Missing Canadian mother Nicole Andrus and newborn son found safe after week-long search

A mother and her month-old baby who were the subject of a days-long missing persons investigation in British Columbia have been found safe, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). On Saturday, July 18, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Fort St. John, British Columbia, announced in a statement that 31-year-old Nicole Andrus and her infant son, Krew Gordon, had been found safe.

“Fort St. John RCMP is pleased to advise that the 31-year-old woman and her one-month-old son reported missing on July 16, 2026, have been located safely,” the police force said. “The RCMP thanks the media and public for their assistance.”

The mother and son were first reported missing on Thursday, July 16, following concerns from family members. However, investigators said they had not actually been seen in person since July 9, according to the RCMP's initial news release, as reported by PEOPLE.


Earlier this week, the Fort St. John RCMP said, as per the outlet, Andrus and Krew were believed to be traveling in a green 2003 Ford Expedition with a British Columbia license plate as officers worked to locate them.

“Police and family are concerned for their well-being, as it is out of character for Nicole to be out of contact with her family,” authorities said at that time.

The Fort St. John RCMP did not share additional details about the circumstances surrounding the mother and son's disappearance or where they were located.
