The search for a missing Alberta man came up empty on the weekend.

Friends and family of Curtis Wilson were in the North Okanagan Saturday and Sunday to search for the man who went missing late last month.

Wilson's vehicle was found abandoned near the south end of Cosens Bay on Kalamalka Lake. The body is his friend, Shane Letkeman, 32, was discovered in Kalamalka Lake, near Cosens Bay, late in June.

Police believe Wilson's body is in the lake and the Vernon RCMP dive team conducted an extensive search of the area where Letkeman was found, but there was no sign of Wilson.

Police also conducted a ground search of the area, but have since suspended both water and ground efforts to find Wilson.

Curtis Wilson's sister, Shanna Wilson, organized a ground search this weekend near Cosens Bay, but said on her FaceBook page, “Unfortunately, we still have no sign of Curtis, but the search is far from over. I'm still working on more resources to help look for him and I will keep everyone posted.”

Shanna thanked not only friends and family who joined the search, but local as well.

“Thank you to all the volunteers we had this weekend. All the travellers that came, the snacks and water people brought, the amazing family that offered their driveway for parking and brought us fresh sandwiches, my cousin bringing her dog out, thank you for everyone's help,” she said.

Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Curtis is asked to call police at 250-545-7171.
