Fearing worst as 2 missing

Two sailors who docked at Ucluelet two weeks ago have gone missing on Vancouver Island.

Dan Archibald, 37, and Ryan Daley, 43, left the Ucluelet Small Craft Harbour on May 16. 

They sailed to B.C. from Panama and told friends they were headed to Daley's home in Jordan River, but never showed up.

Archibald and Daley were last seen the same day Cobble Hill resident Ben Kilmer was reported missing.

Kilmer's van was found on Cowichan Lake Road with blood inside, sparking a massive search for the 41-year-old, but police aren't connecting the two cases.

"We're extremely worried. We fear the worst has happened," Archibald's wife, Leah Bliss, told CTV. 

"I do know if they were travelling from Ucluelet to Jordan River, one of the routes would have taken them right by where Ben's van was found," said Laura Glyn, Daley's sister. 

RCMP ask anyone with information to contact them at 250-726-7773 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
