We continue to ask for the public’s help in locating Parker, 11, and are providing an update on the extensive search and investigative efforts underway to find him.

Today, we are releasing new CCTV footage of Parker captured on Thursday, July 16 at 12:34 p.m. from a business adjacent to McKnight Boulevard and Centre Street N.W.

This video was captured prior to the previously released CCTV footage, confirming Parker’s location in the Thorncliffe area at 12:52 p.m. the same day. Although this footage does not offer new leads, it is important for the ongoing investigative efforts and we are now asking anyone in the Thorncliffe area who may have CCTV footage from Thursday, July 16, 2026 to now, regardless of whether Parker is seen, to submit the footage to police through the upload link.

Even footage that may seem insignificant could assist investigators in narrowing search areas or establishing potential travel routes. Footage can be submitted here: https://cps.ca.evidence.com/axon/community-request/public/ca26318270

The footage was identified through an extensive AI-assisted review of video evidence using specialized technology that allows investigators to rapidly analyze large volumes of CCTV, residential security camera and dashcam footage. Parker can be seen only briefly and in a very small section of the image. Given the volume of footage under review and the size of the subject within the frame, locating this footage through manual review alone would have been extremely challenging and time-consuming. This technology continues to play an important role in helping investigators quickly identify potential sightings and focus search efforts.

Since Parker was reported missing, an extensive multi-agency search and investigative effort has been underway. Police, search-and-rescue personnel and partner agencies have dedicated significant resources to locating him and continue to pursue every available lead.

To date, we have covered more than 6,500 kilometres of distance, the equivalent of the distance from Calgary to Dublin, Ireland. Search operations have included 5,000 total search hours, several hundred homes and businesses searched, aerial support, canine resources, mountain bike patrols, mounted patrols, extensive river searches by the Calgary Fire Department, including underwater camera deployments and extensive searches conducted by CPKC along its rail tracks and surrounding property.

More than 300 CPS members have assisted in the search effort, and officers have conducted door-to-door inquiries in surrounding communities and continue to canvas the area. Officers have reviewed, or are currently reviewing, over 100 hours of CCTV, residential security camera and dashcam footage. Approximately over 150 tips have been received and assessed by investigators.

Members of the public may continue to see a significant police and search presence in these communities, including our Air Support Unit, Mounted Patrol Team, Mountain Bike Unit, Canine Unit, patrol officers, investigators and trained search volunteers.

We ask the public to be cautious when viewing or sharing images and videos circulating online. Altered, AI-generated or unverified content can create confusion and divert attention from investigative efforts. Any verified imagery or information related to Parker will be released directly by the Calgary Police Service on our verified channels.

We know many Calgarians have been away over the past several days and may only now be returning home. We are again asking residents to thoroughly check their properties, including homes, garages, sheds, vehicles, trailers, recreational vehicles and other enclosed spaces. Parker is known to enter accessible buildings and lock doors behind him. Please take a moment to look carefully in small spaces, storage areas, utility rooms, behind lawn equipment, between fences and hedges, under decks and anywhere a child could seek shelter from the heat.

Parker was last seen shirtless, wearing dark shorts and black noise-cancelling headphones. He is described as 4’11” tall, weighing approximately 90 pounds, with brown hair, a shaved head and brown eyes.

He was last seen at his day home in the 0 to 100 block of Connaught Drive N.W. sometime between 11:08 and 11:41 a.m. on Thursday, July 16, 2026. Articles of clothing believed to belong to Parker were found around noon in the 0 to 100 block of Northmount Drive N.W. He was captured on CCTV footage on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at 12:52 p.m. in the 5000 to 6000 block of Travis Crescent N.E. and on the same day at 12:47 p.m. from a business adjacent to McKnight Boulevard and Centre Street N.W.

Parker is neurodivergent and non-verbal and may become even more scared if confronted by strangers. If Parker is located, members of the public are asked not to approach him. Instead, keep him in sight and call 911 immediately.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts, or who may have CCTV or dashcam footage of Parker, is asked to contact police by calling 403-266-1234 or by submitting it here: https://cps.ca.evidence.com/axon/community-request/public/ca26318270
