There is still no sign of Caitlin Potts who has now been missing for two months.

However, Vernon RCMP Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy said police do not suspect foul play at this time.

Potts was last seen on Feb. 22, and made contact with friends on social media Feb. 26, but has not been heard from since.

The 27-year-old First Nations woman was reported missing March 1.

There was some speculation Potts had moved back to Calgary where her mother lives, but Noseworthy said there is no indication she did so.

“We are following up on numerous leads. It's been a very active investigation,” said Noseworthy, adding police have talked to “dozens” of people and conducted air and ground searches, but she declined to say where the searches were held.

“We have gone into all aspects of her online activities and are doing everything we can to find her. It is a matter we are taking very seriously, but we are not prepared to say foul play involved.”

Noseworthy said Potts has gone missing before, but never for this long. She has a residence in Enderby and no history of mental health issues.

Potts is described as about five-foot-three, 150 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.

There is also still no sign of Terrence Strynadka who was last seen Feb. 15 near Swan Lake in the North Okanagan.

Strynadka is described as a Caucasian male, 63 years old, five-foot-nine, 189 pounds with grey hair, grey moustache and beard and brown eyes

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of either person is urged to contact their local police, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
