There are no shortage of wilderness areas on Vancouver Island! You don't have to go very far to be "remote". The "Lakes" area of Nanaimo was mentioned by some people on FB regarding searches over the past couple of days. Now RCMP are searching there. Is there any connection to that specific area by either Makayla or SB? Where is Makayla's grandmother's house? I know she lives in a trailer park, but where specifically is it? Is it near the dam?
If any locals could provide some context about the area that would be helpful. Can people camp at Colliery Dam Park, or is it just for day visits?
Just a tiny bit south of the dam/lakes, I noticed on the map that there is a spot called "The Abyss". It has a symbol of hikers. What is this area?
Another question for locals....are there CCTV cameras filming the ferries in and out of Nanaimo? If they were going to Vancouver, they would have to take a ferry. They could have driven further down the island and taken it from another spot, but I presume that RCMP would be all over that.
Speaking of driving, does SB have a vehicle? I noticed that Makayla's aunt said on FB that her car was stolen a few days ago. I also see another post of hers that her RV trailer was stolen as well. I can't imagine that these were separate incidents. The trailer is quite large and obvious, so I'm not sure it would be easy to "hide" it to stay off the grid, but perhaps Makayla had access to her aunt's keys?
