Hamilton police now have several leads that might help them find missing Ancaster man Timothy Bosma, according to Staff Sergeant Matt Kavanagh.
On Tuesday, police released descriptions of the two men that were last seen with Bosma.
"We have quite a lot of feedback from the public and from other police departments after putting that information out to the media," Kavanagh said.
Police did not provide sketches of the men along with the physical descriptions released Wednesday, but Kavanagh said they may do so if the current leads don't pan out.
"Once we've exhausted those, we might do a sketch, but there's some pretty good leads coming through."
The first man is described as white, six foot one inches to six foot two inches tall, about 180 lbs with light to medium short brown hair. He is unshaven and was wearing blue jeans, a long sleeve orange shirt and running shoes.
The other man is described as five foot nine inches to five foot 10 inches tall with a small to medium build, in his early to mid 20s. He has dark hair and was wearing a red hooded sweater with the hood up over his head.
Ground search continues
Thursday morning, police continued their ground search in the rural area around Bosma's home where he was last seen but Kavanagh said that part of the investigation is almost complete.
Bosma was reported missing near his home on Monday after two men arrived to take his truck, which he had posted for sale online, for a test drive. He was last seen with the two suspects in his 2007 black Dodge Ram 3500 pickup truck with the licence plate number 726 7ZW.
Due to the unusual circumstances, the homicide unit was called in to investigate Tuesday night but the case remains a missing persons case and not a murder investigation, according to Kavanagh.
Bosma posted his truck for sale on Kijiji.ca and AutoTrader.ca on April 28, police said. He was contacted by a man on May 6 to arrange to see the vehicle. Bosma had included his cell phone number in the ad, so there are no e-mail correspondences for police to track. However, police had been tracking Bosma's cell phone, which was shut off after his disappearance.
Two men arrived at the house around 9:20 p.m. on Monday evening to check out the truck and Bosma told his wife Sharlene he was taking them for a test drive. When he did not return home, Sharlene contacted police.
Bosma's family has stated they don't wish to speak to the media at this time, under the advisement of the investigating officers.
Bosma was last seen wearing dark blue jeans, work boots and a long sleeve shirt.
Police are continuing to investigate, including launching a wide-spread ground search with K9 units, Ontario Provincial Police Officers and a search and rescue team in the rural area surrounding the family's Ancaster home where Bosma was last seen.
Bosma's truck description has been alerted to all police agencies and border agencies but they have had no information as of yet, Kavanagh said.
Police are asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact Division Three at 905-546-4930 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Search efforts have received much support from users of Facebook and Twitter.
