Victoria police have extended their search for a missing Victoria man to the United States.

VicPD Missing Persons investigators are working with U.S. law enforcement agencies, including the Port Angeles Police Department, in an effort to find missing 52-year-old Harold Backer.

VicPD detective Sgt. Kris Rice said they continue to receive tips.

"Tips are important in a missing persons file like this and sometimes it is the smallest detail that helps. It could be something that appears insignificant that help us bring Harold safely home to his family," Rice said.

Backer has been missing since Nov. 3.

He is described as a Caucasian man at six feet, three inches tall with a medium build. He has green eyes and greying hair. He was believed to be wearing a red cycling jersey, black riding pants and possibly carrying a black backpack and could be riding his black Cannondale road bike.

if you see Backer, you are asked to call 911 or 250-995-7654.
