THE FAMILY — of Anne
Marie Potton has flown to
B.C. from St. Catherines,
Ontario to resume the effort
to find her.

By Kate Zimmerman

News Reporter

Potton, 24, went missing Oct. 8
after telling friends she was going
for a hike on Whistler Mountain.
Massive searches of the area by as
many as 165 volunteers, including
members of the North Shore
Rescue Team. have failed to turn
up clues.

On Wednesday, Potton’s father
George, mother Maureen and sister
Karen arrived at Whistler. The
family was to meet Whistler
RCMP Thursday. George Potton
said the family remains optimistic,

“This thing's far from over.” he
said. “We're very, very positive
about it.”

The official search was called
off Oct. 16. but the RCMP’s miss-
ing person file remains open.
According to Tony Evans,
Whistler's coordinator for the
Provincial Emergency Program
(PEP), there is no finite number of
days that searches are conducted.

“fthas to do with how much of
the place has been covered, how
many times and how fong the vol-
unteers can keep going — they
have jobs and children,” he said.

Anne Marie was last seen wear-
ing dark green stretch pants, a blue
turtleneck and a dark green shirt.
