Search and Rescue crews from the Cowichan, Juan de Fuca and Salt Spring Island areas assisted the Nanaimo Serious Crime Unit this weekend with an ongoing missing person investigation.
On Saturday morning at 9:00am, approximately 45 search team members conducted a ground search in an area on Mount Sicker. The extensive search was coordinated by the Nanaimo RCMP, who are looking into the disappearance of a Nanaimo man, 30 year old Patrick Neil COTTRELL.
COTTRELL is a paraplegic and was confined to a wheelchair. He was known to the Nanaimo RCMP, and was involved in the local drug trade. He has not been seen since November 2005.
The possibility exists that foul play is involved in COTTRELL’s disappearance. Police conducted the search on Saturday in an attempt to further the investigation.
The Nanaimo RCMP is appealing to the public for information in this case. Anyone who can provide information about COTTRELL’s disappearance is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP Serious Crimes Unit or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
