TIMMINS POLICE SERVICE

*************************
The search for Timmins resident Lyola Denault continues with assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police.

On Saturday, September 13, the Timmins Police service and the OPP will continue their search by canvassing the areas near his last known whereabouts, as well as the Timmins area.

Officers will be providing information to residents to assist in recognizing and locating Denault, as well as the vehicle he is driving.

Police believe Denault may be disoriented, and are concerned for his well-being due to his age and mental state.

Denault was reported missing on September 4, 2014 after he failed to arrive at his destination in Petawawa.

He has since been sighted in the North Bay, Kirkland Lake and Matheson areas on September 4 and 5, when he stopped various witnesses to ask for directions and for assistance in changing a flat tire.

His last known whereabouts are in the Matheson area.

Denault is described as Caucasian, approximately 5’6” tall, 140 lbs, with a thin build, round face, brown eyes and glasses.

He has a grey mustache and short, grey hair.

He was last seen wearing a long-sleeved, plaid shirt and blue jeans.

He was last seen driving a 4-door, 2003 Chevrolet Impala, white/light grey in colour bearing license plate BMFB 707.

It is believed he is driving on a temporary emergency tire on the front passenger side of the vehicle.

On September 9, 2014, police requested the assistance of the Ontario Provincial Police’s helicopter, which attended the area.

The air-search yielded no results of Denault or the vehicle.

Anyone having information about Denault’s whereabouts or believing to have Denault over the past several days is asked to call the Timmins Police Service at 705-264-1201.
