The search for a missing father and daughter from Duncan continues, now nearing a month since anyone has seen either of them.
Jesse and Violet Bennett were reported missing on January 23rd after Jesse failed to return Violet to her mother, as ordered by the Victoria Family Courts.
Previously, North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP believed the pair were travelling in a Honda Civic, but now believe they may be in a 2001 black Dodge Dakota Sport club cab with a white canopy.
“Investigators no longer believe that Jesse and Violet are travelling in the Honda Civic and may be associated to a different vehicle,” said Sgt. Trevor Busch of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP.
“Investigators are now looking for a 2001 black Dodge Dakota Sport club cab with a white canopy.”
The license plate is not known, and RCMP has provided a stock image of the type of truck but do not have any photos of the actual truck the pair may be using.
Jesse is described as a Caucasian man, 36-years-old, 5’10”, 160 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair (possibly shaved head or wearing hat), with a beard.
Violet Bennett is described as a Caucasian girl and standing about 4’ tall, and weighing 50-60 pounds. She has blue eyes and big natural curly hair.
To date, police and family have not been able to make contact with either of them.
Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to contact the police in your jurisdiction, or the North Cowichan RCMP at 250-748-5522.
