Juan de Fuca Search and Rescue and police confirm that no one is missing.
The discovery of two abandoned suitcases on a remote Vancouver Island beach has led to new information about the mystery.
Mystic Beach in Juan de Fuca Provincial Park is a two-kilometre hike from the China Beach parking lot through a lush forest. The hike is filled with tree roots, mud and steep stairs. “He was carrying a tent in a duffle bag and wearing sneakers … he didn't look like your typical hiker that was doing the Juan de Fuca trail,” said Shelley.
The couple spoke with the man, who told them they were planning on going for a picnic or camping. They cautioned him about the tides, areas to camp and warned that it would start getting dark soon. “Our sense is that they made the trek down there and they were probably so exhausted ... that maybe they decided to leave the stuff there instead of lugging it back,” Shelley said. “They really didn’t seem to know what they were up to,” said Larry. “They all seemed very shocked as to how far the beach was when we told them.” “It seemed like they were visiting from somewhere and came up with this notion that you should go and do this without a lot of research into it,” said Larry.
