A mother in St. Catharines, Ont., is asking Manitobans to help her find her son, who has schizophrenia and was last seen in Manitoba nearly a month ago.

Yvon Shawn Guignard, 34, was last seen at Thompson General Hospital in the early hours of Nov. 28, RCMP said. His mother Wendy Guignard said he had been visiting a friend who was getting treatment there and disappeared soon after arriving.
we don't hear from him and wish that we could hear his voice," Wendy Guignard said Sunday from her home in St. Catharines. "I definitely would give anything to get a phone call from him."

RCMP told Guignard that her son had been frequenting the homeless shelters in Thompson up until late November, and members of the community reported his disappearance. She said although her son liked to travel, he's never gone more than a few weeks without checking in with them.

New leads..

Yvon Shawn Guignard, who suffers from schizophrenia and has been living out west for several months, was last seen Nov. 28 in Thompson, Man.

“We’ve got some new leads. We can’t really discuss too much,” Const. Yriah Butler of Thompson RCMP said of the case by phone Tuesday.

A tip received that morning has police expanding their search into Saskatchewan, he said, though he was unable to provide any further detail.

Guignard’s family in St. Catharines has been actively spreading word of his disappearance on social media and through various news outlets in hopes of garnering information from anyone who may have seen the blond, blue-eyed man.

Butler could not confirm whether the tip came as the result of someone seeing the social media postings created by the family, but did say media in some form played a role.

“We’re constantly trying to follow up on leads, focusing on them as they come in.”

Police, he said, have maintained close contact with Guignard’s family and have been working to ensure they’re aware of any new information that becomes available.

'It's devastating': Sister of missing man with schizophrenia seeks answers
October 31, 2016

Snipped...

...On Nov. 28, 2015, Shawn was last seen near the Thompson General Hospital at around 6 a.m. RCMP told the family that there was an altercation and a hospital staff member called police to have Shawn removed from the premises.

He hasn't been seen or heard from since.

"It's devastating, very devastating," Guignard said.

Wondering if he is less recognizable now, ie. if Shawn's hair looks brown because he has been unable to wash it, or in case he is wearing a hat.
imo.

...On Thanksgiving weekend, Tasha Girouard was handing out food at the shelter when she said she was approached by two women. Girouard said one of the women expressed that she knew Shawn and what happened to him.

"Someone knows something. There are no secrets on the streets," Girouard said.

"You just have to find the one that talks a lot."

Recent interview with Shawn's sister:

Shawn Guignard: The Most Dangerous Place | Free Podcasts | PodOmatic"

Melinda Guignard, who recently made a trip to Thompson and Churchill in order to speak with people who knew her brother during the brief time he was in the city, says she believes that there are some who know more about her brother’s disappearance than they’ve admitted to.

Yvon Shawn Guignard last spoke to family members in late November 2015, within a few days of arriving in Thompson and no more than a few days before he was reported missing. It was reported at the time that Shawn Guignard had last been seen on Nov. 28 at the Thompson General Hospital, but his sister says that information was incorrect and that he was actually last seen near the Thompson Homeless Shelter, where he had been staying, around 6:45 a.m. that day. His truck was found in the possession of someone he knew in Thompson and his wallet was at the homeless shelter, as he had given it to staff there to keep safe, Melinda Guignard says.

Around the time of his disappearance, Shawn Guignard had phoned his father to say that he was urgently in need of $40. He had been in Manitoba since June 2015, having stayed and worked in Lynn Lake for several months before coming to Thompson.

Within about a month of Shawn Guiginard’s disappearance, Manitoba RCMP issued a second plea for information, saying that they had exhausted all investigative avenues into his activities and possible whereabouts.

His sister says she has spoken to people Shawn was hanging around with just before he went missing and that she believes they either have information about or may have been involved in an altercation with her brother, who had been in another fight a few days prior to that with another man staying at the homeless shelter.

“Since the get-go, there’s been an outstanding amount of evidence that strongly suggests a crime,” Melinda Guignard told the Thompson Citizen in a late August phone call, shortly after having returned from Thompson, where she wore a shirt with her brother’s photo on it while talking to homeless people about Shawn.

The RCMP’s last public release of information regarding Shawn Guignard came about a year after he went missing. There is also information about his missing status on the Manitoba Crime Stoppers web page.

Melinda said her brother was not violent or dangerous when he had not been taking his medication, though he was sometimes paranoid, and that he could be “naive” and “gullible.”

“He might have befriended the wrong person,” she said, noting that she also found it strange that he would have given away his truck, which he used for work. “Why would he give his truck away? He was using that to make a living.”

A Red Seal welder who first showed signs of schizophrenia in his late teens, Shawn Guignard was 34 years old at the time he went missing and Melinda says her brother came to Manitoba because he wanted to work in a mine.

Melinda Guignard believes her brother falls into that same category and hopes that police are following up on information she has obtained and provided to them.

“It just seems like nobody’s really acknowledging the fact that a crime has taken place and somebody’s getting away with that crime,” she said. “And I don’t like that.”

Following her recent trip to Thompson, during which she spoke with someone who she believes knows exactly what happened to Shawn, Melinda says she’s done as much for her brother as she can, apart from just keeping his missing status in the public eye.

“As of right now, there’s nothing I can do,” she said.

Sister of man who went missing in Thompson seven years ago suspects that a crime occurred
