Nov 24, 2017 | 4:22 PM

PARKSVILLE — Concern is growing as RCMP say they have “little-to-no indication” where a missing Parksville woman is.

Oceanside RCMP have released a new picture and more details about 36-year-old Carmel Georgina Gilmour. Her van was found abandoned near the Shady Rest Pub in Qualicum Beach on Nov. 21. She hasn’t been seen since Nov. 15.

“We’re obviously very concerned for her…She’s never been listed as missing before,” Cpl. Jesse Foreman said.

Foreman said Gilmour’s van was spotted near Little Mountain Rd. in Parksville on Nov. 14 and then near the Shady Rest on Nov. 15. “(The van) looked like it was in driving condition and had a bunch of her personal effects in there.”

Foreman said they spoke with all of the homeowners around the area where the van was found but that produced no new information.

RCMP are asking anyone who may have seen Gilmour or her van in recent weeks to come forward. The van is a brown 2002 Chevrolet Venture with B.C. licence plate EX9 76V.

“We’re sure there’s someone who knows something out there. We’re hoping to get some tips to point us in the right direction,” Foreman said.
