RCMP on Vancouver Island are searching for a man and his daughter who were first reported missing on Jan. 23.

Investigators said Jesse Bennett is in breach of a child custody order.

Sgt. Trevor Busch of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP says there is no reason to believe Bennett's daughter, Violet, is in danger. However, she is supposed to be with her mother. Police believe Bennett is avoiding police to keep Violet with him.

They're asking the public to contact them if they see Bennett or Violet, but also if they see the car Bennett is believed to be driving: a grey 2005 Honda Civic, four-door sedan with the B.C. licence plate HL1 11E and distinctive Christian stickers on the back.

Busch says police have received a "large number" of possible sightings across Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and the southeast part of the province.

Anyone with information about where the pair may be is asked to contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522 or the police in their jurisdiction.

  • The 'Mag 7' is over, look to energy instead: David Bahnsen

    With a slew of tech earnings arriving this week and inflation remaining stubborn, many on Wall Street are focused on the "Magnificent Seven" — Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), and Tesla (TSLA) — which have driven rallies in the past.  The Bahnsen Group CIO David Bahnsen joins Market Domination to give insight into the recent slate of earnings and how the tech sector is evolving beyond previous top names. Bahnsen discusses the problem with investors relying on high valuations as a standard: "High volatility is a byproduct of a high multiple that is totally disconnected from reality. So expensive stocks get more expensive until they don't. But it's impossible to gauge, judge, and certainly time. But you saw already this year earnings season, Facebook just getting ripped apart yesterday and yet Google rallying today. The Mag Seven is over. It doesn't exist as a monolith anymore.
