A park spokesperson told RadarOnline.com,  “There are deep forest areas where people have gone missing before and it is possible that he could have disappeared into one of these locations.

“The police and park rangers know the terrain very well though and they would have been able to make a sweep to try and locate him if he was inside the park.

“It also has beach areas and sea walls where the Pacific Ocean crests Stanley Park, so, it is possible he could have disappeared into the water too.”
