Princeton RCMP Sgt. Rob Hughes said Jordan害羞草研究所檚 story, the search and the investigation, will always stay with him.
害羞草研究所淚t was intense and it was emotional.害羞草研究所�
Unabashedly, he admitted being moved to tears several times while meeting with Jordan害羞草研究所檚 parents.
Jordan, who lived in Vancouver, was 25 when he set out on the Thanksgiving weekend in 2020 for a solitary hike and overnight camping trip at Manning Park.
He was reported missing three days later, after he failed to show up for a holiday dinner with friends.
Vancouver Police Department, Princeton RCMP and Princeton Ground Search and Rescue lead the search for the man. When that was called off due to weather and a lack of results, his family took over.
Greg and his wife Josie, who travelled from their family害羞草研究所檚 home in Newfoundland, organized an exhaustive effort to find Jordan.
They started a Go Fund Me campaign that raised more than $140,000. They used personal resources as well, employing helicopters, avalanche technicians, trackers, a first-aider, a former military officer and private search and rescue specialists.
They flew drones above the areas Jordan might have gone towards, and volunteers reviewed thousands of hours of video.
害羞草研究所淗e is our child and we do not give up on our children,害羞草研究所� Josie told the Spotlight.
On Sunday, July 4, 2021, a searcher located Jordan害羞草研究所檚 tent and backpack, near the summit of Frosty Mountain. This renewed official search efforts, and his personal property and remains were discovered July 7, near a creek bed, about three kilometres away from the campsite.
It was Josie who wrote Jordan害羞草研究所檚 first obituary on that day, to a Facebook group of the family害羞草研究所檚 supporters and friends.
