The North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP is seeking public assistance to locate Jesse Bennett and his 7-year-old daughter Violet who were reported missing yesterday afternoon.
On January 23, 2022 North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP received a report from family that Jesse and Violet Bennett, 7, were missing from their residence which is located in the North Cowichan/Duncan, BC area.
On January 20 Victoria Family Law Court set out a Joint Custody agreement and ordered Jesse Bennett to return Violet the same day to her mother.
To date, police and family have not been able to make contact with Jesse or Violet Bennett. We believe that Jesse Bennett is actively evading police and is in breach of the custody order, requiring him to return Violet to her mother, states Sgt. Trevor Busch of the North Cowichan RCMP.
Jesse Bennett is described as a Caucasian man, 36-years-old, 5'10", 160 lbs, with blue eyes and brown hair (possibly shaved head or wearing hat), with a beard.
Violet Bennett is described as a Caucasian girl, 7-years-old, approximately 4’ft tall, weighing 50-60 pounds, with blue eyes and big natural curly hair.
