The Cranbrook RCMP is asking the public for help in locating a missing Ontario resident last seen hiking in the Cranbrook area.

Celeste Franco was last in contact with family on July 20th, 2022 when she advised them that she and her partner, John Kimortakand, were hiking in the Cranbrook area, RCMP said in a press release.

The duo was travelling in a black Toyota 4-Runner with Ontario plates CTSZ548.

Celeste is described as:

20 years old

5’6” in height;

110 lbs;

Brown medium length straight hair;

Brown eyes

“We are just looking to confirm that Celeste is safe. If you know of her whereabouts or see the vehicle, we ask that you call the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471,” said Constable Katie Forgeron.

It is unclear whether Kimortakand is also missing and RCMP have been reached for clarification.

UPDATE: Missing Ontario woman located safely

UPDATE: Cranbrook RCMP reports that as of 9p.m. on Wednesday, Aug 17, Celeste Franco has been located.

This is worrisome, missing for almost a month already. When was the return date?

Is Celeste an experienced hiker? Is it normal for her to not get in contact for a week or two at a time? I wonder who reported her missing and when? Is John her hiking partner or are they dating?
