Josie Naterer, whose son Jordan has been missing for 12 days, holds tight to her belief the 25-year-old will be found safe in Manning Park.

sa国际传媒淚 am pretty confident,sa国际传媒 she said during an interview, in a quiet sitting room at the park lodge, on the morning of Thursday, Oct. 22.

With her composure failing for only a moment, she added: sa国际传媒淗esa国际传媒檚 going to come out of a helicopter and say sa国际传媒榳hat took you so long?sa国际传媒檚a国际传媒

That was just hours after the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) reactivated the official search for Jordan, which was suspended Saturday, Oct. 17. Following the suspension of the search, Josie, her family and friends decided to go out and look for Jordan on their own.

According to media relations officer Constable Tania Visitin the investigation into Jordansa国际传媒檚 disappearance is sa国际传媒渁ctive and ongoingsa国际传媒e have got a slew of people on this.sa国际传媒

The search was initially suspended after sa国际传媒渆xhaustive effortssa国际传媒 because of poor weather and the risk to volunteers, she said.

On Thursday (Oct.22), at least three ground search and rescue groups, including one from Princeton and another from Hope, were on the trails,while RCMP was operating two helicopters and a drone.

A dedicated tip line was established one day earlier.

Josie said new information suggests Jordan is wearing a red coat and has an orange tent and a blue sleeping bag, which is good for temperatures as low as -9 C.

Over the past week, the Naterer family, with assistance from Jordansa国际传媒檚 co-workers and friends, hired a tracker and employed drones and helicopters for their search.

A gofundme page has raised $62,446 to help fund the activities.

A painful question that has been asked of Josie is one of suicide; however, the mother doesnsa国际传媒檛 flinch at the word.

sa国际传媒淧eople are saying things to us. But absolutely no way. If you know Jordan - it wouldnsa国际传媒檛 be in his nature.sa国际传媒

Jordan was last seen Saturday, Oct. 10, after telling friends he was going for an overnight hike. After he failed to return for a Thanksgiving dinner party, his car was located at the Lightning Lake parking lot. A police search of his computer revealed he had looked up the Frosty Mountain trail loop.

Anyone who may have seen Jordan, or has any information, is asked to call the tip line at 1-604-717-2530.

Jordan, an electrical engineer specializing in wireless communication, moved to B.C. from his familysa国际传媒檚 home in St. Johnsa国际传媒檚 two years ago.
