RCMP in Fort St. John activate Amber Alert for two missing children

Mar 26, 2022 | 1:20 PM

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — RCMP in British Columbia say an Amber Alert has been activated as they search for a four-year-old child and his baby sister who were allegedly abducted on Thursday.

The Mounties say Liam Bellamy and his 10-month-old sister Myra went missing from the Fort St. John area and their father Jason Dalrymple is the suspect.

Police say they have reason to believe the children’s 23-year-old mother, Dawn Bellamy, was also taken against her will from their home.

They say the suspect and victims were thought to be travelling in a 2004 olive green Jeep Grand Cherokee with the licence plate HT1 84A, and it’s believed Dalrymple was heading east, possibly to Ontario.

Liam is described as having short, dark brown hair with brown eyes, while his baby sister Myra has very light hair with blue-hazel eyes.

RCMP say their 36-year-old father is balding and often wears hats or toques, and he has a moustache or goatee that’s light brown and reddish in colour.

He is described as being five feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds.

The children’s mother is described as Indigenous with dark brown hair, brown eyes, standing five feet five inches tall and potentially wearing blue glasses.

Police are asking the public to call 911 if they see the children or the suspect.

They say Dalrymple should not be approached.

Two dogs and a cat may also be with him, police say.
