The detachment said in a news release Wednesday that it has followed up on "numerous leads" but has been unable to locate the missing man.

Investigators have found surveillance video showing Liu walking south on Taylor Way at Main Street in West Vancouver around 10 p.m. on the night of his disappearance.

Police describe Liu as an Asian man with a slim build and fair complexion. He stands 5'11" and weighs 180 pounds, and he has short black hair, brown eyes and "a black mustache and other facial hair."

"Liu was last seen wearing a white t-shirt with a colourful pattern on the front, light beige shorts, black runners, white socks, sunglasses, and a yellow bucket hat," police said. "He was also carrying a brown and white backpack."
