It's been nine years since Joshua Jeffs went missing near Revelstoke and his mother Charlene Ehlert is still trying to find answers, and closure.
Despite extensive and exhaustive searches by both RCMP and search and rescue members over the past nine years, Joshua Jeffs has not been located and remains missing, according to a RCMP media release issued today, Dec. 19.
“How do I summarize nine years of now knowing anything?" Ehlert said in the release.
"Nine years is too long for any parent to go not knowing where or what happened to their child, as it's impossible to properly grieve with no closure. I am begging for any information about my son Joshua Jeffs. Every missing person matters.”
