Lake Cowichan RCMP is asking for assistance in locating a man who hasn’t been seen for eight months and was only reported missing this week.
Michael Hounsell, 49, was last seen in February, said police. His vehicle was recently located an hour from Bamfield on a logging road.
Hounsell is known for spending time in the wilderness and it’s not unusual for him to be out of contact with his family, RCMP said in a statement.
He is described at five-foot-seven and about 140 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.
Police are concerned for his health and well-being.
Anyone with information on Hounsell’s whereabouts is urged to contact their local police department or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
