Staff Sgt. Brad McKinnon of the Williams Lake RCMP said he has seen “some very exceptional things” during his 20 years in policing, but the story of 39-year-old Andrew Barber could have had a very different ending.

McKinnon said a police helicopter coming from Prince George spotted the man in the afternoon of Aug. 8 in a remote area north of McLeese Lake – nine days after he was first reported missing to RCMP on July 31.
