Police report that Brian’s family successfully traced the location of his truck using its GPS system to a petrol station situated on County Road 27 in Summerstown, Ontario, which is located to the east of Cornwall.

The Ontario Provincial Police – East Region provides an update: “The OPP expresses gratitude to all individuals who have offered their assistance in the hunt for Brian. Currently, we are not soliciting volunteer searchers. The search has been ongoing since the investigation started, with the involvement of the OPP Emergency Response Team, Canine Units, and other police. In addition, we deployed an OPP helicopter and a Remote Piloted Aerial System (drone) to conduct a search of the area. The presence of well-meaning but inexperienced citizens conducting independent searches can actually impede our efforts.”
The presence of this substance has the ability to pollute potential odor paths that our Canine Units could initiate tracking on, and disrupt any other potential evidence or indicators that could aid us in locating Brian. The OPP maintains continuous communication with a family member of Brian who is presently located in the vicinity. We kindly request residents of the Summerstown vicinity to thoroughly inspect their own premises and any additional structures, and promptly notify us of any atypical findings. If anyone has observed an individual who closely resembles Brian based on his physical description and photographs, since his last sighting at approximately 4:30 pm on April 24, kindly reach out to the SD&G OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Please specify that you are contacting in reference to incident number E240508329, which pertains to the case of the missing person, Brian.
