Following a very large police response and diligent investigating, the Kelowna RCMP have concluded that no-one jumped or fell into the fast-moving mission creek on Wednesday night.
It has been determined that two athletic youth were enjoying a competitive run down the mission creek greenway at the time of a reported female jumping into the creek. However, the father of the two youths called police to report his daughters, who match the initial description, jumped off a bridge in the same reported area, down onto the trail to continue their run and are home safe.
The RCMP would like to thank the two witnesses that had made the initial report and to COSAR for their continued efforts to search the creek over the past two days.
Police took this matter very seriously with several resources in the search including foot patrols, police boats, a drone and the RCMP helicopter flying both in the day and at night.
The RCMP would like to remind the public to be diligent when using the outdoors, particularly around the waterways. With the spring run off continuing, water levels are very high and the currents are strong, making creeks and rivers very dangerous at this time of the year.
