Vancouver police are asking the public for help in finding a man who hasn’t been seen in several weeks.

According to the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), 32-year-old Max Renger was reported missing on March 14, after last being seen in the city’s Fairview neighbourhood.

Investigators say banking, phone, and internet records were checked, leading them to believe Renger was “initially taking steps to avoid being found.”

However, given how long it’s been since he was last seen, police are making a public appeal to find him.

Renger is described as 5’11” with a slim build. He has long, black hair, and was last seen wearing a white hooded sweater and red sweatpants.
