PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George RCMP is seeking the public’s help in furthering its investigation that started this past Saturday (March 21) on Highway 16 East.
At approximately 9:00 p.m. that night, police responded to a report of a person on the Yellowhead Highway Bridge who appeared to be straddling the guardrail. The person was described as possibly a woman, wearing an oversized white sweatshirt and a pink toque.
Police officers were in the area within minutes of the call being received and did not witness anyone nearby matching that description. The area was surveyed with the drone, and Prince George Search and Rescue was engaged to assist; a thorough search was conducted the next day using the RCMP helicopter, as well. However, the individual was not located.
“It is unclear if the pedestrian was picked up by a passing vehicle or if they went over the side of the bridge. We are asking for anyone who was driving through the area between 8:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. and has dash camera video that would have captured any pedestrians on or near the bridge, to call the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line. Any information to help advance this investigation would be appreciated,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
