HARRISON — A Langley RCMP spokesperson says investigators have obtained video surveillance imagery that suggests 82-year-old Jane Whitehouse was driving on Hicks Lake Road northeast of Harrison Hot Springs the day she was reported missing.

Meanwhile, they’re hoping to locate the driver of a Mercedes SUV that was seen that same day in close proximity to the missing woman’s vehicle.

According to a statement from Langley RCMP spokesperson Zynal Sharoom, footage obtained by police indicates Whitehouse was driving her grey Dodge Caravan at approximately 4:10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25 on Hicks Lake Road. Several seconds later, a white Mercedes SUV was seen heading in the opposite direction and passed the grey Dodge Caravan. Police are looking to speak to the driver of the Mercedes to help advance their investigation.

“We are releasing the photograph of the white Mercedes SUV with the hopes of having the driver come forward and speak with our investigators,” says Corporal Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jane Whitehouse is urged to contact their local police, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
