🚨 Major update regarding a black t-shirt that was found by search teams in the days after Nick went missing - the RCMP have confirmed that this black H&M brand t-shirt does belong to Nick Marion. 🚨

Nicholas Marion, a 38-year-old man, went missing from a house in Youbou, BC, on June 30, 2024, after telling his wife he was going for a walk at around 6:30 a.m. He left without his phone, wallet, or ID and was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, black pants, and black Retro Jordan 11 shoes. There have been unconfirmed sightings of Nick on the day he disappeared near various locations, including Pine Point Campsite and Cowan Road, with a final sighting on July 1, at 4:30 p.m., on a beach. His wife, Dory Marion, has expressed deep concern, citing his recent mental health challenges following his mother's death and dramatic behavioral changes. Despite formal searches being called off, Nick's family continue to organize volunteer efforts to find him across Vancouver Island and beyond. Nicholas is described as 6 feet tall, 170 pounds, with numerous tattoos featuring Egyptian and spiritual symbols on his arms.
