A Port Alberni woman missing since Wednesday remains missing but her car has been found south of Nanaimo, police said Sunday.
Port Alberni RCMP first announced they were looking for Amber Manthorne and her white 2021 Jeep Compass in a news release Saturday.
At the time, police said Manthorn had not been seen or heard from by friends or family since Wednesday.
Mounties described the missing woman as thin, with blonde hair and provided a photo of her and the missing vehicle. She is approximately 155 centimeters tall and may be traveling with a man, police said in their initial release.
They released an update on Sunday.
“Due to the vigilance and concern of a citizen, Amber’s SUV was located south of Nanaimo,” Port Alberni RCMP said in a release Sunday.
They also named Justin Hall as the man who may be with Manthorne, adding that his presence with her was “unconfirmed”.
“We’re still looking for Amber,” said Const. Richard Jones in the Sunday edition.
“We are still following all the evidence and tips we receive from the public. Investigators are working around the clock to find her… We ask the public to continue to be on the lookout for Amber and Justin and to call the Port Alberni RCMP immediately with any information on their location.”
The squad’s non-emergency line can be reached at 250-723-2424.
