Dozens of volunteers are searching for a member of the Cowichan Tribes who went missing on Vancouver Island last Thursday near the Cowichan River. Ethan Sampson, 28, was last seen on Quamichan Road West, located near Duncan, B.C., close to the river at 10:40 p.m. on Jan. 30. Jen Charlie, one of the volunteers searching for Sampson and a councillor at Cowichan Tribes, says volunteers have been searching both sides of the river all the way to where it meets the ocean. The North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP, Cowichan Search and Rescue (SAR) and North Cowichan Fire Department have helped in the search, along with volunteers. While she doesn't have many details about how or why he went missing, she says his parents want him home.
