Saskatchewan police seek help from Kelowna residents to find missing teen

Oct 24, 2025 | 11:44 AM

Police in Saskatchewan are asking for the public’s help in finding a 19-year-old man who has been missing for more than a month and may now be in the Kelowna area.

Travis Perlman was last seen on Sept. 18. Moose Jaw RCMP said their Criminal Investigation Section launched a missing persons investigation shortly after his disappearance.

Investigators said there have been unconfirmed reports suggesting Perlman may have returned to British Columbia. He previously lived in Kelowna and on Vancouver Island before moving to Saskatchewan.

Perlman is described as 5’8″, with brown hair, blue eyes and a spider tattoo on his left forearm. He was last seen wearing a dark grey zip-up Nike sweater with a green Nike logo, and grey Timberland boots.
