Josh Slauenwhite-Located

Name :

SLAUENWHITE, Josh

Note:

Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Joshua Maxwell Slauenwhite who was

found deceased on December 11, 2020.

Joshua was last seen on August 4th, 2017, at a convenience
store in Farmington Nova Scotia. He left on foot, walking towards
New Germany. Leading up to his disappearance, Joshua
Slauenwhite had endured a nightmarish four years. He had fought
to overcome an addiction to prescription painkillers, overcame two
suicide attempts and multiple stays at the South Shore Regional
Hospital’s psychiatric unit. But it seemed to his mother that for a
period of seven months her boy was starting to overcome
schizo-affective disorder, a condition encompassing both
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder symptoms. He was painting
again, regaining his quirky sense of humor and feeling
increasingly optimistic.
But on the afternoon of August 4th, between 2:00 and 3:00 pm, he
purposely walked off the family property in Farmington,
Lunenburg County. Moments before that, Slauenwhite had
declined his mother’s invitation to join her for a trip to Bridgewater.
Surveillance camera footage from a nearby convenience store,
captured the same day he disappeared, is all his mother and the
RCMP have to go on. Slauenwhite purchased cigarettes, an
energy drink and a sandwich before he left the store. He has
not been seen since.
Joshua’s family is concerned for his well being. He has been
known to wander off before, but he was always found and
returned home safely.
Joshua’s sister had received a text message from him 1 week
prior to his disappearance. She has also sent a few Snapchat
messages to Joshua in June of 2019 that have all be ‘opened on
his end. She has reported this to the authorities but hasn't gotten
any help in finding out if it is Joshua opening these messages or if
someone else is using his phone and account. His email and bank
account hasn't been used since his disappearance.
It is believed that Joshua had regular contact with his wife in Red
Deer and that he was trying to make amends with her and regain
his marriage.
