While Jared Szabo of Revelstoke was found in Upper Arrow Lake by civilian search members who had been actively searching for Szabo since he was reported missing on Aug. 3.

Ellsworth went missing near the same time as Szabo but Cpl. Dan Moskaluk not confirm if the two missing person reports were connected.
