The search has not yet provided any indication of where Lynn may be, and RCMP say they have no description of the clothing he was wearing.

Mark Lynn is described as:

  • Aboriginal
  • 179 cm or 5’ 10”
  • 76 kg or 167 lbs
  • medium build
  • brown hair
  • brown eyes

It takes 25 minutes to drive from Yellowknife to Dettah via the Ingraham Trail, or under 15 minutes by ice road in winter. Roughly 200 people live in the community.

If you know anything about the whereabouts of Mark Lynn, contact the Yellowknife RCMP at 867-669-1111 or Crimestoppers online at www.nwtnutips.com.
