I'm not religious but I need prayers

Ok so RCMP called me back and said that he used a credit card in Chilliwack Hope. So he was there. They have notified police all the way from Vernon to Vancouver Island. He does have friends on the Island although they are far up north hunting for a couple weeks.

that might be a good lead
your grandfather might not know (or remember) his friends will be on a hunting trip and show up at their house anyway

I would ask the local police to keep an eye on the place
