They say they have since learned Albert also goes by the last name Mosher and he has lost weight.
Investigators say his last confirmed sighting was on Ron Street in Bridgewater on Aug. 21, but there have also been unconfirmed reports of sightings in Wileville, N.S., that day.
Cpl. Guillaume Tremblay confirmed to CTV News in an email that the circumstances surrounding his disappearance are now considered suspicious.
The Southwest Nova Major Crime Unit has taken over the investigation from the Lunenburg District RCMP.
Police describe Albert (Mosher) as five-foot-nine and 150 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.
