The search for a missing Hixon youth came to a happy ending.
Prince George and Quesnel Search and Rescue received a report of a missing autistic youth in the Hixon area on Saturday.
The youth eventually returned home, with no shoes or socks, and ‘soaking wet,’ according to Bob Zimmerman, President of Quesnel Search and Rescue.
“We had a mutual aid request from Prince George Search and Rescue through the Emergency Management BC. They had been out searching themselves and they needed some assistance to take over for the next day if required,” said Zimmerman.
“We went up there Saturday evening to get a bit of a lay of how the operation was, and we had three trackers in with our group and those three trackers, actually at the end of the evening, found some sign of where the person had walked.”
The search was called off Sunday after the person was located safe.
