The friend of a missing senior who was last seen leaving a Jasper bed and breakfast is starting to believe the worst has happened.
“It’s really hard for all of us,” Jenny John, of Kamloops, said Monday.
May Milling, 81, was reported missing Wednesday after she left Jasper in her blue 2009 Buick Lucerne to visit John in Kamloops. She never arrived.
RCMP spent days searching the Yellowhead Highway by ground and air, to no avail. John said police even checked at hotels between Jasper and Kamloops but no one has seen Milling.
“There’s nothing. Nothing,” she said, adding police have promised to check the route again.
“She had food with her, and water, but she would have had to stop for a bathroom break somewhere.”
John has two scenarios about what might have happened to her friend. She said Milling might have swerved to avoid an animal on the road and ended up in a ditch or suffered a heart attack.
She said Milling, who lives in Gibsons, has a heart condition and requires medication, but had enough for the duration of her trip.
Milling left Gibsons Aug. 26 and headed to Grand Forks, Radium, Banff and then on to Jasper. It’s a journey she makes annually.
