Saik’uz First Nation members Chelsey Quaw (Heron) and Jay Preston Raphael remain missing, but the community hope to raise awareness and support for their search.
Saik’uz First Nation and Carrier Sekani Child and Family Services hosted a press conference in Vanderhoof on Friday, calling for more action to find Chelsey Quaw and Jay Preston Raphael, missing members of their community.
“In both of these cases, their disappearance is out of character and cause for concern,” Mueller added, noting North Nechako Valley Search and Rescue aided in a recent search, speaking highly of the group’s assistance. “I feel like there’s only so much the local RCMP can do in the search, I feel like we need more support higher than just the local RCMP,” said Mueller, noting band council members met with the B.C. Solicitor General this week in Vancouver to request assistance.
“If you have seen or heard anything, anything at all, please contact the RCMP. Please help bring our children home,” said Pam Heron, Chelsey’s mother.
