Kelowna RCMP put out call for tips to mark 14th year since Aaron Derbyshire disappeared

It’s been 14 years since Aaron Derbyshire disappeared from downtown Kelowna.

Derbyshire was last seen at Level nightclub on Leon Avenue around closing time on Sept. 30, 2006. His friends left at about 1:40 a.m. to watch an altercation happening outside and did not see him as the club emptied. Derbyshire was reported missing on Oct. 3 after he failed to show up for a family outing.

Appeals have been made in past years on the anniversary of his disappearance as police keep the file open.
