The 30-year-old has been missing since Dec. 4, 2022 and was last seen in Williams Lake.
“His family and the Nuxalk Nation wish to make an important public announcement regarding his disappearance,” noted a joint Nuxalk Nation and Heiltsuk Nation media advisory.

Schooner is described as an Indigenous male, medium build, six feet tall, 161 pounds with brown hair and eyes.
