Two teens whose disappearance sparked a search on Quadra Island in February are missing again.

 

Campbell River RCMP are asking the public’s help in finding Dommie Malcolmson, 16, and Cora Potoski, 17, who were last seen Thursday.

 

The two left the Campbell River area early Thursday driving a 2009 white four-door Honda Civic with B.C. licence plate TL5 18M, heading north on Highway 19.

 

The teens may have stopped in Sayward and were believed to be heading toward Woss and Port McNeill, said RCMP.

 

Police are concerned for both teens’ well being.

And these are the people to whom the right to vote should be extended?

Police say a man and a woman from British Columbia were found dead in a boat that washed ashore on Nova Scotia's Sable Island on Wednesday, about 300 kilometres southeast of Halifax.

 

An RCMP news release says Parks Canada contacted police around 3:15 p.m. Wednesday after a three-metre-long inflatable boat washed ashore on the island with two deceased people on board.

 

Police say they think the boat is a lifeboat from a larger vessel named Theros.

 

The release says the bodies are believed to be a 60-year-old woman and a 70-year-old man from B.C. who were reported missing on June 18 to the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Halifax, which runs search-and-rescue efforts in Eastern Canada.

 

Police say the pair left the harbour in Halifax on June 11, en route to the Azores archipelago in Portugal.

No name? Why even write the story if you are going to be so short on details. Or make us look it up and put the pieces together?


Media: “Support local journalism!”

Media: “ Facebook and Twitter and Google are stealing our revenue! “

The public: must go to Google and Facebook and Twitter for details on this story.

And her name, lest the hyperlinks become inactive in the future, is Jacqueline Neuwirth. May she rest in peace.

[Victoria Watcher]

It’s like the TC writer had to go out of his way to put out all the details he did, while not mentioning her name. So odd.

[Nparker]

It really is odd.

[Victoria Watcher]

And if the RCMP said “hey media, let’s keep the name off the reports”, I’d respectfully say, “no”.
