Ground and air search and rescue teams searched for Wells in the days immediately following his disappearance but were unsuccessful. A checkpoint search was also conducted.

“Our hope is that we can find some evidence that helps provide Tim’s family with some information about what happened to him,” said Staff-Sgt. Cory Bushell in a statement

“We would like to thank everyone who has come forward to offer tips and information about Tim.”

Less than a week after Wells disappeared, the RCMP received a tip that Wells may have been picked up by two people in a blue GMC four-door, four-wheel-drive pickup truck near Forest Heights Community School.
