In a press release, RCMP said Kozak was last seen at work in Forestburg, Alta. on Friday and Ferrier in Galahad on the same day.

According to a Facebook post written by Kozak’s brother Michael Kozak Monday afternoon, the couple were last heard from in the Hinton, Alta. area Saturday afternoon. A few hours later Michael updated the post confirming that the RCMP had discovered the couple’s car parked in the Astoria Parking Lot on Mount Edith Cavell.
