CHILLIWACK (NEWS 1130) – Family and friends of an Abbotsford man who went missing on the Fraser River continue to look for the 29-year-old, after an extensive search on Wednesday turned up nothing.
Damian Dutrisac was last seen on Friday while fishing, before the boat he was on capsized and went under the fast-moving waters in Chilliwack.
RCMP say another fisherman made it to shore and was there for up to an hour and a half before a passing boater was able to rescue him from the riverbank.

Individual searches continue, with a new Facebook page called “Bring Damian Home” launched to help coordinate efforts.
A GoFundMe page for his fiancée has raised more than $7,000.
His fiancée made a heartbreaking Facebook post, asking him to come back to her somehow.
“My heart hurts so much thinking of what could have happened to him,” the post reads. “Thinking about all our life was suppose to be. Together forever. We we’re getting married soon. He was so excited to be a father. This has absolutely destroyed me. I’m not sure what to do or say. He was my whole life. I love him the most.”
