His Burnt Out Truck Was Found, But Where Is Marshal Iwaasa? Updated 01/09/2020

Marshal Iwaasa

He loved the outdoors, was creative and crafty. He was really active in the gym and had a lot of friends from there. Marshal came from a small town and had many childhood friendships that exist to this day. He was kind, thoughtful and loved animals. One of his favorite places to go was the Zoo. 

26-year-old Marshal had on a break from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and visiting his family in Lethbridge. On November 17th, he decided to head back to school, or that's what his family thought. Marshal never showed up at school. His family didn't know he was missing until they received a call that his vehicle had been found. 

On November 23rd, hikers who were near the end of a forest service road came upon a burned-out vehicle matching the description of Marshal’s GMC truck. It had likely only been there for a couple of days, meaning there would be nearly one week of time that was unaccounted for.  His belongings were found scattered north of Pemberton, B.C. Among those belongings were  two passports (an expired one belonging to Iwaasa), a Playstation, an Xbox, clothing, toiletries, cell phones that had been destroyed and a laptop that was also destroyed. There was also a path of clothes that were partially burned leading to a nearby creek.

Authorities have exhausted their search in the mountains and in the creek for Marshal. The family needs your help to find Marshal and bring him home. They are asking people in communities between Lethbridge and Pemberton to think back to the period between November 17th and November 22nd, to try and remember if they may have seen Marshal or his truck. They are also urging convenience stores and gas stations to check their surveillance video during that time period.

Marshal's family found out that he wasn't enrolled in Southern Alberta Institute of Technology November of 2019.

Last time Marshal was seen he was 5'11" tall, 170 lbs with brown eyes, curly shoulder-length brown hair (which he usually wears tied back), and a mustache. He was wearing a green hoodie, a grey beanie, red high-top shoes, and black pants.

His truck is described as a dark blue 2009 GMC Sierra with Alberta license plate BLL 1099.

Anyone with information about Marshal’s disappearance or whereabouts is asked to contact Pemberton RCMP at (604) 894-6634 or the Calgary Police Service at (403) 266-1234. o report anonymously, contact Calgary Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
