Search underway for mushroom picker missing for two weeks in northwestern B.C.
''A search was underway in northwestern B.C. on Tuesday for a mushroom picker not seen in almost two weeks.

Thomas Dominic Dennis was last seen by another mushroom picker around 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 16 near Price Creek Forest Service Road in Cedarvale, north of Terrace.

Dennis was not prepared to be out overnight, New Hazleton RCMP said, nor did he have any provisions such as food or winter clothing.

Investigators would like to speak to anyone who saw him on the day he disappeared.

He is described as Indigenous, 79 years old, wearing blue jeans, a black cap, black rubber boots and a grey-checked sweater.''

If he didn't have provisions to an over-night, why did it take 2 weeks to get this out? Especially at his age!

Thomas Price was last seen near Kitwanga, in northwestern B.C., on Sept. 16. He was wearing blue jeans, black cap, black rubber boots and a grey checked sweater. (Marilyn Morrison)
''RCMP say Price was last seen by a fellow mushroom picker, though they have reports he may have spoken to other people in the area, including a farmer.''


''Making matters worse, Morrison says her father was not familiar with the area he went missing in.

"I'd say he's a novice, probably a beginner [picker]," she said.''


In the meantime, Morrison is still going out every day with friends and family members, and she's hoping to gather a large group to sweep the area Wednesday morning — two weeks since her father was last seen.

She said she's hoping to find a hat or some other clue that might help determine her father's whereabouts before the winter sets in.

"It's getting pretty cold," she said. "I'm begging: Please help."

R.I.P. Mr Dennis.
Missing mushroom picker in northern B.C. found dead - Peace Arch News
''On Wednesday (Sept. 30), a group of community members were back out searching for Dennis when a drone near Price Creek spotted his body, which RCMP have since confirmed to be that of the senior.

“I’m just having a rough time,” Marilyn Morrison, Deniss’s daughter, told Black Press Media in a phone interview on Thursday.

No cause of death has been released, but police do not believe foul play was involved.''
