After calling off the search for missing hiker Liang Jin this morning, police say they are resuming their efforts in trying to find the 21-year-old.
Crews have been combing through the Hanes Valley area both on the ground and in the air since Jin went missing. Jin, who also goes by the name Leon Joy, last made contact by text message with his father on the morning of Dec. 31 to say he was going hiking, but did not say where.

By browsing the history on his computer, it showed Jin was researching hikes/locations on the North Shore prior to going missing.
Police believe that Jin may have taken a bus from downtown Vancouver to the North Shore mountains, with specific interest in Lynn Headwaters and the Hanes Valley.
Jin is described as Asian, 5’6″ tall, with a slim build. It is believed he may be wearing a black Salomon brand backpack with white stripes on the straps.
He may have traveled by public transit as his bicycle was found by his family in the downtown apartment he lives in.
