COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) – Mounties are releasing new information about a missing 16-year-old Coquitlam boy.
Dominique Delagiraudais left home April 21st and hasn’t been seen since.
His mom, Marie, says he may have been stock-piling camping supplies in order to live off the land.
“We don’t know specifically where he could be. The reason the police are going at this is because of all the evidence.”
Anyone who might be camping or hiking in the woods is asked to keep their eyes open.
The RCMP interviewed friends and family, conducted neighborhood searches, and scoured the area around the house for clues amongst other things. Mounties also also checked hospitals, public transit, put up missing person posters, issued media releases on Coquitlam and BC RCMP’s websites and worked with police agencies throughout the Lower Mainland in an effort to find the teen.
There is a strong possibility that Dominique has ventured into the wilderness, most likely somewhere in the Greater Vancouver or Fraser Valley area. Investigators have also considered the possibility that Dominique may have travelled to the Okanagan or Alberta.
Dominic De Lagiraudais is described as a half-black, 6’2″ tall, 180 lbs, with short black hair and a light complexion.
He was last seen wearing a gray sweat pants, an unknown top and carrying a black pack.
Anyone with information about him, or his current whereabouts is asked to contact the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 quote file number 2013-10935.
