Rena Zacher can香蕉视频直播檛 find her 34-year-old son Cory Westcott.

The police can香蕉视频直播檛 locate him either, even though she says they have used ground crews, dogs, a helicopter and a dive team.

香蕉视频直播淭his is the worst nightmare I have ever experienced,香蕉视频直播� she told the Star on Thursday after her son had been missing for 24 days.

Westcott, who moved to Nelson from Vancouver last summer, went to visit a friend on Aug. 31. She says the friend has since told police that yes, Westcott was there, but he left the same night.

The morning of Sept. 1, Zacher, a rural Nelson resident, says she woke up worried about Westcott but didn香蕉视频直播檛 know why. She tried to contact him, but with no response.

Over the next few days, some of his friends told her they hadn香蕉视频直播檛 seen him since Aug. 31 and that he had been missing appointments. 香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 not like him,香蕉视频直播� his mother says.

Police found his truck, a grey 2007 Toyota Tundra crew cab pickup with the keys still in it, parked by the Kootenay Canal and sent a dive team out.

香蕉视频直播淎nd there was no sign of him there,香蕉视频直播� says Zacher. 香蕉视频直播淚n my heart, I don香蕉视频直播檛 think he is there.香蕉视频直播�

Zacher says she keeps asking questions and 香蕉视频直播淚 have found out more and more details every time I talk to people. And so I believe the truth will come out at some point. But I don香蕉视频直播檛 think my son ever was where his truck was.香蕉视频直播�

She is happy with the work of the police.

香蕉视频直播淭he police have been awesome. I have to say they香蕉视频直播檝e been just great.香蕉视频直播�

Westcott moved to Nelson to be closer to his mother and sister, and to get a fresh start in life, Zacher says.

香蕉视频直播淗e was trying to find his place here, find where he wanted to be. He attended church here. He had signed up for a church group just recently. He was very much a Christian. He couldn香蕉视频直播檛 eat unless he prayed and blessed his food. He was a strong believer in God.香蕉视频直播�

Westcott was doing odd jobs but otherwise had not found work in Nelson.

香蕉视频直播淗e actually wanted to find investors and and start a facility for drug users and addicts, because that was something very close to his heart. He just wanted to make a change in the world in that direction.香蕉视频直播�

She said her son had problems with drugs years ago.

香蕉视频直播淗e was doing really well now and he was healthy. He attended the gym every day. He had plans for his future.香蕉视频直播�

Zacher says she enjoyed her son香蕉视频直播檚 company.

香蕉视频直播淢y son is a character. He has a very good sense of humour. He likes to joke. But he also had a heart of gold. If he saw you down the street and you looked like you needed something, he香蕉视频直播檇 be the first one to offer you $5 if you needed it. He was very, very good-hearted.香蕉视频直播�

The police investigation is still open and Zacher is living with a mix of hope and dread.

香蕉视频直播淚 just want to find him. I don香蕉视频直播檛 really think that he香蕉视频直播檚 in this world any more. But I want to find out.香蕉视频直播�
