Winnipeg police are asking the public’s help in finding a 39-year-old man who has been missing since Saturday.

Dale Bighetty — who is described as five-foot-eight, 115 lbs with a thin build and short, dark hair — was last seen Oct. 30 near Sherbrook Street and William Avenue, wearing a grey and blue jacket, light blue jeans and grey shoes.

Police said he’s known to frequent the area around Portage Avenue and Carlton Street, and has difficulty communicating, so may not respond even if he’s called by name.

Downtown residents are being asked to check in parked vehicles, under decks and in outbuildings where he may have sought shelter.
