DAWSON CREEK, B.C. — A foot search for Cole Hosack, who was reported missing on January 1st, is being conducted in Dawson Creek Friday afternoon by his friends and family.

Hosack’s girlfriend, Morgan Crawford, said they’ll start the search at noon at the Lonestar parking lot in Dawson Creek.

He was last seen at the nightclub on January 1st, 2024.

“[We’re] going to kind of go through and look in the field that’s behind there, where the train tracks and stuff are, and see if there’s anything back there,” Crawford said.

Crawford said the police said they would also try to help and have searched the area, though not extensively.

“They said that more eyes and more people can’t hurt, more ground to be covered there,” Crawford said.

Crawford’s friend made maps of multiple areas in the city, including Kin Park and the cemetery, to be handed out during the search.

The maps created to break down the search for Hosack.

Crawford and Hosack were living in Prince George when he went missing, though she is now in Dawson Creek with friends and family to help look for her boyfriend.

She said he and a friend had stopped in Dawson Creek for a couple of nights for New Year’s when they were on the way to Edmonton to swap vehicles before he continued to Medicine Hat for work.

In the RCMP’s missing person report, it was said Hosack was last seen leaving the nightclub around 11 p.m. on December 31st, 2023.

Crawford said surveillance footage shows Hosack leaving Lonestar at 12:29 a.m. on January 1st, 2024.

“We just want him to come home,” Crawford said.

Just after 4 p.m. on January 5th, 2024, the RCMP put out a call for more information regarding the night Hosack went missing.

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed a fight outside Lonestar that may have occurred between 11:30 p.m. on December 31st, 2023 and 12:30 a.m. on January 1st, 2024, to contact the Dawson Creek RCMP at 250-784-3700.
