The search for Daniel Reoch is continuing with efforts from the Âé¶¹Éç¹ú²úRCMP and Âé¶¹Éç¹ú²úSearch and Rescue.

Reoch is a 29-year-old Indigenous man. He is 5'9, 150 lbs. and has short brown hair and brown eyes. A family member contacted the RCMP on Jan. 7, after he had not been heard from since before Christmas. His family said this is unusual for Reoch.

"Our Lewis family, the Âé¶¹Éç¹ú²úNation and the community as a whole are extremely concerned as to the whereabouts of Daniel Reoch. It is extremely out of character for him not to check in with family, friends, or his children," Deanna Lewis, a family member, and Âé¶¹Éç¹ú²úNation representative, said in the

Later that day, his vehicle was reported abandoned and has since been seized by Âé¶¹Éç¹ú²úRCMP.

After the RCMP were unable to locate Reoch during wellbeing checks, they have been following leads and working with Âé¶¹Éç¹ú²úNation, Integrated First Nations Unit, BC Police Missing Persons Centre and Âé¶¹Éç¹ú²úSAR. The police have conducted searches of the Âé¶¹Éç¹ú²úValley and Paradise Valley area with the help of SAR.
