Police say Christopher Sanford was last seen in Nakusp on Aug. 4 before travelling west to the Okanagan.

The 36-year-old’s vehicle was found abandoned the next day in Fauquier, a community south of Naksup on the east side of Upper Arrow Lake.

“Extensive search in the area his vehicle was located has not been successful in locating him,” Nakusp RCMP said in a news release Thursday.

Police said Sanford’s family has not heard from him since Aug. 4, “which is very unusual.” The family is also “very concerned for his health and wellbeing.”
