The Edmonton Police Service issued a plea for help from the public on Monday night as they try to locate a missing man.

They said Casey Edward Badger, 29, “is thought to be at significant risk” because he may need medication and because he’s been missing for over a week.

Badger was last seen on the afternoon of Tuesday, Jan. 28 at his residence near 147 Avenue and 122 Street N.W., according to police.

People who live in the Caernarvon neighbourhood should check exterior buildings like sheds and garages, said police, because Badger may be trying to keep warm.

Police said Badger “is required to take prescribed medication for a health condition and hasn’t taken it since going missing.”
