RCMP renew call for information as third anniversary of Miguel Mack’s disappearance approaches

The family of a Merritt man who disappeared three years ago this Friday (Feb. 27) will be holding another community walk in his memory.

The walk will honour Miguel Mack, who was last seen on Feb. 27, 2023. According to an RCMP statement, the walk is set to start at 4:00 p.m. in the 2000 block of Coutlee Avenue, and it will continue to Orme Street and end at the Merritt Civic Centre.

“The family is encouraging members of the community to come out in support and memory of Miguel,” the Feb. 23 statement from the BC RCMP said.

This will be the third such walk held in honour of Miguel Mack, as similar walks were held in each of the last three years.

In March 2024, police said that 24-year-old Mack was the victim of homicide, and in June last year, his family announced his body had been found.

RCMP say the investigation into Mack’s death is ongoing, and they’re asking people with information to come forward and contact police.

“The investigation into Miguel Mack’s death continues to remain a priority,” Sgt. Robert Kee, the acting unit commander of the RCMP’s Southeast District Major Crime Unit said. “Investigators are of the belief that there are individuals with knowledge of Mack’s death that have not yet spoken with police.”

“We continue to urge these people to come forward.”

People with information about Miguel Mack’s disappearance are asked to contact the RCMP’s Southeast District Major Crime Unit information line at 1-877-987-8477 and cite file 2023E-4964.
