Please Help Bring Missing 11-Year-Old Parker Wells Home Safely

Somewhere in Calgary tonight, a family is holding onto hope through unimaginable pain. An empty bedroom, untouched belongings, and the silence of a missing child are reminders that 11-year-old Parker Wells is still not home.

Every hour without answers feels endless for the people who love him most. His family continues to hope that someone, somewhere, may have information that leads to the moment they have been praying for—the moment Parker is safely reunited with them.

Parker has been missing since Thursday, July 16, 2026, and the search continues with determination. Parker is autistic, non-verbal, and has significant developmental needs, making this situation especially urgent. He may not be able to communicate his needs or seek help in the way many children can.

Hundreds of Calgary Police officers, RCMP members, search-and-rescue teams, volunteers, and partner agencies have dedicated countless hours searching for Parker. Authorities have stated that there is currently no evidence of an abduction and that foul play is not suspected, but the search continues, and his family is still waiting for the day they can hold him again.

Police are also reminding the public to share only verified information. False reports, AI-generated images, fake videos, and unconfirmed social media posts can create confusion and take attention away from the important work of finding Parker.

If you have information about Parker’s whereabouts, please contact authorities immediately.

If you see Parker, please do not approach him or call out to him, as unfamiliar people may frighten him. If it is safe to do so, keep him in sight from a distance and call 911 right away.

Every responsible share, every careful observation, and every credible tip could make a difference.

Please continue to share verified updates from the Calgary Police Service and keep Parker, his family, and all those searching for him in your thoughts. We hope the day comes soon when Parker is safely back home with the people who love him.
