NANAIMO — Search efforts continue to try and find a missing Errington woman.

Oceanside RCMP and Arrowsmith Search and Rescue continue leading the effort to locate 45-year-old Sara Sherry who hasn’t been seen since in just over a week.

A grey Nissan pickup truck believed to have last been driven by Sherry was found in a ditch on Friday, Feb. 23, around 15 metres off a logging road near Hwy. 19 and NW Bay Logging Rd.

“The area where the truck was located is a popular weekend destination for back country enthusiasts and search crews are actively searching the area through day and night,” Oceanside RCMP Sgt. Shane Worth said. “We are asking for those out there this weekend to be on the lookout for Sara.”

Search efforts in the area of the truck continued into the night time hours on Friday, however no trace of her was located.
