RCMP renew call for information in 12-year-old Kamloops missing person case

Police in Kamloops are hoping someone has information that could help solve a 12-year-old missing person case.

Fred Yellow Old Woman was last seen on June 13, 2011, at a friend’s home in the 600 block of Shuswap Road in Kamloops.

"He went to bed around 10:30 p.m. Around 5:30 a.m., others in the house noticed the front door was opened and he was gone. His glasses and wallet were left behind," reads an RCMP media release issued today, July 6.

At the time he was 54 years old. Now he would be 66.

“Despite search efforts which included the assistance of search and rescue teams, the Police Dog Service Unit and air services, Fred remains missing and many questions are still unanswered,” Tk’emlúps Rural RCMP Const. David Dixon said in the release.

At the time of his disappearance, Yellow Old Woman was described as a First Nations male, 5’11” tall, weighing about 200 lb. with dark black hair, short on the sides and collar length at the back, brown eyes, with an ‘F’ tattooed on his left thumb. He was last seen wearing a red muscle shirt and black cut-off shorts.

“We are again releasing an image of Fred Yellow Old Woman to remind the public that the search for him continues and anyone that may have information that could be related to this investigation is asked to please contact police,” Const. Dixon said.

Anyone with information can call the Tk’emlúps Rural RCMP at 250-314-1800 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
