Police have released new information regarding their search for a missing father and daughter in B.C.

Jesse and Violet Bennet were reported missing on January 23, three days after a court ordered Jesse to return 7-year-old Violet to her mom as per a joint custody agreement.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP reported at the time that they believed Jesse was "actively evading" police officers. They had been unable to contact him.

Now, in a statement released on February 18, investigators said they no longer believe that Jesse and Violet are travelling in a Honda Civic and may be linked to a different vehicle.

They are now looking for a 2001 black Dodge Dakota Sport club cab with a white canopy. The licence plate of the truck is not known.

Police describe Jesse as a 36-year-old Caucasian man, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing 160 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair. He possibly has a shaved head or is wearing a hat, and has a beard.

Violet is described as a Caucasian girl weighing 50 to 60 pounds, approximately 4 feet tall, with blue eyes and "big natural curly hair."

Anyone with information or knowledge of their whereabouts is asked to contact North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.
