The decision to suspend the search was announced late Sunday, after an intensive weekend of searching for Ike Murray and Michael Sabo in the back country.
This past weekend saw a large group of search and rescue personnel, members of both the RCMP and a unit of the Armed Forces Canadian Rangers, as well as over 150 volunteers all comb the Lorne Creek area looking for the missing men.
Yesterday marked the seventh day that the search for the pair had taken place.
Last Sunday, September 22nd, the two men had failed to arrive at the pre-arranged pick up zone for their work at mushroom picking in the popular picking section east of Terrace. Officials were notified shortly after that missed pick up deadline, launching the seven days of scouring the brush east of Terrace in an area north of Highway 16 along the Skeena River.
The unsuccessful search results leaving officials to have to make the heart wrenching decision to suspend their efforts, after no sightings or indications were found as to where the pair might be.
A variety of media sources both national, provincial and local have been following the search through the week, some of their reports can be found below.
