This just showed up in my facebook feeds.  
 
"Gerald & Vera Barber of Neepawa, Manitoba have been missing since 2 PM, August 5, 2017. Mom picked my Dad up from the hospital yesterday afternoon to go for a drive and they haven't been seen since. If anyone has seen them or their green/grey Honda CRV licence # VAA 650 ANYWHERE please private message me via Facebook or contact your local RCMP. We are hoping they just had vehicle problems and are unable to help themselves. This is NOT NORMAL for them to disappear without telling their family. Please please share."  
 
 
 
I'll try to add the photos to the discussion.

Is there an RCMP statement to link?

Not that I've found. But it's been about 24 hours & a long weekend.  
 
I usually wait for a statement but considering the poster on FB is the daughter of the people missing, their age, weather & unusual conditions mentioned I'd like to know that everything is being done to help bring them home instead of waiting. My gut says this isn't some odd hoax or scam.
