A missing Sointula woman’s car has been found in Campbell River, but there is no sign of Twyla Roscovich, family and police say.

The 38-year-old filmmaker was reported missing on Tuesday, said Port McNeill RCMP. She left her home in Sointula on Sept. 6 for medical treatment on Vancouver Island and used her bank card the next day in Campbell River.

Her last communication was a text message to her family saying she planned to camp outside Nanaimo in her car. Her phone has been off since.

On Wednesday, her family said via social media that Roscovich’s green 1997 Volvo station wagon had been found near the ferry dock in Campbell River.

Friends and family have been searching the beaches and waterfront in Campbell River and on Quadra and Cortes islands.

Roscovitch, who has a young daughter, worked with fish-farm opponent Alexandra Morton on the documentary Salmon Confidential.

She is about five-foot-nine and 160 pounds, and has blue eyes and brown hair.

RCMP ask anyone with information about Roscovich and her whereabouts to contact their police local detachment.
