Yes, also individual threads for each of those three missing men.Good find. I poked around a bit more and there is no update to whether or not he has been found. Is there a separate thread about the 3 men who disappeared from the village 2010-2012?
the two people from Australia, who took their names of his facebook friends list, may have a conservation of where he may be, I wonder.
Michelle Wheeler, Wells’ sister, told the Star Wells has been homeless for about three years after she stopped paying rent when their mother died. She had been living with her boyfriend under a bridge near Bloor and Parliament Streets.
“I think our mother dying is why she started living on the streets. I think if our mom was still here, things would have been different,” said Wheeler.
“Alloura’s just in a really bad spot in her life right now. She’s just a great person.”
Wheeler said Wells was on Facebook everyday and when her Facebook wasn’t updated mid-July, she became suspicious.
She stopped responding to my Facebook messages and I had a bad feeling about it.”
Sterling said she’s partnered up with the organizers of the searches for missing Toronto man Andrew Kinsman, who was last seen in April.
Hi all, I did a podcast episode outlining the disappearance of Andrew, Selim Esan and the 3 men who disappeared between 2010-2012. It's a pretty comprehensive overview of the case. I hope it helps streamline the timeline of events!

Is serial killer behind disappearances of 5 men from the Gay Village?
News Nov 19, 2017 by Andrew Palamarchuk
Robin LeBlanc has a constant reminder of the mysterious and suspicious disappearance of her friend and neighbour Andrew Kinsman: a police seal on his apartment door.
Then there’s Kinsman’s doormat and other belongings in “his area” out front of his door.
“We’ve got a nice little place here in Cabbagetown and every couple of days neighbours walk past asking if there’s any new news,” LeBlanc said in a recent interview. “There’s a bit of hope, and we’re still hoping that regardless of what the news is that there is some kind of closure. We’re very hopeful of that.”
Some fear a serial killer may be responsible for the mysterious disappearances.
“That has been suggested by certain segments of the community,” Richmond said. “We don’t have any evidence to establish that. We don’t also have any evidence that excludes that.”
University of Toronto associate professor of sociology Jooyoung Lee, who teaches a course on serial homicides, said the disappearances have “all the signs of what we typically see” in serial murders.
“Any time you have a collection of missing persons cases, … that usually is a kind of warning sign. And it sort of fits into the narrative of a lot of other (serial homicide) cases,” Lee said. “Jeffrey Dahmer, for example, used to hunt for his victims in gay bath houses and gay bars in Milwaukee.”
“One of the things that the FBI has shown since the ‘80s is that there’s a significant portion of serial killers who are primarily motivated by sexually sadistic fantasies and this idea of violent sex, dominating another person, of having complete control over them,” Lee said. “Serial killers also tend to have a pattern in the victims that they select.”
The vast majority of missing persons cases are resolved within a few days.
Lee noted it’s still unclear if a serial killer is responsible for the five suspicious disappearances in The Village.
“But what I can say is that many serial homicide cases begin this way where there are one or two or three people who are last seen or go missing in a particular neighbourhood.”
“We’re hoping for more tips,” said Richmond, of 51 Division. “We would like to speak to anyone who saw Andrew Kinsman on or around the 26th of June. We’d like to speak to anyone who knows these (missing) persons who has not already been spoken to by police, particularly people that communicated with any of our missing persons via social media or dating applications.”
And as for the police seal on Kinsman’s apartment door?
“We don’t believe that it (his apartment) is a crime scene. Having said that, it was Andrew Kinsman’s personal abode; we would like to keep some level of security on it,” Richmond said. “As this investigation has progressed, we’ve continually gone in his home in search of other information… so we’ve removed a number of articles from that home in the hopes of furthering the investigation.”
Kim Rossmo - Geographic Profiling
CIS Conference 1998
Good morning everybody. It’s been said in terms of real estate that the three most
important elements are location, location, location. In terms of criminal investigation I wouldn’t want to go that far, but crime scene locations can give us some important
insights into where an offender may be
based, and help us focus the criminal investigative process. That’s what geographic profiling is all about.
A couple of summers ago, a young girl by the name of Mindy Tran was abducted and murdered in the town of Kelowna in the interior of British Columbia, and before her body was found she was a missing person and there was a lot of concern, a lot of media attention, posters up everywhere, thistype of thing. The RCMP detachment, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Klona were responsible for the case. A psychic lady came in to them, she said “I can help you find Mindy Tran’s body”. Also a hair-finder guy came in to them and he said “I can help you find Mindy Tran’s body”. Do you know what a hair-finder is? No? Okay, you have a little plastic film canister and you take the hair of the person you’re looking for and you put it in that plastic film canister, you attach that to a stick, and it takes you tothe person you’re looking for. So the RCMP figured they would get rid of two nuts at once, took some hair from Mindy Tran’s hairbrush which they gave to the hair-finder guy, and they put him together with the psychic lady and they said “go do your thing”. So the psychic lady stood on top of a hill in Kelowna, and she did her thing, and she said “I believe Mindy Tran’s body is in that park”. They walked down the hill to the park, and the hair-finder guy did his thing, and he wandered around the park for several hours, with his hair-finder, and he found Mindy Tran’s body. It’s a true story, I can’t explain it, I only tell you that because those people could put us out of business.

Cloutier went to the house on Sept 21 to look around, but he says nothing looked out of the ordinary.
