It’s been over a week and there is still no sign of a senior man who went missing in Coldstream.
Robert Baines was last seen leaving his daughter’s house on Ponderosa Way Jan. 2 around 6 a.m.
The 83-year-old was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers and his family is frantic to find him, having recently posted photos on social media of what he was last seen wearing.
RCMP and Search and Rescue crews have scoured the area, including Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park.
But as of Monday, Jan. 8, Vernon North Okanagan RCMP media relations officer Const. Chris Terleski confirms Baines has not been located.
And the hunt in Kal Park ended Saturday, Jan. 6.
“All search and rescue personnel and resources have been stood down for the time being,” said Terleski. “We are still continuing with our investigation and are still actively searching for Mr. Baines.”
Baines was last seen wearning a green jacket, blue jeans, Tilly hat and brown hiking shoes.
