Charlottetown police say they haven't stopped looking for a man who's been missing for more than three months.

Craig Owen Johnston, 39, was last seen Nov. 14, 2018. A ground search in the Parkdale area of the city last year turned up no sign of him.

Contacted Monday by CBC, a family member said Johnston is, "an awesome dad who loves his kids."

Johnston worked at a local cab company as a dispatcher, according to family.

Police told CBC News the case remains open and they're looking for tips from the public.

They are planning another search in spring, perhaps with drones and aircraft.

Johnston is six feet tall and weighs about 174 pounds.

Police said he may have been wearing a black windbreaker and green winter hat when he disappeared, and may have been carrying a black kit bag.
