By 250 News

PrinceGeorge, B.C. - The family of Nicole Hoar, the 25 year old tree planter missing since June 21st of 2002, is asking for privacy.  The family had the RCMP release the following statement;

"Our family is aware of the police search currently going on west of Prince George. We are supportive of the police investigation and hoping it may further their investigation into the case of our missing daughter.
Our thoughts continue to be with Nicole. Nicole is just one of many missing persons in that area and our thoughts continue to be with their families as well. This is a difficult time for us, and we would ask that the media please be respectful of our privacy."

Police have confirmed they are searching the Pinewood Road acreage property for evidence in the disappearance of Nicole Hoar.  When contacted by Opinion 250 last night, Jack Hoar said he had been contacted by the RCMP and that they had told him they thought they might have the location where Nicole's remains may be found.  The investigation in that area at this point has focused on interviews with people in the area.

On site are the RCMP mobile command post and the mobile forensics trailer.

Corporal Annie Linteau says a previous owner of the propertyis a person of interest in this case, and RCMP have spoken  with that person, someone she says "poses no threat to the public."

One of the previous owners was Leland Vincent Switzer who is serving a life sentence for the second degree murder of his brother Irvin on July 23rd, 2002.  That murder happened just two days after Nicole disappeared.
