Search to resume for 65-year-old hiker on the North Shore mountains

By

VANCOUVER – An air and ground search yesterday found no trace of a hiker missing on the mountains of the North Shore but rescuers expected to be back on the trails this morning, looking for any clues.

Police in West Vancouver say 65-year-old Debbie Blair became separated from her hiking group around midday, yesterday.

She was last seen near Donut Rock Trail junction on the Cypress Mountain trail leading toward Eagle bluffs.

Searchers are concerned because temperatures hovered not far above freezing early this morning.

They say Blair was not prepared to spend the night outdoors and did not have a coat.

She is hard of hearing and is believed to be suffering from Alzheimer’s, so searchers are frantically trying to find her.
