Rachael Bagnall, 25, and her boyfriend Jonathan Jette, 34, disappeared while hiking in rugged terrain.
In early September 2010, Bagnall and Jette were living in the Lower Mainland and planned a two-day hike in the mountains north of Pemberton.
Two days after they were expected back, authorities found Jette’s car parked on the Spetch Creek forest service road.
The vehicle, a four door Toyota Echo, contained his cell phone. Records show Jette made no calls after September 3.
Bank statements reveal his last purchase was at a Squamish Tim Hortons on the morning of September 4.
An extensive air search was conducted for the hikers involving multiple helicopters working three at a time. Numerous search and rescue and police teams also scoured the mountainous region all without success.
This may have been a back country accident but so far no evidence of the couple has ever turned up, including the camping gear they carried with them.

They had enough food and supplies – for two or three days. Problem is — they’ve been missing for ten days. 34-year-old Jonathan Jette and 25-year-old Rachael Bagnall were last seen near Pemberton, and search officials admit they’re becoming increasingly worried about them. Aaron McArthur reports. **Original air date: 2010**
