Richmond RCMP has appealed to the public for help in tracking down two missing persons.
The first is a teenager from Quebec, who was last seen busking with his guitar outside Superstore on No. 3 Road on Jan. 31.
David Fortin has been missing from his home in Quebec since February 2009. The Surete Du Quebec is conducting the investigation into Fortin's disappearance and has received information that Fortin was seen in Richmond.
Fortin speaks French and is a Caucasian male, 5'8" tall, 165 lbs with brown hair and brown eyes.
The photo of Fortin was taken aged 14, but an age-progressed image has also been issued by police to show what he would look like at 16.
Police are also following up on a missing persons investigation from 2009 in hopes of gaining new information that may lead to locating 49-year-old Vancouver resident Veronica Lem.
Lem was reported missing after last being seen by a family friend at Vancouver Airport, when she was about to board a flight to Toronto.
Lem did not show up in Toronto and the investigation into her disappearance has been ongoing since 2009, leading police to believe she has chosen to live independently from her family.
Lem has had contact with her family sporadically, however, there has been no recent contact. At no time have investigators or family members suspected that foul play was involved in Lem's disappearance.
But they are urging her to contact the Richmond RCMP, so they can confirm she is safe and sound. While Lem's family is concerned for her well-being and would like to hear from her again, they also understand that privacy is important to her.
Lem is as an Asian female, 4'10" tall, 90 lbs, slim build with dark brown hair and brown eyes. She has been associated to Mennonite churches in Vancouver as a volunteer and in the past has lived at Mennonite operated public housing.
Richmond RCMP would like to reassure Lem that her whereabouts would remain confidential if she were to contact the police.
Anyone that may know of Fortin or Lem's whereabouts is asked to contact Richmond RCMP at 604 278 1212. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
