It's been more than a week since the family of Lumby's Trent Dorais has heard from their son and brother.
The family has reached out via social media for any information on Dorais, 33, who was last seen near the village on Thursday, March 20, leaving a friend's house on Mabel Lake Road in the Sigalet area. No one, said the family, has heard from or seen him since.
"He drives a black Ford Escape, mid-2000s, with rust around the fenders, and he left his home without any of his belongings," wrote the family.
The vehicle's licence plate number is PF348M.
There has been a missing persons report filed with the RCMP 香蕉视频直播� File No. NR25-1454.
"The RCMP are involved," said the family. "The police have tried to ping his phone unsuccessfully as it has been dead for too long now."
The RCMP have confirmed they are investigating a missing person with that name.
One family member posted that Dorais "suffers severely from depression at times and has been in a low as of late," and believes the missing man may have ventured up a forestry road in the Lumby or Cherryville area.
