Purcell was also taking medication for his heart and blood pressure.

Wagil said her grandfather is normally a very friendly man.

“Like if you’re at a gas station he will just go up to you and introduce himself as Maxwell,” she said.

The search team on the ground now consists of 15 people, divided up amongst six vehicles.

Wagil said they are combing an area around Hudson Bay 100 km in every direction.

“And the rest of us are reaching out to the media, gas stations, bus stations, highway patrol, Ducks Unlimited because he is a hunter.”

Wagil said the support the family has received has been very helpful.

“We are not losing hope,” she said.

Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact their nearest RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers.
