CHILLIWACK — Mounties in Chilliwack are renewing their call for any information about a missing man who was dropped off six years ago in the Cultus Lake area and was never seen again.

According to a statement from Chilliwack RCMP Sgt. Alexandra Mulvihill, Timothy Delahaye was dropped off on Monday, April 29, 2019, by a friend in the Cultus Lake area on Frost Road. Delahaye’s intentions were to hike the trails into the United States, where he planned to attend a religious retreat. Delahaye last spoke to his family and friends on May 1, 2019. No one has heard from him since.

Despite the efforts of search and rescue personnel, RCMP helicopters, drones, and possible sighting tips, no sign of Delahaye and his belongings have ever been located, Sgt. Mulvihill said. An investigation into his phone calls on May 1, 2019 led police to believe he was still in Canada at the time of those calls.

Investigators are again asking the public from anyone who may have been in the area of Cultus Lake or the surrounding mountains between April 29, 2019 and May 1, 2019, and believe they may have seen Delahaye, or any of his belongings, to contact the Chilliwack RCMP.

While years have passed, Delahaye was carrying some very distinct possessions that could have been abandoned anywhere, police say. The added photo was taken of Delahaye on April 29, 2019 when he was dropped off by his friend. The clothes he is wearing in the picture, and the bag he had, are some of the thing’s investigators are hoping to find.
