The search for Daniel Reoch is continuing with efforts from the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵRCMP and Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵSearch and Rescue.

Reoch is a 29-year-old Indigenous man. He is 5'9, 150 lbs. and has short brown hair and brown eyes. A family member contacted the RCMP on Jan. 7, after he had not been heard from since before Christmas. His family said this is unusual for Reoch.

"Our Lewis family, the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵNation and the community as a whole are extremely concerned as to the whereabouts of Daniel Reoch. It is extremely out of character for him not to check in with family, friends, or his children," Deanna Lewis, a family member, and Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵNation representative, said in the

Later that day, his vehicle was reported abandoned and has since been seized by Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵRCMP.

After the RCMP were unable to locate Reoch during wellbeing checks, they have been following leads and working with Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵNation, Integrated First Nations Unit, BC Police Missing Persons Centre and Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵSAR. The police have conducted searches of the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵValley and Paradise Valley area with the help of SAR.
