NAKUSP - RCMP are asking for the public's help to find a missing 36-year-old Nakusp man.

Police say Christopher Sanford was last seen on Aug. 4 in Nakusp and was planning to travel to Kelowna.

His vehicle was found abandoned in nearby Fauquier on Aug. 5, according to an RCMP media release, but there was no sign of him despite an extensive search of the area.

Sanford's family has not heard from him, which RCMP say is unusual. His family is concerned for his health and well being.

Sandford is described as 6' tall, 150 to 160 lbs., very slim with brown eyes, a shaved head with a full sleeve tattoo on his left arm. He was last seen wearing camo pants, a black T-shirt and was barefoot.

Anyone with information is asked to call Nakusp RCMP at 250-265-3677, their local police, if necessary 911, or Crime Stoppers anonymously 24 hours a day at 1-800-222-8477, or online at www.bccrimestoppers.com.
