Nearly seven months after their daughter’s disappearance near Victoria, B.C., parents Tom and Maggie McDevitt are reporting a “monumental shift” in efforts to find her, including confirmation of her recent hiking routes.
Avid hiker Melissa McDevitt, 38, last spoke with family on Dec. 8. She was supposed to travel from Victoria to Vancouver on Dec. 10, but never arrived. Her vehicle, a grey 2015 Subaru Forester, was found that same day near Sooke Potholes Provincial Park.
Tom and Maggie moved from North Carolina to Vancouver Island in May to continue searching for McDevitt with a growing community of residents — skilled hikers in the Greater Victoria area — who regularly scour the trails to find their daughter. Their collaboration has now led to a breakthrough, Tom said. Kylie Stanton reports.
