The family of Jonathan Young, 55, is reaching out to the public for help after he was reported missing on Aug. 2.
Mission RCMP describe Young as an Indigenous male, five feet eight inches tall, weighing 190 pounds. He has grey hair and brown eyes, according to a press release issued by the detachment.
Police said Young’s rental car was found on fire in the parking lot of the Junction Mall in Mission on the evening of Sunday July 30. Police have not determined whether the car was intentionally set on fire or if it is tied to his disappearance. The family said they had not seen him for several days leading up to when they reported him missing.
“All of Jonathan’s family is very concerned that he has been missing now for nearly two weeks. We have not heard from him and neither have his friends. He is missed and loved by his mother and his siblings, nieces and nephews. We pray that he is safe,” read a statement from his family.
“We ask anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts, or any information concerning what may have happened to Jonathan, to contact the RCMP immediately. The family is grateful for any assistance that you can provide.”
The family added that they are especially interested to hear from anyone with information related to the car fire. They suspect the fire occurred Sunday July 30 at around 11:30 pm in the Junction Mall parking lot between White Spot and the London Drugs.
“We’re hoping that someone knows where Jonathan is or has information that could help bring answers to his family,” said Corporal Harrison Mohr with Mission RCMP.
Mission RCMP has asked anyone who has seen him or has information that could help in the investigation to call 604-826-7161.
