ORIGINAL ARTICLE: POWELL RIVER — The Powell River RCMP is asking for the local public’s assistance in locating missing 15 year old Ashley Garland out of the Powell River, British Columbia area.

Ashley has been missing since the early morning of October 17, 2017.

Originally from Comox, Garland has been living in Powell River under the care of BC Ministry of Children and Family Development, said Powell River RCMP corporal Aaron Hamilton.

“We are working with MCFD and Comox Valley RCMP to locate her and get her back to her foster home,” said Hamilton.

Garland was last seen in Powell River with a 36-year-old male, also from Comox. Police have since been in contact with the man and are following up on other possible places the teen may have gone.

“Our concern is her age and with the changing weather conditions,” added Hamilton. “We’re not sure exactly if she has shelter or what her situation is.”

Hamilton said it is possible Garland is no longer in Powell River and may have returned to Comox.

Ashley is described as:

• GENDER: Female.
• ETHNICITY: Caucasian.
• HAIR: Blonde, shoulder length.
• EYES: Blue.
• HEIGHT: 5 feet 8 inches.
• WEIGHT: 140 pounds.
