The disappearance of Daniel Archbald and Ryan Daley has been deemed suspicious and the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit has taken over the investigation. Archbald, 37, and Daley, 43, were last seen leaving Ucluelet’s inner boat basin on-foot on May 16. They had arrived in Ucluelet on May 13 after a roughly eight-week sailing trip from Panama. Police are asking anyone who may have any information about the two men’s whereabouts to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 250-380-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. “Since being reported missing, Ucluelet RCMP have pursued a number of investigative avenues in an effort to locate them. These efforts included a search of the area they were last seen by the local Search and Rescue team as well as an aerial search. Police have deemed their disappearance suspicious and the investigation has now been turned over to VIIMCU,” said Cpl. Madonna Saunderson through a June 6 news release. “We ask anyone who has any information as to Daniel and Ryan’s whereabouts or anyone who may have seen them or talked to them between May 13 to 16 to call police immediately.” Cobble Hill resident Ben Kilmer, 41, also went missing on May 16. Kilmer’s vehicle was located on Cowichan Road near Duncan. Police say they have found no evidence to suggest the men’s disappearances are linked.

The ride also generates funds for Camp Goodtimes, a weeklong experience for children and families battling cancer. McRae, who lost her father Ron McRae to cancer in November, told the Westerly News the cross-Island journey will be an emotional one. “I’m probably going to cry a lot. I’m still going through the grieving process. To see kids that have shaved heads or have lost their hair from cancer and just seeing families so affected; it’s also fuel to continue riding, even though your legs are sore and it’s pissing rain,” she said.
