Missing person located deceased after two-day search

The Prince George RCMP say a missing person has been located deceased.

According to police, the person was reported missing on Saturday, and was last seen near a residence on the 16700 block of East Perry Road.

They say it was unknown when they had left the residence or their exact destination.

“Police officers quickly determined that Prince George Search and Rescue would be a valuable partner in this investigation,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.

“After two days of searching with police officers, Search and Rescue volunteers, and a police dog services team, the person was located deceased on February 8, a short distance from the residence.”

Cooper says foul play is not suspected in this case.

The RCMP’s Victim Services unit has been engaged to work with the friends and family of the deceased.

The investigation is now with the B.C. Coroners Service, and police will not be providing any further information.
