Still no sign of a 20-year-old Saint John man who has been missing for more than six weeks.
Chi Thien Tran, also known as John, was last seen on May 3 in the Parkwood Avenue area of the north end.
A black backpack with his ID in it was found on Bayshore Beach on the west side on May 17.
Investigators say they have reason to believe the backpack may have washed ashore.
Police say several marine searches have been conducted along the breakwater of Partridge Island and coastlines of Bayshore Beach, MacLarens Beach to Sheldon Point, Manawagonish Island, Red Head, Harbour Bridge and Reversing Falls areas.
Searches have also taken place in the area of Magazine Street, Rockwood Park, Parkwood Avenue, Park Street, Cameron Court, Thornborough Street, Bayshore Beach and Sea Street.
“The Saint John Police are asking anyone who lives or works in the area or along the shorelines to search their properties, outbuildings and any available video surveillance footage,” police said in a news release.
Tran is described as 5’3″ tall, weighing 114 lbs, with brown eyes and black hair, often worn in a ponytail at the top of his head. He may be wearing a black jacket, jeans and black Adidas sneakers.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Saint John Police Force at (506) 648-3333 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
