Police asking public’s assistance in locating lost hiker in Sumas Mountain Park

The Abbotsford Police are asking the public’s assistance in locating missing hiker, Mr. David Harper (60 years old), last seen in Sumas Mountain Park heading to the cellular tower trail yesterday afternoon at 1 pm.  Mr. Harper was hiking with his wife; but they separated when he decided to hike further, and she went back to their vehicle.

The Abbotsford Police are concerned that Mr. Harper may not be prepared for the cold, rainy weather and rough terrain of Sumas Mountain.

Abbotsford Police Patrol Officers and Search and Rescue Teams will continue to search for Mr. Harper today in Sumas Mountain Park.

We are asking residents and hikers in Sumas Mountain Park to please be on the lookout for Mr. David Harper who is with his large breed Cane Corso dog, Bella, and wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Mr. Harper requires medication, and his family is very concerned about his well-being.

If you locate Mr. Harper or know of his whereabouts, please contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225 or text APD at 222973 (abbypd).
