The search for an 83-year-old North Okanagan recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s has intensified.
The Mounties and Search and Rescue crews are asking for the public’s assistance in locating Robert Lee Baines.
Baines was last seen at his residence on Ponderosa Way in Coldstream early in the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 2 and has not been heard from since. A search has been ongoing for days, RCMP said.
Despite all efforts that have been undertaken, including an extensive ground search of Kalamalka Park that included RCMP and Vernon Search and Rescue resources, Mr. Baines has not been located,
Const. Chris Terleski said.
We are now asking residents in the area of Ponderosa Way and the red and yellow gate areas of Kalamalka Park to review home security footage if they have it and thoroughly check their properties for any sings of Mr. Baines. Look under porches, under and inside all bushes, hedges etc., and check any outbuildings such as sheds or garages, as well as boats and recreational vehicles.
