The search for missing kayaker Timothy Ross has been suspended.
The 38-year-old Langford man went missing Sunday after failing to return from a kayak trip that started about noon. A search began about 7 p.m. using a Cormorant helicopter and a Buffalo aircraft.
A kayak believed to be his was found Wednesday near McMillan Road in Sooke, near where he is thought to have set out.
Vickie Weber, senior search-and-rescue manager for Juan de Fuca Search and Rescue, said searchers returned to the area near where the kayak was found and went over it again.
They also searched farther afield assuming the kayak had reached the area from the west, she said.
“If we find some other clue or some other evidence, we can reopen the case.”
It remains an active missing-person file for the Sooke RCMP.
