Fox Elric was last seen in Whitehorse on July 18. Elric — also known as Keith Atlin — was reported missing on July 21.
Yukon RCMP put out a missing person report on July 22.

Elric, 30, wears glasses. His head is shaved and he has a black moustache and beard. He is Indigenous, is five-foot-10-inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. He often wears a hat, sunglasses, dark clothing and flip flop sandals.

Elric's mother, Eileen Atlin, said she last saw him going into the Mental Wellness and Substance Use Services office on Second Avenue in downtown Whitehorse on Friday morning. She said a staff member texted her on Monday, asking if she knew where Elric was.

Atlin said her son is "a gentle, polite, kind person." She said he likes to walk long distances and has walked as far as Carcross and Tagish from Whitehorse before. He also likes to explore Grey Mountain and Chadburn Lake.

Atlin said Yukon Search and Rescue was out searching for Elric over the weekend.

"He could be anywhere," Atlin said. "I'm still trying to fight for hope."
