Saanich police have released new photos of a 24-year-old man who hasn’t been seen for almost two weeks.

Initally reported as being missing since March 13, police have now confirmed a sighting of Kielan Hall leaving a residence near Cooper and Admirals roads, near Admirals Walk, at 6 a.m. on March 14.

He was on foot and wearing a black zip-up Nike jacket, darkcolour­ed long pants, black and white Air Jordan shoes, and a dark-coloured Atlanta Braves hat, police said.

On Tuesday, police released a grainy photo of Hall they said was taken at 10 p.m. on March 13.

Hall is described as six-feet tall and about 180 pounds with blue-grey eyes and short brown hair. He has several tattoos, including a black widow spider with a web behind his left ear, a melting smiley face on the inside of his right forearm, a devil tattoo on his chest, and a newly tattooed dollar sign on his left thumb.

“If you have seen him or know his whereabout­s please don’t wait, call immediatel­y,” said Saanich police spokespers­on Jason Hallman in a statement.

Hallman thanked those who have come forward with reported sightings.

Those tips continue to be investigat­ed but none so far have led to Hall being found, he said.

Friends and family of Hall have been co-ordinating search efforts in a Facebook group called Finding Keilan Hall. Created four days ago, the group now has about 1,300 members.

His family are worried for Hall’s well-being as he typically contacts his mother daily.

Police ask anyone with informatio­n about Hall’s whereabout­s to contact Saanich police at 250470-4321 or via majorcrime@saanichpol­ice.ca.

Anonymous reports can be made by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
