The Canadian Armed Forces is investigating the disappearance of a sailor who was reported missing from 12 Wing Shearwater in Nova Scotia.

Leading Seaman Benoit Bilodeau, 48, was reported missing on Wednesday.

According to a news release from the Canadian Forces, Bilodeau was last seen walking near a bus stop in front of the base around 4 p.m. on Saturday.

A military spokesperson said it is out of character for Bilodeau not to report for work every day.

The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service has received a number of tips in relation to Bilodeau’s disappearance, but is still asking anyone with information to contact military police.

The independent military unit, which investigates “serious and sensitive matters” relating to National Defence property and personnel, has not ruled out foul play in the case.

Bilodeau is described as a white male, six-foot-one and approximately 165 lbs. He has short brown hair.

He was last seen carrying a standard military pattern olive green duffle bag.

Bilodeau has nearly 30 years of service and works as a supply technician.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Military Police Unit in Halifax at 902-722-4446.
