Where the heck is Owen???
GP RCMP continue search for missing Australian man. A missing Australian man is still believed to be in the Grande Prairie area.
Grande Prairie RCMP say they are still trying to locate Owen Rooney who went missing from a hospital in Grand Forks, B.C. on Aug. 14. http://www.energeticcity.ca/fortstjohn/news/12/16/10/gp-rcmp-continue-search-missing-australian-man

From luckyducky's link.
"He also has a distinct Australian accent which police say they believe people might confuse with a British accent."

I hope that does not confuse any one further, as a British accent could mean a person sounds either Scottish,Irish,Welsh and in this case, I believe they intended it to mean an English sounding, accent.

I see what you mean dotr :( I also noticed that in luckyduck's link they mention "wind chimes" (originally it was said dreamcatchers, then suncatchers, now wind chimes).
The 24 year-old had gone missing from the Grand Forks hospital and is believed to be with a group selling wind chimes.

I remember reading not long ago an article regarding wind chimes and British accent, though not in relation to Owen, which IMO will add to the confusion. Will go try find that article.

Complaints of shady business dealings arise
daily Herald-Tribune
Grand Praire, Alberta - Posted 7 days ago

The Grande Prairie RCMP has received several complaints regarding two possibly shady business operations.

One involves a door-to-door salesman and the other involves merchandise being sold out of the back of a van. Neither had proper city-issued business licences.

Police received word of a British man knocking on doors last Friday and Saturday, trying to sell dream-catchers and wind chimes.

"We're not sure (what is going on here)," said RCMP Cpl. Carol McKinley. "The detachment was contacted with concerns that he might be a suspicious individual."

Aside from a British accent, the man is described as being in his early-mid 20s, 6'0", well dressed and clean-cut, with an average build and black hair.

Police are taking interest in him because of a request from police in Grand Forks, B.C.

Thanks for the link Hazel, now things are really getting strange, I wonder what (and who) is behind all this....?
 
It's difficult to follow the info in the recent articles. Sightings started on Vancouver Island. Then an article Dec 13 says that Grande Prairie LE ruled him out there, yet a subsequent article Dec 16 says that Grande Prairie LE in Alberta are investigating, but that the majority of sightings have been in Cranbrook and Kimberley, BC !! Anyone else as confused as I am?
 
I also posted this in the Mariam M thread.

We’ve all read their stories.

There’s Ani Ashekian, Mariam Makhniashvili, Nicole Vienneau, Poonam Litt, Christina Calayca… and many more. Ordinary people, like you and me, who have vanished without a trace, without any definitive answers.

Some have been missing for a few months, others for a few years; some have gone missing from their homes, others while they were travelling abroad. But there’s one thing common in such cases: Their families haven’t given up.
 
I just made a donation to Owen's for their search for their son. I challenge all Canadians to do the same. This family must be going through hell and the costs have got to be devastating for them as well.
 
This news is 2 days old, posted on radio site, so they might have gotten help already, IDK, will see if there is mention of this in the FB page.

Okotoks ??? Again ?

Rooney family solved their transportation problem.
While checking the FB group, I just read about a sighting of Owen around Dec. 21st. at a Vet Clinic, selling dreamcatchers in Okotoks!!!! Lady says she called Crime Stoppers to let them know, after she saw his pic in the news.
