Closure is being sought by family of a senior man who went missing more than a year ago from Coldstream.
The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP is renewing a call to the public for information in the missing person investigation of Robert Lee Baines.
Baines, 83, was reported missing in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2024.
He left on foot from a home on Ponderosa Way in Coldstream and after initial searches by family members failed to locate him, police were called to assist.
An extensive search of the neighbourhood and nearby Kal Park was undertaken on foot and from the air with the assistance of a drone.
In addition, a thorough water search was carried out on Kalamalka Lake in an effort to locate Baines.
Sadly, one year later, he still has not been found.
It鈥檚 now been over a year since Mr. Baines was first reported missing,
states Const. Chris Terleski, Vernon North Okanagan RCMP media relations officer.
We鈥檙e renewing our appeal to remind everyone that Robert is still out there. We鈥檙e bringing the case back to the public鈥檚 attention, with the hope of generating new leads, finding Robert, and bringing closure to the family.
