The RCMP Major Crimes Unit is once again asking for help from the public in locating 26-year-old Adam Pearson, who is wanted on a charge of First Degree Murder of Cody Michaloski.

In October 2019, the RCMP launched an investigation into the suspicious death of Michaloski in Grande Prairie, which led to first degree murder charges being laid against Benjamin (25) and Adam Pearson.
