Missing Soldier Located in Thailand

News Release

April 14, 2005 OTTAWA -- A Canadian Forces (CF) soldier missing from his unit for 21 months has been located in Thailand and returned to Canada on Wednesday, escorted by the military's National Investigation Service (NIS). Sgt. Montgomery Paisley reported to the Canadian embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, April 7, at which time arrangements were made to transfer him into Canadian custody. Members of the NIS traveled to Thailand to escort him back to Canada. Although the matter of his absence without authority is under investigation, his well-being and the welfare of his family are the CF's main concerns at this time. If charges are laid under the National Defence Act, this information will be made public with a subsequent news release. The NIS has a mandate to investigate serious and sensitive matters in relation to National Defence property and CF personnel serving in Canada and abroad. - 30 - DND/CF Public Affairs Contacts
