The family of a missing Dawson Creek teen held a yard sale Saturday to raise money for a reward they hope will lead them to information on his whereabouts.

Denny Poole was last seen on March 12 when he and a friend tried to travel on foot from Dawson Creek to Fort St. John.

“They decided to go for a jog because they met a girl on Facebook and they wanted to go and meet her,” sister Alisha Poole said. “They ended up getting lost around the Kiskatinaw [Bridge] and the Old Alaska Highway and got all turned around.”

Poole and his friend got into an argument and decided to part ways. The friend made it home but Poole hasn’t been heard from since.

Police say they don’t believe foul play was involved in the 15-year-old’s disappearance.
