Original story
There’s a Revlelstoke connection to a missing persons case unfolding in Barriere, B.C.
A family has been missing since Saturday after they went for a mountain bike trip, police say.
A Revelstoke friend of the family, Dlaine Ginn, posted on social media on Monday, asking people to share and provide any information to the Barriere RCMP.
Her friend Angie Clarke lives in the town 45 minutes north of Kamloops. Clarke and her three children headed out to the East Barriere Lake area on Saturday and were expected back by the afternoon, but Ginn said they haven’t been heard from and their car (a black 2011 Infinity QX56) hasn’t been found.
“My husband is on the road already to help with the the search efforts,” Ginn told the Mountaineer.
Angie Clarke’s husband Ryan Clarke first called for help on social media. He is in Papa New Guinea and won’t be able to be back home until Wednesday.
“They’ve been missing 48 hours now in the back woods,” Ginn wrote on social media. “Please, let me know if you can help in any way. These are amazing people, they need your prayers right now.”
Barriere RCMP have confirmed the reports and are currently searching for the family. Call that local RCMP detachment at 250-672-9918 with any information.
