The Ladysmith RCMP is seeking public assistance to locate 13-year-old Payton MacDonald who was reported missing on March 17, 2022.

On March 16, 2022 Ladysmith RCMP received a request from the Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD) to check on the well-being of Payton who is residing on a sailboat with her father in Ladysmith.

MCFD had a Family Court Order which directed Payton’s father to immediately disclose her whereabouts. Unfortunately, Payton’s father was not cooperative and was subsequently arrested and held in custody for disobeying a court order after he failed to disclose her location to MCFD workers.

Payton was last seen on the morning of Tuesday, March 15, 2022, with her father entering his van at the foot of Harbour View Road in Ladysmith.

“To date, police and family have not been able to make contact with Payton. She does not have a phone or have access to social media,” states S/Sgt. Wes Olsen of the Ladysmith RCMP. “We want to ensure that she is safe and well”.

Payton is described as follow:
Caucasian
168 cm (5’6’’)
130 lbs (59 kg)
Brown eyes
Brown hair

If you have information about Payton’s whereabouts you are asked to contact the police in your jurisdiction, or the Ladysmith RCMP at 250-245-2215.

A conspiracy theorist it would appear.

To the nth degree.

I'm following this one; it's weird. They don't name him, do they? I have read comments, but clearly dad is using a fake name

 

[Lusitana]

Where would he even take her? Does he have friends? Family?

Mounties plead for return of missing B.C. girl whose father refuses to disclose her location


Payton's father, who has not been named by police, has sole custody of his daughter and her mother "is not in the picture," said Staff-Sgt. Darrell Sandback of the Vancouver Island RCMP's general investigation section.

Sandback added that investigators "are not aware of any siblings" and "are not aware of any other adults" who are close to Payton.

• anyone who knows the whereabouts of missing Ladysmith teen Payton MacDonald to come forward
• believed Payton is with someone who knows her father,
• dispelled rumours ...that Payton was safe and just on spring break.
• not saying whether they believe Payton is being held against her will. ...have received and are assessing a video ... of someone purporting to be Payton, saying that she was safe and wanted to be left alone.

Her father was subsequently arrested and released after a bail hearing on March 18. He was again arrested on March 23 for continuing to disobey the court order and he remains in police custody where investigators say he is refusing to cooperate with efforts to locate his daughter.

Why won't he let them know where to find Payton?

 

[Lusitana]

Wait a second, does anyone know Payton? Is there any family around? Who eve reported her missing/requested a wellness check? Was she already under CPS' radar and, when they couldn't reach for however long, they went ahead and contacted LE?

Does Payton go to school or is she being homeschooled?

 

[kritafo]

I keep looking for posts but I don't see anything

 

[LadyL]

why haven't they named the father??

Very weird stuff. The video is included in the included news vid.

On Tuesday, CHEK News received an email containing a video message from a girl calling herself Payton MacDonald who matches the missing teen’s description. RCMP investigators tell CHEK News they believe it is the teen.

“Hi my name is Payton MacDonald and the date is March 29th 2022,” begins the video.

“The allegations about my Dad are not true. I’m not a missing person. I’ve seen the reports and it pains me to understand what he must be going through,” she is recorded saying

I wonder if her father got gotten Payton worried that she would be removed from his custody due to schooling issues/custody dispute/safety issues related to living on a boat, so she agreed to hide out with an acquaintance to avoid being potentially separated. Of course, it doesn't work out like that...

 

[kritafo]

there's a video from last night from the friend who is suppose to have her in Burnaby I honestly can't remember if I'm allowed topost twitter links but it's from a Global BC reporter

I was wondering why the friend's were talking.

Payton had probably been located at their address before they did the video.
