LYTTON, B.C. —  A Lytton family isn’t giving up hope in the search for relative Duane Alvin Aleck.

He’s been missing since he headed out on a fishing trip June 18 in the Fraser Canyon.

Earlier this week, the RCMP sent out a news release saying he was “presumed drowned,” but the family isn’t buying it.

In fact, they’ve issued a plea on Facebook requesting the assistance of fishermen or anyone else who can help find Aleck.

The family says he went in the Fraser River below Kumsheen Secondary School and was last seen floating in an orange life preserver.
