North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP have released a new photo of Jesse Bennett, who was reported missing along with his daughter, Violet Bennett, shortly after he was ordered to return Violet to her mother's custody by a family law court last month.
Police say the photo of Jesse, 36, was taken on Jan. 19.
He was ordered to hand over Violet to her mother on Jan. 20 in a joint custody agreement, and the pair were later reported missing on Jan. 23.
RCMP have stated that they do not believe seven-year-old Violet is in any danger, but police are searching for the pair and the grey 2005 Honda Civic that Jesse is believed to be driving.
Mounties have also released photos of religious-inspired car decals that are located on the side and rear of the car.
"The 2005 Honda Civic that Jesse is believed to be driving has a (HOLY) sticker on one door, a (FIRE) sticker on the other door, as well as scripture-related decals on the rear," said Sgt. Trevor Busch of the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP in a release Thursday.
"We are hopeful someone may recognize either Jesse or have information about the whereabouts of his vehicle."
