When Owen Weld was found on a logging road near Cowichan Lake Sunday evening and offered a ride, he initially declined the lift — he was unaware of what day of the week it was, never mind that he was the subject of a massive five-day search.
The campers fed him and charged his phone and, once he was in cellphone range, Owen phoned his dad, Bill Tucker, who works for B.C. Transit. Owen was released from Cowichan District Hospital just after noon Monday, happy to be going home to be with his family, to eat and have a shower, said his mother.
“It wrecks me thinking about what he went through,” said Diana. “By Friday night, I was thinking we weren’t going to find him.”
