Search for small plane missing in southern B.C. will resume Wednesday
VICTORIA — Searchers say they’re still looking for new clues three days after a small plane with two people on board vanished in southeastern British Columbia.
Lt. Melissa Kia with the Victoria Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre says rescuers scored an area about 18 kilometres north of Revelstoke again on Tuesday with aircraft and ground crews, including search dogs.
She says the searchers saw no signs of the aircraft before shutting down the search for the night on Tuesday.
The rescue centre’s spokeswoman, Katelyn Moores, says the search grid has been refined based on more complete information from radar and the cellphone tower that picked up a signal from the pilot’s phone at about the same time the plane was reported missing on Saturday.
