''A volunteer group is hoping to bring closure to a couple of local families.
Please Bring Me Home is looking for volunteers to help search for Luciano Trinaistich, who went missing in July 2007, and Chris Rivers, who's been missing since August 2017. The search is happening on Sunday, May 21.
“I’m just hoping for a good outcome and find closure for the family, it’s been so long,” said Natashia Pickering, Please Bring Me Home investigation team member.
Both of the cases have connections to the Murphy Road area. Over eight kilometres long, the road connects Highway 655 to Florence Street (Hallnor Road) north of the Ontario government complex, on the way to the Bell Creek Mine site.
Local volunteers have already been helping out. ''
''Rivers was 44 when he was last seen in Timmins on Aug. 29, 2017. His vehicle was found abandoned in a wooded area of Murphy Road on Sept. 6, 2017.
A police ground search of the area turned up no signs of him and the search was suspended. Police later expanded the focus area for another ground search at the end of September 2017.
Timmins Police and OPP have been notified about the civilian searches this weekend.''
''This weekend's searches are the furthest north in Ontario that the group has worked.
Pickering hopes to have 23-27 volunteers for the search.
People interested in participating should email [email protected] or [email protected]. They'll provide potential volunteers with what they need to know and bring to the search.''
