There is a possibility they may have taken some side roads off of Highway 3 in the Pincher Creek, Crowsnest Pass, Sparwood, and Fernie areas and become lost or stuck with recent snowfall in those areas.  There are no health related issues for either of these two individuals.  The two speak both English and Dutch and reside in the Fort Macleod area.

The RCMP would like to confirm there are no suspicious circumstances to this investigation at this time.

The Fort Macleod RCMP are currently making attempts to locate Jacob and Anja to confirm they are well and is seeking the assistance of the public in locating them.
