His girlfriend, who waited for his arrival, reported his missing report to the Columbia Valley RCMP and a local search team. According to the sources, the rescue team couldn’t find him on that day and restarted the search on Monday, June 20.

On Tuesday, the team continued the search, but the report of USARA on high water conditions hindered operations. The team is ready to carry on rescue after the water level decrease.

According to USARA, Peter could be alive and living in a safe place as he was an avid adventure racer for more than two decades. Peter, a former fixture at the longer expedition races, has been a racing competitor since 2007.

One of his favorite teams is Checkpoint Zero, but he has raced with various other teams over the years. The team members expressed gratitude to the RCMP and the local-search authorities for helping the search.

The USARA encouraged people to inform them if anyone finds information about Jolles and contact the Columbia Valley RCMP at 1-250-342-992 and cites file 022-1463.
