Derrick Wesley Ryde, 34, was last seen around February 28, 2025, on his uncle’s property in Salmon Arm, British Columbia. An experienced outdoorsman who often went off-grid for a week or two, his absence became worrying when he did not return on schedule and was reported missing on March 25, 2025.

Ryde is described as 6 feet 5 inches tall, about 160 pounds, with blonde hair and dark blue eyes. His grooming varied from clean-shaven with short hair to long hair and facial hair. Typical clothing included Carhartt garments, a blue long-sleeved shirt, a black leather jacket, and aviator-style sunglasses; he has a red dice tattoo on his chest. Search efforts by the RCMP, Search and Rescue teams, and volunteers focused on the Grandview Bench and Edgar Road area but locating him has been difficult given his familiarity with remote terrain.

Anyone who knew Derrick’s routines, frequented the Salmon Arm area, or has information about his whereabouts is asked to come forward.
