Wife says husband on dream voyage from Panama, now ‘heartbreaking’ disappearance
VICTORIA — The wife of one of two missing British Columbia sailors says her husband’s dream voyage has become a nightmare as days pass without word from him.
Leah Bliss said her friends and psychics are telling her to hold onto the thread of hope that her husband, Daniel Archbald, is somewhere safe, but it’s been almost a month since he disappeared.
She said she’s had to prepare their two daughters, nine and five years old, for the worst.
“It’s really difficult explaining to children a situation like this,” said Bliss. “It’s even difficult for adults to grasp the concept of missing. When I told (my daughters) I tried to be as honest as possible. I explained he was missing but it didn’t look good.”
