Police nearly ran out of evidence bags during a six-hour search effort on Bowen Island today, but there's no telling yet whether any of the items recovered are connected to last summer's disappearance of teenager Jodi Henrickson.
Local resident Ily Allen said she believes the entire Bowen community has been touched deeply by the Henricksons' story, which is why she felt obliged to help with the search effort.
"I think it's important that we do everything we possibly can," said Allen. "As a mother, I can't imagine having a child go missing like that. The family needs closure."
Fellow volunteer Peter Matthews echoed Allen's sentiments.
"Our community needs to show support for their family in this terrible time," said Matthews.
