File # 2014-2821
On August 10th, 2014, 67-year-old Kitimat resident Noel Yassinsky was reported missing after not being seen for a period of time. A friend had noticed several things at Noel’s residence that was out of character, that was concerning, including not seeing his Blue, 4 door 2009 Ford Fusion bearing BCLP 226UFF around at all.
The missing person’s file, 2014-2821 was started as several attempts to contact and locate Noel were negative.
A month later, on September 17th, 2014, Noel’s vehicle was located abandoned east of Prince George, near Purden Campground. A two-day search of the area was done with the assistance of the RCMP Police dog Services and Search and Rescue. Unfortunately, no clues as to the whereabouts of Noel was found.
Missing person files remain open until the person is located. As the 10-year anniversary for Noel Yassinsky just passed, the family is still looking for closure.
If you have any information, no matter how small it may seem, please report it to the Kitimat RCMP at 250-632-7111 or Northern British Columbia Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
