Search for missing Pemberton man Graeme Ferguson continues
The search for missing Pemberton man Graeme Alexander Ferguson continues, according to the Whistler RCMP. The 49-year-old Scottish man was last seen at 1:30 p.m. on April 1 at the Gateway Bus Loop in Whistler Village. He was reported missing April 14.
Katrina Boehmer with Sea to Sky RCMP's Whistler detachment was unable to share further details about the ongoing case aside from confirming the search is ongoing.
Ferguson's personal belongings were found in a bag between Whistler's Day Lot 1 and Lot 2. Someone found the belongings and posted them to the Whistler Winter group, sparking serious concern for the man’s well-being. Ferguson hasn’t been active on social media since April 1, according to friends.
Ferguson is described as Caucasian, bald, with blue eyes. He is 5-10 (178 centimetres) in height, and weighs 175 lbs (79 kilograms).
He was last seen wearing a black vest, a plaid brown and orange shirt, black snow pants and hiking boots.
A friend of Ferguson’s confirmed to Pique RCMP officers have contacted Scotland to gain access to his social media accounts and email address. They urged the public to help in any way they can. “I was hoping the public could be asked to check any video or photos they took in Whistler that day up into the evening,” said his friend. “Anything might help to see where he went, what direction.”
Ferguson has lived in Pemberton for three years. Concerned friends told Pique he was supposed to take a bus to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal on his way to Victoria, but they don’t believe he ever did. They noted he was given a ride from Pemberton to Whistler in order to catch the bus.
The concern heightened when his personal belongings were found, including his passport, ID and credit card. The items were turned into the RCMP.
“We just want him to get his things back and him to be safe,” a friend told Pique. “We love him.”
