A mother and her infant son are missing, according to the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP.
Mounties need the public’s help in locating 38-year-old Jacqueline Nelson and her three-month-old son Kane. They were reported missing on Jan. 24 but were last seen by family on Jan. 4.
“On Jan. 24, 2022, family received electronic communication but it has not been confirmed that it was directly from Jacqueline,” said a news release from the RCMP. “Police have reason to believe that Jacqueline may have been in Manitoba around Jan. 27, 2022. This has yet to be confirmed and it is not known if she is still there.”
Officers say they may be in a blue, 2006 Honda Civic, four-door sedan, with a B.C. licence plate of NE0 98G. The clear coat on the hood and roof is peeling. Nelson is described as being 115-pounds and standing 5-foot-3, with red hair and blue eyes.
Those with information about the pair are urged to call RCMP.
