Rena Zacher can91裸聊视频檛 find her 34-year-old son Cory Westcott.

The police can91裸聊视频檛 locate him either, even though she says they have used ground crews, dogs, a helicopter and a dive team.

91裸聊视频淭his is the worst nightmare I have ever experienced,91裸聊视频� she told the Star on Thursday after her son had been missing for 24 days.

Westcott, who moved to Nelson from Vancouver last summer, went to visit a friend on Aug. 31. She says the friend has since told police that yes, Westcott was there, but he left the same night.

The morning of Sept. 1, Zacher, a rural Nelson resident, says she woke up worried about Westcott but didn91裸聊视频檛 know why. She tried to contact him, but with no response.

Over the next few days, some of his friends told her they hadn91裸聊视频檛 seen him since Aug. 31 and that he had been missing appointments. 91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 not like him,91裸聊视频� his mother says.

Police found his truck, a grey 2007 Toyota Tundra crew cab pickup with the keys still in it, parked by the Kootenay Canal and sent a dive team out.

91裸聊视频淎nd there was no sign of him there,91裸聊视频� says Zacher. 91裸聊视频淚n my heart, I don91裸聊视频檛 think he is there.91裸聊视频�

Zacher says she keeps asking questions and 91裸聊视频淚 have found out more and more details every time I talk to people. And so I believe the truth will come out at some point. But I don91裸聊视频檛 think my son ever was where his truck was.91裸聊视频�

She is happy with the work of the police.

91裸聊视频淭he police have been awesome. I have to say they91裸聊视频檝e been just great.91裸聊视频�

Westcott moved to Nelson to be closer to his mother and sister, and to get a fresh start in life, Zacher says.

91裸聊视频淗e was trying to find his place here, find where he wanted to be. He attended church here. He had signed up for a church group just recently. He was very much a Christian. He couldn91裸聊视频檛 eat unless he prayed and blessed his food. He was a strong believer in God.91裸聊视频�

Westcott was doing odd jobs but otherwise had not found work in Nelson.

91裸聊视频淗e actually wanted to find investors and and start a facility for drug users and addicts, because that was something very close to his heart. He just wanted to make a change in the world in that direction.91裸聊视频�

She said her son had problems with drugs years ago.

91裸聊视频淗e was doing really well now and he was healthy. He attended the gym every day. He had plans for his future.91裸聊视频�

Zacher says she enjoyed her son91裸聊视频檚 company.

91裸聊视频淢y son is a character. He has a very good sense of humour. He likes to joke. But he also had a heart of gold. If he saw you down the street and you looked like you needed something, he91裸聊视频檇 be the first one to offer you $5 if you needed it. He was very, very good-hearted.91裸聊视频�

The police investigation is still open and Zacher is living with a mix of hope and dread.

91裸聊视频淚 just want to find him. I don91裸聊视频檛 really think that he91裸聊视频檚 in this world any more. But I want to find out.91裸聊视频�
