Durham police yesterday said they are continuing efforts to locate a missing, vulnerable male from Bowmanville, who was last seen at the end of June.
Elton John Cabaldon, age 46, was last seen going for a walk on Monday, June 22, 2020 and never returned home. He left his residence in the area of Green Road and McBride Avenue in Bowmanville early that morning. He is new to the area and may be lost, said a police statement.
The missing male requires daily medication which he left at home. There have been some possible sightings of him in the area of Highway 2 and Green Road. His family have concerns for his wellbeing, they said.
He is described as a male, tanned complexion, 5’5″ tall, medium build, short hair, black beard. He may be wearing an orange tank-top, black shorts and neon green/red running shoes.
Officers have searched the Bowmanville area but have not located him. If anyone knows his whereabouts, they are asked to contact their local police service.

I have seen This man many times the last time I have seen him was at the end of the month at green round Tim Hortons with another man sat in colour very dark to black hair I know he was wearing a bright coloured T-shirt they were heading away from Tim Horton towards the round about
This is a perfect example of what I’ve been saying about the amber alert system we’re forced to have on our phones. As a resident of Bowmanville, I wouldn’t mind the government alerting me that this Bowmanville man is missing. It would make sense for them to do so. They did not; instead, they alert us about kids missing 100s of KMs away that We have zero chance of coming across.
The government should either use the Amber alert system in a more reasonable way, or (at the very least) let us opt out of the system.
I agree the when vulnerable people are missing an alert if some sort should be considered. Regarding Amber Alerts – it has been shown that they work. There have been cases where the child(ren) have been located kilometers away from where they disappeared. Thus getting an Amber Alert for a child 100 kilometers away is not a bad thing – they may be the child found in your neighbourhood.
Sending encouragement to the family of this man, I hope he is located.
