The brother of a young man who disappeared suddenly without a trace nearly a year and a half ago says it never gets any easier – and he’s calling on better supports for families who must endure the disappearance of a loved one.

Trevor “Pepsi” Hamlyn was last seen at his Imogene Crescent home in Paradise on June 16th, 2018. Earlier that day he borrowed a friend’s vehicle and ran some errands, getting ready for a get together with friends planned for later that evening.

This summer RNC revealed that the items he picked up included a 750 ml bottle of Jamieson whiskey and his favourite mix, a two-litre of Big 8 Ginger Ale.

His brother Geoff posted to the “Have You Seen Trevor Hamlyn?” facebook page saying there is nothing new to report in the case. He vows he will never stop searching, but says the province lacks the supports needed by a family like his who are going through “torture.”

Geoff Hamlyn says there are no rules or guidelines for families of missing loved ones and they are left to “figure it out” on their own. He hopes that better support systems will eventually be in place for families like his.
