Cowell and Bishop left Merritt August 31st and Cowell was expected to return home in time for her 6 year old son to start school. She didn’t make it, in fact despite several sightings in the lower mainland, the couple wasn’t found until September 16th in Oceanside, one day after her family made a public plea for information on her whereabouts.

The community/town on Vancouver Island wanted to change the name of Parksville to Oceanside but that was voted/turned down.
Other than that, it is great about the update, that she is safe and sound.
