Update, 12:15pm: 

McKimmon has been found safe and sound.

Original story:

The Prince George RCMP and Prince George Search and Rescue Society are both searching for 21-year-old Joshua McKimmon.

According to police, McKimmon left his residence in Giscome (45 kilometers northeast of PG) and has not been seen since.

He has special needs and requires daily medication, the RCMP says “Although he is 21 years old, he has the intellect of a 14-year-old, speaks quickly and mumbles. In addition, he recently moved to the area, does not know his way around, and there is no indication of where Joshua may have gone or when he left.”

Search and Rescue started looking for him in the Giscome / Willow River area at first light this morning (Saturday).

He is described as:

– Caucasian male
– 193 cm (6’4”) tall
– Short dark brown hair with a goatee

Anyone who sees Joshua is being asked to call 9-1-1 right away, and anyone with information or an idea on where he might be is being directed to the non-emergency line at 250-561-3300.
