They say they have since learned Albert also goes by the last name Mosher and he has lost weight.

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.
