An Alberta couple in their early 60s, who were reported missing for more than a week after heading back to Alberta from Whitehorse, YT., have been found.
Whitehorse RCMP, in a news release issued today, July 29, said there were rumours they were located last night but they could not release that information until the police had direct contact with them.
"We can confirm that they have been located and are safe," the release says.
Owen and Susan Konski, both in their early 60s, are believed to have left Whitehorse on July 20 or 21, heading down the Alaska Highway to Alberta, according to a Whitehorse RCMP news release.
It does not say where, in Alberta, they were headed to.
They are believed to be driving a white 2019 Dodge Ram 3500 pickup truck with an Alberta license plate and towing a 30 foot long fifth wheel travel trailer.
This is the truck and trailer they were believed to be travelling in.
