QUESNEL, B.C. — RCMP are once again appealing to the public for information on a man who has been missing from the Quesnel area for over a month.

Andrew Charles Ward was last confirmed to have been seen alive on May 9, 2020 at around 7:20 p.m. at the 4 Mile Store and Coffee Shop located on the Barkerville Hwy. just outside of Quesnel, in the company of another individual known to him. Ward left the store in his grey Jeep YJ and was last believed to be headed towards the Pinnacles Rd. area.

Quesnel RCMP say that since Ward’s disappearance is out of character, they and Ward’s family are very concerned for his safety.

Quesnel RCMP requested the help of the B.C. RCMP Major Crime Section, and have been investigating the disappearance together. Extensive searches with the Forensic Identification Section, Air Services, Underwater Recovery teams and the police Dog Service have been conducted, without successfully locating Ward.
