Police say 78-year-old Derek Kruger was last seen at a gas station in Antigonish, N.S., on Sept. 29.
In an update to a news release on Sunday, police say they began a search in the Greenfield, Colchester County area on Wednesday. As a result, police located Kruger’s red Mazda Miata on a nearby logging road.
Police say the search used many resources and covered lots of ground.
“More than 2,000 volunteer hours were incurred and over 100 km of dense woods, trails and roadways were searched,” says RCMP public information officer Sgt. Andrew Joyce in a news release.
The search efforts in the area were suspended Saturday evening, but police say the search could be reactivated if new information is brought forward.
Kruger is described by police as five-foot-four, with brown hair. He also wears glasses and a hearing aid.
