Earlier story:

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) are requesting assistance from the general public in locating a missing teen.

Seventeen year old Tristan Karr was last seen in the area of Windgap Road in Torbay at about 4:15 p.m. on the afternoon of Sunday, June 4, 2023.

If anyone believes they may have seen Karr, they are asked to not approach him and to instead call the RNC. Karr is autistic and non-verbal so he may be confused and put himself in further danger.
