Houston RCMP and the North District Major Crime Unit are renewing calls to find Michael Kowalchuk.
Police said the report was received on June 26, 2025, after family hadn’t heard from Kowalchuck for over a year.
Mounties added an investigation found his last known residence was in Granisle, with inquiries there and elsewhere unsuccessful in locating him.
Kowalchuck is described as:
- Caucasian man
- 57 years
- 6 ft
- 194 lbs
- Medium build
- Blonde hair, usually wears it in a ponytail
- Blue eyes
- Light brown goatee
His last confirmed sighting was in Prince Rupert in July 2024.
Police believe Kowalchuck’s white Cadillac Escalade was found burned and destroyed in the summer of 2024 on an unassigned road near Highway 118.
Officers said other items were believed to have been left near the vehicle which were not present when investigators were notified of the area.
Anyone who saw the vehicle, has video or photos of the area, has collected items near its location, or have more information about Kowalchick’s location is asked to call the Houston Detachment.
