RCMP in the Comox Valley are asking for the public’s help in finding a missing man.
76-year-old Wayne Jardine was last heard from on December 9, after contacting a family member around 5:45 p.m. saying his vehicle broke down around Cumberland Road and Royston Road in Courtenay.
According to the family member, he sounded disoriented and may have required medical attention and not likely dressed correctly for cold weather conditions.
A deeper investigation by the RCMP revealed Jardine has not been seen since the evening of December 8 and he is believed to have a dead cellphone.
Jardine drives a gray 2002 Kia Rio with a B.C. license plate SJ047D and is described as 5’7” tall, heavy set, and gray facial hair.
Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue teams are assisting the search, and anyone who has information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Comox Valley RCMP’s non-emergency line.
Additionally, if anyone can locate Jardine, RCMP ask you to remain with him or keep an eye on him until emergency services can arrive.
