Search for 3 missing people from Dawson Creek gets national attention with warning for those involved

DAWSON CREEK -- The families of three missing people in Dawson Creek have teamed up with an Ontario-based non-profit organization in an effort to find answers that could lead them to their missing loved ones.

Julie Hosack’s 24-year-old son Cole has not been seen since New Years Eve. Over the weekend, close to 100 people joined her in the search for Cole and two Indigenous women who have gone missing in the past 10 months: Daralyn Supernant, and Renee Didier.

Volunteers scoured Dawson Creek and a large surrounding area, spanning from Sweetwater to Baytree in Alberta. 

The families have recently teamed up with Please Bring Me Home, a non-profit organization made up of retired private investigators, police officers, and social workers who aim in preventing missing persons cases from becoming cold cases.

The organization provided a professional tracking dog while investigators work behind the scenes on the seperate cases.

Nick Oldreive, the Co-Founder and Executive Director says they exhaust all resources to help find clues that could lead them to finding their loved ones.

Across Canada, Please Bring Me Home have assisted in 9 locations of missing persons in the month of January.

Oldreive and his team of investigators are familiar with all three missing person cases in Dawson Creek and have a warning for those who maybe involved in the disappearances or have information; "what I can say based on what we're seeing and hearing is, in my opinion, time is running out for the people that know something," said Oldreive.

Mounties say they appreciate the support and co-operation from the organizations like Please Bring Me Home and others who are helping families.

The Dawson Creek RCMP has brought in extra help to interview witnesses and comb through hours of surveillance video.

"It's inspiring to see family for Renee and family for Darylyn, and family for Cole, working together to try to locate these missing people and just not being quiet about it," said Oldreive.

"Most people say that if they were going through this situation, they'd like the same effort for their loved ones, so it is feeling good under the worst circumstances," added Hosack.
