The Sunshine Coast RCMP has launched a search for 51-year-old Joyelle Goldbard after her orange Subaru XV was found abandoned on a BC Ferries vessel on Thursday, July 2.

Goldbard's vehicle was discovered unclaimed when the Queen of Coquitlam arrived in Horseshoe Bay from Langdale at around 2:35 p.m. No one matching her description was found aboard the ferry, and no one claimed the vehicle. Her wallet, personal belongings, and cell phone were located inside the car.

Goldbard, a Roberts Creek resident, is 5'4" tall, weighs 150 lbs, and has brown eyes and short brown hair. She typically wears glasses or contact lenses. She has multiple tattoos, including a phoenix on the back of her neck and a full sleeve on her left arm. She was previously known as Kristi Brandt until 2021.

Family and friends told police they are very worried about her well-being. Anyone who has had contact with Goldbard or has information about her whereabouts is asked to call the Sunshine Coast RCMP at 604-885-2266.
