At approximately 8:00pm Tuesday night,
Vernon Search and Rescue were called out by the RCMP to assist in the
search for a missing 13 year old girl near Parker's Cove on Westside
Road. Twenty-four Members responded and began searching the area on foot
and in vehicles. Due to the urgency of the search, because of dropping
temperatures, Mutual Aid from the Central Okanagan and Shuswap Search
and Rescue groups were called in to assist with search. The female was
dressed in only jeans, a t-shirt and hoodie. The girl was located at 2
AM. She was hypothermic, treated on scene by Search and Rescue personnel
and was transported to Vernon Jubilee Hospital by ambulance.
