A father and his seven-year-old daughter are still missing from the North Cowichan and Duncan area and now RCMP have released new photos of the pair and a new vehicle.
Jesse Bennett and his daughter were reported missing on Jan. 23 when the girl was not returned home to her mother’s custody as directed by the court.
Investigators no longer believe that Jesse and the girl are travelling in the Honda Civic and may be associated with a different vehicle, Sgt. Trevor Busch of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP said in a release. Investigators are now looking for a 2001 black Dodge Dakota Sport club cab with a white canopy.
It is unknown at this time what the licence plate of this truck may be.
The RCMP is also releasing a photo of the girl in a unique jacket that she wears often, according to RCMP, as well as a photo of Jesse’s tattoo on his right arm.
Investigators continue to follow up on each and every tip that relates to this investigation and ask anyone who may have information about Jesse or the girl’s whereabouts or sees his vehicle to call their local police or the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.
