Missing person investigation still open for Kinngait man: RCMP
Pitseolak Pootoogook, 36, has been missing since November
Police say the missing-person investigation involving a Kinngait man who disappeared in November last year will remain open in 2023.
Pitseolak Pootoogook, 36, was last seen in Kinngait on Nov. 19, 2022.
In an email, Nunavut RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Pauline Melanson said Kinngait RCMP “conducted a thorough search in conjunction with the community and followed up on any incoming information.”
“At this time the missing person investigation will remain open and the police will continue to follow up on any information as it comes in,” Melanson said.
On Dec. 6, the RCMP’s underwater recovery team, along with Kinngait search-and-rescue, went to an area near Mallik Island where it is believed Pootoogook was last seen.
“Search efforts were conducted with negative results,” an RCMP news release said at the time.
Pootoogook is five-foot-six, weighs 140 pounds and has long, black hair, a moustache, and brown eyes. He is known to wear a black jacket and black shoes.
Anyone with information on Pootoogook’s whereabouts can contact Kinngait RCMP at 867-897-1111.
