looking for you,” she says.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Travis Dyer is asked to contact the Grande Prairie RCMP at (780)-830-5701 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
