Yes, sadly. May he rest in peace, one of the kindest people you'd ever meet. Thanks for posting earlier.

I’m sorry, Fox.

We have to cherish every moment with the ones we love, and admire the ones who bring us comfort in whatever way they do.

B.C. police drop surnames in missing person alerts to avoid 'negative lasting impact'

 

 

The Saanich Police Department recently moved to exclude surnames from public alerts requesting help finding missing people, in a bid to avoid causing them future harm.

Don't ask for my help if you won't give me the necessary information.

Ya, I don't know.

 

As the RCMP says, it won't help a business find someone that interacted.  But it also seems to me most missing are teen runaways then others with odd lives.  Plus sprinkle in some seniors with dementia etc.

In 1900 my great grandfather went missing in England. Thank goodness his entire name was reported as it allowed me to find all sorts of old newspaper articles online. Future family historians won't like losing that information. He was found in a totally different part of England suffering from influenza. I guess he hopped on a train while feeling ill.

Anyone remember how an age discrepancy resulted in a near nuclear armed conflict when that man went missing in Youbou?

Some people take missing people reports very seriously.

I'd love to help but without a last name, how can I be sure I am looking for the right person?

[FawltyVic]

I found out more about Sevina from Facebook then I did from a police blurb.I got her full name, previous schooling, job skills and even family nationality.
