“We are looking for any piece of information, no matter how small it may seem, that will help us locate Wes,” said Cpl. Matt Holst of the Major Crime Unit. “We are confident that someone will be able to offer information which will assist us in putting together the pieces of this puzzle.”

Edwards is described as five-foot-nine and about 145 pounds with blond/grey hair and blue eyes.

Police ask anyone with information to call Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or go online to comoxvalleycrimestoppers.bc.ca.
