KAMLOOPS, B.C. – Mounties in Kamloops, B.C., say the search continues for a 50-year-old Alberta man lost in the North Thompson River.
Kamloops RCMP say officers responded to a call near a sports complex after a man was reportedly “swept away” by the river on Friday.
Police say 50-year-old Stan Cappis and a friend jumped into a fast-moving portion of the river to rescue two young people who got caught by the river’s current.
Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet says Cappis’ friend and the youths got to shore, but Cappis was “swept away” and was last spotted around a river bend.
Police say efforts by emergency personnel and numerous civilians to find Cappis began immediately, but he wasn’t found.
RCMP say the search continued Saturday with help from the local search-and-rescue team, and police say people who live in the area around the Tournament Capital Ranch should be on the lookout for Cappis.
