Rescuers say a teenage girl who was missing for more than two days in a Metro Vancouver provincial park has been found alive.
Team manager Ryan Smith with Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue says Esther Wang was located Thursday night and has gone home with her family after a medical assessment.
RCMP say the 16-year-old from Langley, B.C., was part of a group of four people who were hiking in Golden Ears Provincial Park on Tuesday. The group left a lookout point at about 2:45 p.m. to head back to their campground but about 15 minutes later they noticed that Wang was missing. Police say the group returned to the viewpoint to look for Wang and when she wasn’t found, the leader returned to the entrance of the trail to have a park ranger call police.Sign up for the CHEK Now daily email newsletter to get breaking news and the day's top stories sent to your email.The search and rescue team confirmed Thursday that a search was underway involving a helicopter, a drone and teams of rescuers from across the Lower Mainland.
