Family and police say they’re “extremely concerned” for the well-being of a missing Vancouver Island man, as they put out a plea for help in finding him.
On Tuesday, 35-year-old Chris Chesnic was reported missing to the Nanaimo RCMP. In a media release, police say he could be in Langford.
“His family told investigators that Chesnic recently made some comments that were considered to be troubling,” police said.
The day Chesnic was reported missing, his mother, Deborah Macdonald, posted to Facebook, requesting any information regarding her son’s whereabouts.
“He left a suicide message on his phone sometime between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. today,” Macdonald wrote. “Please, if you have seen him, please call the Nanaimo Police or the Langford Police.”
“His girls need him.”
Described as a Caucasian man, Chesnic stands at 5’11” and weighs around 190 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes, with a tattoo of a skull on his upper right arm and one of a dog on his upper left arm.
Police are asking people to watch for a red 2009 Ford F150 pickup with BC plate NV9977, as Chesnic may be behind the wheel.
According to Macdonald, Chesnic owns Elite Island Roofing and has a work trailer parked at a customer’s house; however, she doesn’t know the address.
“If anyone reads this and my son was working on your roof, and his trailer is there, please message me,” she added.
Anyone who sees Chesnic is asked to call 911. Those with information about his whereabouts should call the Nanaimo RCMP at (250) 754-2345, quoting file #2022-6263.
