In the autumn of 2016, a 51-year-old Indigenous man named Maxwell Harvey Mayling vanished from Prince George, British Columbia, leaving his loved ones in a state of profound uncertainty. He had last been in contact with friends and family sometime in early October of that year. Mayling had relocated to Prince George from the Fort St. John area in the spring of 2016 and was known to frequent both communities. He was a father of two, described by his family as an "incredible guy" and "a pillar in my life," a kind and generous person who was deeply missed. Concern mounted as the weeks went by with no word, leading his family to officially report him missing on November 6, 2016. The initial investigation into Mayling's whereabouts brought a significant but somber discovery. In late November 2016, his maroon 1995 Ford Taurus was found abandoned in downtown Prince George. The discovery of his vehicle without any sign of its owner intensified the concerns of both his family and the authorities. The Prince George RCMP expressed their serious concern for his well-being, treating the investigation as a priority. As time passed with no leads, the case grew more troubling. Police noted that Mayling was known to them and was believed to have associations with the drug trade, though a corporal clarified it was more a case of "bad associates" than direct illegal activity. By January 2017, the investigation took a more ominous turn when the Prince George RCMP's serious crime section took over, announcing that they were treating his disappearance as a possible homicide and suspected he had been a victim of foul play. That same month, his family, including his brother from Toronto and his mother from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, gathered in Prince George to make a heartfelt public plea for any information that could help locate him. Holding up a photo of his brother, Archer Pechawis stated, "We just want to know what happened to Max." Despite the passage of time, the search for answers continues. The case of Maxwell Harvey Mayling remains an unsolved disappearance, a painful mystery for a family left waiting. The official investigation continues to view his case through the lens of a potential homicide, with police believing that there are people who hold the information necessary to resolve the uncertainty surrounding what happened to him.
