The family of a woman who has been missing since her plane vanished in late November believes they have a photo that could hold a clue to her location.

Pilot Dominic Neron, 28, and his girlfriend Ashley Bourgeault, 31, have been missing since their plane disappeared near Revelstoke.

Bourgeault’s family has renewed hope that the aircraft might be found after they discovered a drone photo that appears to show the word “help” or “here” spelled out, Bourgeault’s cousin Carol Barnes said.

“They do need closure one way or the other, so that’s pretty well what everybody’s looking for right now, just closure. There’s three little kids who need closure. There’s her mom and dad and Dominic’s family,” Barnes said.

RCMP confirmed they have received the photo and are following up.

Mounties continue to search the area when their helicopter is available, Revelstoke RCMP Staff Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky said, adding that they had searched the area in question in the past.
