The family of Jakob Gibbon is desperately searching for their missing 22-year-old, after he disappeared from his home in Kamloops late last month.

Gibbon’s sister-in-law, Diana Cattermole says she, along with Gibbons and his mom Wendy Ryan all went to the Blazer game — the night before his disappearance — on Wednesday, December 28.

After the game ended, Cattermole says Gibbon and his mom Wendy stopped at Tim Hortons for coffee, explaining Wendy then went to bed at roughly 11:15 that evening, while Gibbons was said to be in his room.

Gibbon reportedly left his home on the North Shore between 11 p.m. on December 28 and 7:30 am on December 29 in his white, four door Dodge Avenger.

Cattermole says Gibbon’s mom woke up on Thursday morning, to find out her son was nowhere to be seen.

“(Wendy) got up the next morning, she was actually woken up by the cat, which is unusual because the cat is usually with Jacob, and so she went to look and he wasn’t in his bedroom,” said Cattermole. “He’s not an early riser normally, but she thought, maybe he went to Tim Hortons to get a coffee.”

Just after 8:30 that same morning, Cattermole says Wendy texted her missing son and never received a reply.

“So then she tried calling him and rang and rang and rang and then straight to voicemail, so she started getting concerned. An hour and a half later is when she really started to get concerned because he wasn’t getting back to her.”

After that, Cattermole says Wendy called her to see if she knew where Gibbons was, and later that afternoon, they contacted the Kamloops RCMP to file a missing person report.

She says they are left scratching their heads as to where Gibbon may have disappeared to as they say it’s very out of character for the missing 22-year-old.

“The one puzzling thing is his coffee was still sitting on his nightstand three-quarters full and his bed wasn’t slept in. So there’s nothing that we know of that would get him out of the house that early. He just wasn’t that kind of person. He wasn’t a drinker. He wasn’t a partier, nothing like that,”

Cattermole says so far, Mounties have looked into Gibbon’s phone records, social media, and bank accounts.

“His bank hasn’t been touched, there’s been no activity on his cell phone, and the only activity on the cell phone was a ping from a cell phone tower in North Kamloops at 10:59 Thursday morning (the day he was found missing).”

Cattermole explains the search has been difficult as they don’t know where to even begin looking.

“We don’t know, that’s just it. We don’t even know which direction he went, or when he left the house,” said Cattermole. “It’s really a needle in a haystack.”

Cattermole says they have family organizing ground searches, looking in places Gibbons may have gone to that they know of.

“We are desperately trying to find his car right now. It’s a white 2012 Dodge Avenger. License plate JM9 04E. It’s a clean car. There are no decals or anything on it. I think the main thing that we’re trying to do right now is locate his car.”

The 22-year-old Kamloops man, was last seen wearing a Black Under Armour sweatshirt with large, white logo on the chest, dark blue denim jeans, grey running shoes, and possibly wearing a hat.
