Darpan News Desk Vancouver Police, 07 Oct, 2020 09:29 PM

Vancouver Police have located a vehicle belonging to Darcy Wild, who was reported missing on September 24, and are asking the public for additional information about his whereabouts. “We’re hoping that this new information may trigger someone’s memory,” said Constable Tania Visintin, VPD.

Darcy Wild’s 2015 black Lexus RX350 with BC license plate JS3 50P was located in the Powerhouse Springs Road area of Squamish. Mr. Wild is white, 5’10” tall, and has a slim build. He has greyish, blonde, short hair and was last seen wearing a black zip-up rain jacket with a grey shirt underneath, blue jeans, black boots, and a red face mask. This disappearance is out of character for Mr. Wild.

Police and his family are concerned for his well-being. Anyone who sees Darcy Wild, or was in the Powerhouse Springs Road area of Squamish and has information, is asked to call 9-1-1.
