Ryan William Duncan, 43, vanished from the North Okanagan region of British Columbia after being last seen on July 17, 2018. He had recently moved to Calgary for a new job on July 1, 2018, and that afternoon an RCMP officer found him beside a road near Lumby when his rental car ran out of gas. The officer drove him into the village to get fuel and charge his phone; during that time Duncan made several calls to his mother asking for money and was last seen walking away from a Lumby motel, presumably back toward his car.

Four days later the rental car was located in Vernon with a smashed window and no sign of Duncan. Investigators believe someone else may have driven the vehicle to Vernon. There has been no activity on his bank or credit cards since his disappearance. Reports say he’d been struggling with depression and substance use and may have associated with a problematic group; unconfirmed claims link his trip to a separate sting involving a missing police officer.

The Vernon North Okanagan RCMP list the case as active and there is evidence suggesting he may be deceased. Does anyone who knew Ryan or saw him in Lumby or Vernon in mid July 2018 have information that could help the investigation?
