Police seek missing couple
WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — Police are seeking the publics assistance in locating a missing couple, Mihai Vornicu and his wife Marie Olarte.
On August 8, 2016, Mihai Vornicu, a 44 years old man and his wife Marie Olarte 58 years old, were reported missing to the Williams Lake RCMP. The initial investigation determined that Vornicu’s 2005 Volvo C50 station wagon bearing BC Plate CH096V was found parked on Mackenzie Avenue North in Williams Lake on July 26, 2016. The vehicle was towed and there had been no attempts to retrieve the vehicle from the impound lot, since that date.

Marie Olarte does have current health conditions that may require medical monitoring, which gives rise to further concerns for her wellbeing since their disappearance.
