Kelowna RCMP say they are still working to locate a Kelowna senior who has been missing since last week.

Gordon Solloway left his residence last Thursday at approximately 7:30 a.m., according to police, and was reportedly headed for the James Lake area east of Kelowna. The 74-year-old was supposed to return home within a few hours, but police say he has not been heard from since.

Solloway was last seen filling up his grey 2012 Dodge Ram in the 6900 block of Goudie Road in Kelowna just after 7:30 a.m., according to police.

On Tuesday, police announced they were suspending search-and-rescue efforts. On Wednesday, however, police said the file into Solloway’s disappearance is still open.

“Currently, investigators are working to advance this investigation and do not believe that Mr. Solloway has met with foul play.”
