In the autumn of 2024, a 45-year-old Indigenous man named Patrick Garrett Chum seemingly vanished from the town of Cochrane, Ontario. The last confirmed sightings of him were in October of that year, with his official missing-since date recorded as October 3, 2024. In the time leading up to his disappearance, there was little to suggest such an abrupt and perplexing mystery was about to unfold. Patrick, a man with connections to the communities of North Bay and Moose Factory in addition to Cochrane, was known by friends and acquaintances by a few different names, including Pat-Garrett Chum, Chris Sutherland, and Pat Chum. The circumstances of when and where he was precisely last seen remain frustratingly unclear to the public, contributing to the deep concern for his well-being. Patrick is described as being approximately 5'7" tall and weighing around 161 pounds with a medium build. He has short black hair and brown eyes. His appearance is marked by several distinct features that his loved ones hope will help someone recognize him. He has visibly missing teeth, a mole on the left side of his jaw, and a burn scar on his right calf. A particularly personal and identifying mark is a tattoo on his left calf that depicts a feather accompanied by the words “TANIKA ALEENA”. Despite these details being shared, public information regarding the specifics of his disappearance is scarce. Authorities have not released details about what he was wearing, who he was with, or what his plans may have been at the time he went missing. The lack of public information has been a significant challenge in the search for Patrick. With no confirmed vehicle associated with his disappearance, it is unknown if he was walking, using public transport, or had received a ride from someone. His case has not received extensive media coverage, which has made it difficult to keep his story in the public eye and generate new leads. As time continues to pass, the silence surrounding his last known movements is a heavy burden for those who know and miss him. The overview of the case is one of profound uncertainty, a portrait of a man who disappeared with almost no trace, leaving a void of information and a family waiting for answers.
