Mother of a missing Victoria man continues search despite dead ends

Wanda Anderson has been working to find her son, Jayson Anderson, since he disappeared in July 2022

Feb. 2, 2023 

One mother is on the search for her son who went missing over six months ago from Victoria.

 

Jayson Anderson went missing after having a procedure at Royal Jubilee Hospital in July of last year. His mother, Wanda Anderson, has been searching for him ever since.

Wanda said her son has been homeless in Victoria for about 10 years and frequently stayed at Rock Bay Landing Shelter. He stayed there one night following his procedure, but hasn’t been heard from since.

He was last seen July 15, 2022.

She said he was popular at the shelter because he did the landscaping for the backyard. The shelter told her they msis his green thumb, but were unable to give her any more information.

Jayson would sometimes become paranoid and had a tendency to go on rants, which would often result in his being asked to leave the shelter.

When that happened, Jayson would often sleep in a tent in Beacon Hill Park.
