On September 15, 2010, his 28th birthday, Glen Warren Neil Wesley, a patient at the Northeast Mental Health Hospital in North Bay, Ontario, was granted a short-term pass to leave the facility. It is believed that he may have taken a city bus to the downtown area of North Bay to celebrate his birthday. Wesley, who was being treated for schizophrenia and required medication, was expected to return but never did.
Hospital staff reported him missing to the North Bay Police Service later that day when he failed to come back. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as an Indigenous male, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing approximately 300 pounds with a heavy build, short black hair, and brown eyes. He has a scar on his left wrist and was last seen wearing a black jacket, a black shirt, and black pants.
The investigation into Glen Wesley's disappearance has been ongoing since 2010. North Bay Police have interviewed several people known to him, but all attempts to locate him have been unsuccessful. Over the years, there have been several unconfirmed sightings of Wesley in other Ontario communities, including Cochrane, Timmins, and New Liskeard. His case is one of six unsolved disappearances from the same psychiatric hospital between 1966 and 2010. The disappearance has had a profound impact on his family and the community.
In an effort to generate new leads, the North Bay Police Service released an age-progressed drawing in April 2026 to show what Glen Wesley might look like in the present day. The police service continues to appeal to the public for any information, no matter how small, that might help progress the investigation. His case remains an active and unsolved missing person investigation. The overview of this case reveals a vulnerable individual who went missing under concerning circumstances, becoming one of a series of disappearances from a single institution, leaving his family with unanswered questions for over a decade.Last Seen: Sep 15, 2010
