ORIGINAL:

A couple from Alberta visiting in B.C. broke down near Merritt Monday and haven鈥檛 been heard from since.

Sadie and Austin Feener went to Victoria over the weekend and failed to make it home.

鈥淭hey were due back Monday (Oct. 25) but no one has heard from Sadie since late Sunday (Oct. 24) and Austin sent a worrying brief text to his mom Tuesday morning (Oct. 26) saying they needed help and were stuck and running out of food and water,鈥� Sadie鈥檚 mom Stephanie Gauthier said.

鈥淭here was no location in his text. Last we heard they were nearing Merritt on the way home from B.C.,鈥� she said.

The distance between Airdrie, Alta., and Merritt is a 鈥渉uge area,鈥� she said, noting RCMP are doing what they can to locate them but have been unsuccessful in their search so far.

鈥淭hey also have one of their cats with them,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hey are pinging their phones but they both appear to be off or out of service.鈥�

The couple, in their early 20s, were driving a white Dodge Caravan, which has Alberta plates and some rust spots.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e stuck somewhere, likely between Merritt and Airdrie, in need of help and we aren鈥檛 sure what else to do,鈥� Gauthier said.

The couple did not show up for work Tuesday and family and friends are increasingly worried about their well-being.

Anyone with information that could be of assistance is asked to call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 file #KL21-70583 or the Airdrie RCMP file # 2021-1612522.
