New clues help the quest for answers about Melissa McDevitt’s disappearance

The 39-year-old has been missing since Dec. 9 after she embarked on a hike at Sea to Sea park in Sooke

By Tori Marlan, Jul 4, 2023

 

Melissa McDevitt out on a hike with her dad Tom. 

Security camera footage captured Melissa McDevitt walking toward the Sea to Sea Regional Park in Sooke on Dec. 9 at 1:58 pm. She wore a maroon jacket, dark pants, and an olive knit hat. In her left hand, she held chrome hiking poles. Her arms swung lightly; her gait was steady. She took a few steps, then briefly disappeared behind a tree. After emerging, she took 38 more steps, then disappeared again, this time for good.

Six months later, not far from Melissa’s last known whereabouts, her father, Tom, stands on a stranger’s porch, knocking lightly on the front door. The woman who opens it looks warily at him, a tall man with a bushy white mustache and baseball cap, holding a red folder. Her face softens when he hands her a flyer about his missing 39-year-old daughter.

“It's just reminding people that Melissa is still out there,” he tells her. “We’re just making neighbours aware that if they happen to be hiking in there, or have people visiting, just please pass on about her circumstance—and, of course, this tells you the contact information.”

Search for hiker missing for 7 months on Vancouver Island will resume this weekend

 

Story by Amy Judd

 

RCMP on Vancouver Island have announced the renewal of search efforts near Sooke, B.C., for a woman who's been missing since late last year.

Melissa McDevitt was reported missing to the Victoria Police Department on Dec. 10, 2022. Her vehicle was found at the Charters River/Hatchery parking lot on Sooke River Road in Sooke later that day.

Sooke RCMP said McDevitt's case has continued to be an active missing persons investigation and officers have remained in contact with her family.

Nearly seven months after their daughter’s disappearance, parents Tom and Maggie McDevitt reported in June a “monumental shift” in efforts to find her, including confirmation of her recent hiking routes.

Sooke RCMP said Thursday that the Juan de Fuca Search and Rescue Team will re-deploy to a concentrated and refined area of interest that was searched in December.

Search and Rescue efforts are planned to begin again on July 8.

Tom and Maggie moved from North Carolina to Vancouver Island in May to continue searching for McDevitt with a growing community of residents — skilled hikers in the Greater Victoria area — who regularly scour the trails to find their daughter. Their collaboration has now led to a breakthrough, Tom said.

More from the RCMP:

Juan de Fuca SAR were supported by a number of other Search and Rescue (SAR) agencies from across the region and by the Sooke RCMP after new information was discovered related to missing person Melissa McDevitt leading the RCMP to request a re-search of a refined and concentrated area.

“We would like to acknowledge the significant efforts of Juan de Fuca Search and Rescue and all other assisting SAR agencies during this search period, particularly through challenging terrain during very warm weekend weather. The RCMP will continue to investigate Melissa’s disappearance in pursuit of answers for the McDevitt family", said Sergeant Kevin Shaw or Sooke RCMP.
