Jordan Naterer - Located

Name :

NATERER, Jordan

 

Case :

Jordan Naterer, 25, was reported missing on October 13, 2020, after he failed to arrive at a Thanksgiving dinner. His black 2016 Honda Civic was found in the Lightning Lake day-use area of the E.C. Manning Provincial Park in British Columbia, at the Frosty Mountain trailhead.

The case has caused plenty of controversies, as friends and family believe that the search was called off too early. Even the Canadian Prime Minister became involved.

Jordan was a Memorial University engineering alumni and recent graduate of the University of British Columbia. He was last seen leaving his downtown Vancouver apartment at Seymour and Nelson streets at around 7 am, on October 10, 2020.

It’s believed he set out for a solo hike on Frosty Mountain Trail in Manning Provincial Park, but he didn’t leave a trip plan. When he didn’t show up for Thanksgiving dinner with friends two days later, the search began on October 13.

Jordan was five feet 10 inches tall, with a slim build, and short brown hair. He was last seen wearing black pants and white running shoes and carrying a large olive green backpack.

His bank card records indicated he had bought a cup of coffee at the Manning Park resort, giving the family verification where he had been before he vanished. He had purchased camping equipment and apparel some time before, which gave the family detailed information like the tread type on his boots.

Update: Jordan's remains were located by a volunteer searcher in Manning Provincial Park in July of 2021.

Areas Searched/Tips

 

Searchers believed that Jordan was on a "hiking trip that went poorly." His parents flew to Vancouver from their home in St. John's to help look for their son.

For five days, search-and-rescue teams from several parts of British Columbia scoured the area by air and on foot. Several volunteers also helped out. However, on October 17, the authorities decided to suspend the search, stating they had exhausted all avenues for searching. The search was called off "based on the expert advice of the SAR teams and lack of additional information."

The family launched its own private search, hired a drone company, and paid for a helicopter to search. They also appealed to Vancouver Police Department to re-activate the search as soon as possible and get thermal imaging helicopters and drones and dogs up there.

Early in the search, crews found a bag that authorities didn’t think belonged to Jordan. But then, on October 18, Jordan’s mother, Josie, identified the contents of the bag as belonging to her son - which included a hat and pair of Oakley sunglasses, Pieces of down material, used in pillow fillers, were also spotted in the park. It was similar material Jordan used to make crafts and found at his apartment, according to his father, Greg Naterer.

Greg also said "off-trail footprints" had been found south of Frosty Peak in an area that hasn't been well searched and he had asked the RCMP to search the area east of Frosty Peak where he believes his son wandered, based on new clues found by a private tracker.

Search-and-rescue teams from three different districts near Vancouver resumed the search on October 22, but no sign of Jordan has been found in the E.C. Manning Provincial Park.
