New clues in search for missing B.C. grandma

The missing woman's vehicle have been found but there is no sign of her after last being seen five days ago.

The search for a missing grandmother continues after her vehicle was discovered abandoned on a forest service road. 

Jane Whitehouse, 82, was reported missing on Oct. 25. The last time she was seen was at 10:10 a.m. that day in Aldergrove, B.C.

Investigators have obtained a new photo of Whitehouse from surveillance cameras showing what she was wearing when she went missing. 

Langley RCMP believed she was driving in a grey Dodge Grand Caravan with the license plate CP6 01A. Police later confirmed the van was found near Harrison Lake on Sunday. 

Albert Fuchs came across her vehicle on Harrison East Forest Service Road on the east side of Harrison Lake and called police. Her van was found more than 150 kilometres from where she was last seen. 

Whitehouse’s daughter Eileen Antosh says her mother’s shoes were found on Monday. 

"I have just talked to search and rescue. They had so many people out there looking for my mom,” she said. 

A drone was used in the area to search for Whitehouse on Monday. 

"Unfortunately, she was not found, but they did find her other shoe,” said Antosh. "Mom has been out in the elements now for an extensive amount of time."

Kent Harrison Search and Rescue members are back out in the area on Tuesday searching for Whitehouse. 

Cpl. Craig van Herk says SAR members are searching close to where the van was located. 

"They searched yesterday and are back in the area today looking for Jane or anything that would help lead us to her whereabouts,” said van Herk. 

Agassiz RCMP and Langley RCMP members are investigating and following up on tips of possible sightings. 

Anyone with information about Whitehouse is asked to contact police.
