Edmonton police are keeping a search for a missing man alive, combing the area Sunday afternoon where 21-year-old Dylan Koshman went missing almost two months ago, after receiving new tips.
Several search attempts have been made since Koshman went missing from his home on Oct. 11 near 104th Street and 33rd Avenue, but they have all been unsuccessful.
Officers from the Edmonton police missing person's unit say they aren't giving up on finding Koshman and will search the area near Aspen Gardens until dusk Sunday and may renew their search Monday.
A search team made up of about 30 volunteers, 6 police officers and a few dog teams set up a command post at 118 Street and 20th Avenue Sunday.
"The investigation never ended, so it's not like we're starting up the investigation to his disappearance. We've been working with the soutwest division and his family since the beginning and as the infromation comes in we have to work on that information," said Edmonton police Sgt. Sean Jenkinson.
Koshman's parents and siblings from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan came to Edmonton at the end of October to search for him, but returned home without finding him.
Koshman was last seen walking away from the home wearing only shoes, jeans and a dark-coloured coat.
His friends said he had been drinking and they got into an argument and they asked him to leave.
Police say he hasn't answered his cell phone or used his bank account since.
Dylan Koshman is described as:
- 5'9" tall
- 190 lbs
- Last seen wearing a dark t-shirt and jeans
- Has scars on his left cheek and eyebrow
Anyone with information on Koshman's whereabouts is asked to call police at 780-423-4567.
