RCMP converged in Virgin Arm on New World Island following a tip regarding a historic missing persons case from the area but failed to turn up any clues on the whereabouts of Andy Canning.
The 70-year-old, who was known to walk the road between his home in Bridgeport and the community of Virgin Arm, went missing in May of 2019 and hasn’t been seen since.
Police received a tip that led them to search an area of Virgin Arm on the weekend, including divers in the water, but concluded their operation with the missing person’s file still open and unresolved.
RCMP are asking anyone with information that may help to provide answers on the disappearance of Andy Canning to give them a call.
