Calgary police are hoping to identify two people they believe might have information on a missing persons file from 2016.

Abdikadir Tukhov, 43, was reported missing by friends on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2016. He was last seen on Monday, Dec. 5, 2016, leaving a home in Abbeydale.

Police said they have exhausted any signs that might lead police to Tukhov but say new information has led them to believe his disappearance is suspicious.

According to police, friends also believe that he may have been met with foul play.

Police said Tukhov lived a transient lifestyle and spent time in Calgary, Grande Prairie, Edmonton and Red Deer. It is believed he worked as a taxi driver in Grand Prairie before his disappearance.
