The 2025 Yukon Homicide Victim List is available HERE

The Yukon RCMP Major Crime Unit is appealing to the public for any information that could assist in the investigation into the murder of Tyler William Maloney.

Maloney, also known as “Will,” was reported missing by his family on August 11, 2025. Following an ongoing investigation, police now believe he was the victim of a homicide and are seeking information from anyone who may be able to help clarify what happened and provide answers for his loved ones.

He arrived in Yukon in spring 2024 and was known to spend time in the downtown Whitehorse area. Without a permanent residence, he stayed intermittently with acquaintances and moved between locations. The last confirmed sighting of him was on October 21, 2024, in Whitehorse, after which investigators believe he was killed.

Maloney had connections in several provinces, including New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia’s Lower Mainland.

He is described as a Caucasian male, 30 years old, about 5’5″ tall and weighing approximately 230 pounds, with a heavy build. He had short brown hair, sometimes wore a beard and moustache, and has blue eyes with amblyopia affecting his right eye. He also had a distinctive tattoo on his forehead above his right eyebrow reading “Nefarious.”

Police have expressed their condolences to his family and friends as the investigation continues. Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact the Yukon Major Crime Unit or their local police detachment.
