Police in British Columbia are searching for a St. Albert man, days after his boat was found unoccupied on Okanagan Lake Tuesday night.
On Tuesday, August 26, just after 9:15 p.m., West Kelowna RCMP received reports of a collision between watercraft on Okanagan Lake.
RCMP said a local couple had been operating their boat in the middle of the lake, near Kalmoir Regional Park, when their craft hit an unoccupied boat. It’s believed the craft did not have lights on, and appeared to be adrift.
When officers examined the boat, they found some personal items belonging to Brian Daryl Lakevold, 64, of St. Albert, and investigators have since confirmed that Lakevold is missing.
Investigators are asking for help working out a timeline of Lakevold’s whereabouts Tuesday afternoon – and would like to speak with anyone who may have seen him, or his maroon and white Malibu LXI after 2:30 p.m. that day, up until the boat was found.
Anyone with information is asked to contact West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880, or to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
