HALIFAX – Police say a potentially dangerous couple, who went missing from a mental health facility in North Bay, Ontario, may have been spotted in Truro, Nova Scotia.

Police believe Joseph Pepin and Cara Duval (also known as Cara Donnelly) were at two locations in Truro yesterday. A video was taken of a couple, believed to be Pepin and Duval, at the Truro Library, said Truro Police. The video has been posted to the police force’s Facebook page.

The couple was also reported to be looking for an apartment. However, police said the person who reported them only recognized the two later after watching the news.

Pepin and Duval were reported missing from the North Bay Hospital’s Mental Health and the Law program on January 22. They were spotted in New Brunswick twice. RCMP in that province said they tried to rent an apartment in Doaktown, NB on Sunday.

The couple could be travelling in a late 1990s grey Intrepid with a New Brunswick license plate, said police. Previously they were believe to be travelling in a dark grey Jetta with Ontario plates.

The two are considered dangerous and police are asking the public not to approach them. Instead, police said any tips should be called into 911.

Duval, 37, is just over five feet tall, weighs about 117 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes.

Pepin, 39, is six feet tall, weighs 174 pounds, has brown hair and blue eyes. He is currently clean shaven.
