The search for 11-year-old Parker, a neurodivergent boy with non-verbal autism who went missing from Calgary on July 16, 2026, has entered its eighth day.Calgary realtors are working closely with police to ensure all vacant properties in designated areas are thoroughly searched.

Real estate agents like Justine Poirier have been checking every property they list, including sheds, garages, and interiors, to prevent missing persons from hiding in accessible spaces.

The search spans neighborhoods where Parker was last seen, including Travis Crescent and Trail Drive, with police urging residents to report any sightings without approaching him.Over 550 officers have walked more than 7,000 km, while technical rescue teams use boats and cameras to search waterways.Community members, search crews, and even doorbell camera footage from realtors are aiding the effort.

Authorities emphasize that Parker may lock doors and become frightened by strangers, so the public is advised to keep him in sight and call 9-1-1 immediately.The case highlights collaboration between local businesses, police, and citizens in addressing a vulnerable child’s disappearance.
