A Meadow Lake man known as a “survivalist” is the subject of a missing persons case.

RCMP say 46 year old Nels Bernhard Sibley left his home on New Year's Day.  He left dressed for inclement weather, wearing a snowmobile suit, winter bibbed pants, knee high winter boots, a fur cap with flaps, and mitts. He was pulling a toboggan filled with winter kit and items needed to survive in the bush.

Police say he has survived in the bush in winter weather before, living off the land. But he's also schizophrenic and has been off his medication.

Meadow Lake Detachment members continue to conduct patrols of the City of Meadow Lake and have been in contact with Sibley's known associates. At present, patrols are being conducted in and around the Rat Creek area and the area surrounding the St Cyr Hills.
