Badlands Search and Rescue (SAR), on Thursday, December 24, is assisting in the search for missing Drumheller man David Lesoway.
Lesoway, 53, was last seen on Thursday, December 17, in Drumheller. He would often travel on foot around the town of Drumheller and routinely frequents local businesses. Police are concerned for Losoway's well being as he has cognitive limitations and has known medical conditions requiring treatment.
Malen Vidler, search manager Badlands SAR tells the Mail the RCMP has asked them to assist in the search. There were two teams of two searchers, along with the RCMP and a police dog unit on Christmas Eve conducting the search, starting near Westergard Ford.
He explains the search begins with a small radius search surrounding the home of the missing person, and throughout the day the search area expands.
Police say it is out of character for David to not have had any contact with friends or family for this long of a period.
David is described as 6’1” tall, 266 lbs, with brown eyes and brown/ grey hair.
