Have You Seen James Van-Veen?
Police are asking anyone who visited the Inglis Falls area between Sunday evening, January 25, and late morning Monday, January 26, to check dashcams, home security footage, or trail cameras.
Even the smallest detail could help investigators locate the missing 64-year-old Georgian Bluffs man.
