The search for three missing people who were hunting on northern Vancouver Island ended happily on Monday.
Willy John, his adult daughter Ashlee Cosman and six-year-old granddaughter Olivia disappeared this weekend while hunting in the Woss area, which is about an 80-minute drive north of Campbell River.
Their disappearance kicked off a large search effort when the trio didn’t return home.
John said after their vehicle became stuck Saturday afternoon and they had no cell service, he knew he had to trek through the woods for help.
Eventually, he made his way to a logging camp.
“I knew there was a logging camp down here and everyone goes home for the weekend,” he said, explaining that’s why he waited until Monday to walk and get help.
John said they just hunkered down, stayed warm and kept the heater on when necessary.
