Zwicker is described at five-foot-seven and 149 pounds. He has brown hair and was last seen wearing a white baseball cap, glasses, grey pants, black hoodie and white shoes without laces.

“The patient’s risk increases with the length of time he is away from treatment,” reads a news release from IWK Health.
