More than a dozen investigators, a search and rescue team and air support are still searching for a missing Vulcan man.
77-year-old Otto "Bunty" Loose went missing after filling up his car at the Vulcan Petro Canada on Monday morning.

RCMP were called late Tuesday evening after he didn't return home to his farm outside of Vulcan on Monday night.

Bunty's vehicle was located on Wednesday in the Calgary community of Lakeview, more than 100 kilometres away from where he was last seen.

Bunty's daughter Lovanda Justinick says it's been very hard on the family for the past few days and says she is fearing the worst.

"Because he hasn't called to get his vehicle back, that's a grave concern to me," she says.
"It isn't like him to be away this long without anybody knowing, his phone was always his lifeline, he never left with out it and when you try to phone it's been going straight to voicemail."

Bunty suffers from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) which means he must use an inhaler, which Justinick says worries her more because his inhaler was found in his vehicle.

Justinick says it is possible that he had an altercation with someone.



RCMP investigator Frank Smart says the search and rescue team has swept the farm and Bunty's house looking for clues.
He says at this time there is no indication of foul play.

Bunty is described as 5' 7", 149 lbs with blonde-grayish hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information of Bunty's whereabouts is to call the Vulcan RCMP or Crimestoppers.
