File # M-Division 2007-1181859 2007-10-16 11:10 PDT

The RCMP Ross River Detachment is seeking the public's assistance in locating a missing person.

Norman M. Hennel, in his 60s, of Yellowknife was last seen on Monday, September 3, 2007
when he was dropped off by plane in the Keel Lake area located approximately 80 kilometres
northwest of the MacMillan pass on the Yukon/ Northwest Territory border.

Hennel is a Caucasian with blue eyes and grey hair. He is of medium to heavy build,
approximately 1.80 meters (5'11") tall and weights approximately 81 kilograms (180 pounds).
Hennel was last seen wearing a black Carhartt-type jacket, green wool pants, rubber boots and
baseball cap. He was carrying a rifle, tarp/fly, axe and a Trapper Nelson backpack.

Hennel was first reported missing on October 1, 2007. The RCMP immediately attempted
multiple air searches of the Keel Lake area which were hampered due to poor weather
conditions. The area is not accessible from the ground at this time of year due to snow/ ground
conditions. On October 8, 2007, a thorough search of the area's camp and cabins showed no
signs of human activity.

RCMP investigators are unable to determine if Hennel is still in the Keel Lake area. It is possible
that Hennel may have obtained a ride on the North Canol highway and travelled to British
Columbia, Alberta or Northwest Territory.

RCMP officers are asking anyone with information on Hennel or his whereabouts to contact the
RCMP Whitehorse Detachment at 667-5555 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
