RCMP search for missing person

Aug 10, 2011 | 10:23 AM

Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a missing person.

Albert Justin Custer, 28, was last seen by family, Tuesday, during a mushroom picking expedition about five kilometres south of the Hanson Lake Highway.

The group went back into the woods to pick more, while Custer was left with the vehicles parked at the trail. When they returned Custer was gone.

A storm was coming, so the family searched for about an hour, before bad weather forced them to call off their search.

Custer didn’t have vehicles keys and may have looked for shelter in the woods, said Deschambault Lake RCMP Detachment
