CALGARY – Police have identified the remains of a Calgary man who disappeared 2 1/2 years ago and are investigating his death as a homicide.
The remains were discovered in May 2024 at an undisclosed location outside Calgary.
Robert Stanley Mainland was last seen in January 2023 at a 7-Eleven convenience store.
He was 65 at the time of his disappearance and had lived in the same northeast Calgary neighbourhood for over 40 years.
Police say they believe Mainland was the victim of foul play.
They’re asking members of the public to come forward with information to help with the investigation.
