The RCMP and Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue (SVSAR) called off the search for 24-yearold Andrew Wilson of Salmon Arm late Tuesday afternoon. Wilson, the son of Lynda and Lorne Wilson of Salmon Arm, had been missing since Monday afternoon after being swept away by currents while swimming in the Seymour River. RCMP and searchers have concluded that it is unlikely that Wilson survived and he is presumed to have drowned. Reports indicate that on the morning of June 11, two men, Wilson and a friend, travelled to Andrew Wilson Seymour Arm for a day hike to Seymour Falls. “At some point in the afternoon, one of the men jumped into the Seymour River to cool off and was swept down river,” reads an RCMP press release. “The man’s friend made his way to the nearest logging road and flagged down a grader operator, who in turn contacted a local resident. The resident called 911.” Chase RCMP initiated an air and ground search of the rugged and remote Seymour area Monday
