Sunday marks a sombre anniversary for those wanting answers about what happened to a missing Cowichan Tribes man.
Seven years ago was the last known sighting of 26-year-old Ian Henry and affected family members are worried his case is going cold, as are some other cases involving missing Indigenous people.Henry went missing in August 2015, but as time has passed there haven’t been answers to the questions swirling around his disappearance.
“He’s been missing that long with no leads, no clues. We’ve searched all over Vancouver Island. We’ve plastered posters all over Vancouver Island,” said Monica Patsy Jones, an aunt and Executive Director of Cowichan Missing and Murdered Women, Men and Children. “The family can not let him go until he’s brought home. Then we can let him go and heal,” said Seymour.“Ian was always active. He loved his biking. Always had his smile. A friendly man,” said Seymour.Desmond Peter went missing in 2007 at the age of 14. His grandmother still hopes he’s alive.
“The first year was the hardest cause I was standing alone. My daughter turned to alcohol right away so I had to go and look for him myself,” said Donna Louie, the grandmother of Peter.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.“One of the things that cross our minds right now is human trafficking and that’s really strong around here right now,” said Jones.
