The ongoing search for Michael Kitchener will see some increased activity this weekend, with the Prince Rupert detachment of the RCMP noting of the plan to bring additional trained search personnel to the area where the 21 year old was last seen one week ago.
The BC Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA) will be sending a large number of trained volunteers form all over northern BC to look for Michael Kitchener, who was last seen running on highway 16 on October 22nd, 2021, at 6:30 p.m.The Mounties note that Organized community searches are discouraged as they may hinder the work of BCSARA and can put other community members at risk.
With the weekend plans in place, the local detachment is asking the public not to interfere with the search by avoiding all recreational trails around the Prince Rupert area over the course of Saturday and Sunday, including Butze Rapids and Tall Trees.
Trails affected by the search will be closed to the public without advance notice.
