CANADA Ashley Bosma, 40, last seen Comox Lake, Cumberland BC 14-Oct-2025

[tarabull]

Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue, RCMP Air Services, Police Dog Services, and numerous frontline officers are all actively involved in the search. Their efforts will continue through the weekend and beyond — everyone will keep looking until Ashley is found.

Ashley was last known to be wearing pink leggings
and a grey sweater. Her hair is currently dyed brownish purple and blond. She has blue eyes and is approximately 5’4, 115 lbs. According to her family, the picture released of Ashley is a true likeness of what she looks like and was only taken within the last few weeks.

It is unusual for Ashley not to be in touch with her family and this has caused concern.

If you have any information about Ashley Bosma’s whereabouts, please contact Comox Valley RCMP at (250) 338-1321 and refer to file 2025-15816.

That's concerning!
It's not too far from residential areas.
Vehicle? Everything left in place?

Lots of trails in the area.

The park has 2 webcams that update every 5 minutes. One is of the main parking lot and the other is at the boat launch. I wonder how long they keep the images and if Ashley is seen on them. If so, was she by herself? Does she have a car? If so, where is it? If not, how did she get to the campground? Was she camping with anyone else at any point?

was she there to camp or hike?

was she there to camp or hike?

According to RCMP she was camping there. Of course we don't know what her attraction to the spot was. Was she a hiker? Was she a beach lover? They really haven't shared much. We don't know how she got there or whether she was with someone.
Did she have a vehicle? We'll have to wait for more info.

Where are you Ashley? We hope you are safe.

Just quoting myself after re-reading & snipping fwiw...
...“I survey basically our entire 185 acres, so if she was out here, in our area, I would have came across her. We’re a community, family you know whatever you wanna call it. We’re here,” said Shaw.

“A friend of ours, a family member actually went missing but never got found so, it’s a bit concerning to us,” said Graves.

Did they find her tent or anything? Who said she was camping, the campground is closed as of Sept. 30. Not a lot of information on her.
