KAMLOOPS — RCMP are renewing an appeal for information into the disappearance of a Kelowna man last believed to be in Kamloops.

Detachment spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn initially informed the public of Joseph Driscoll’s disappearance on Nov. 17.

Driscoll, 43, was captured on video on Nov. 11 at about 11:50 p.m., walking away from the Tournament Inn in Valleyview. Less than two hours later, Driscoll was captured on camera at another Valleyview motel. At about 1:45 a.m., he was seen in the 1700-block of the East Trans Canada Highway, near the Wendy’s and McDonald’s restaurants.

“Since the initial appeal to the public, police have collected video footage that confirms Joseph was not dressed for the weather and was outside in the Valleyview area for some time,” said Evelyn. “Police are very concerned for his wellbeing and are asking residents to please check their sheds and outbuildings, as well as their home security or dash cameras, for any signs that he could have been there.”

The image of Driscoll captured at the second Valleyview motel is being released to the public in an effort to evoke a memory.
