There is some difficult news to report involving the family of CTV Ottawa news anchor Carol Anne Meehan.

Ottawa police issued a missing person statement Thursday for Greg Etue.

As many of you know, Greg is Carol Anne's husband and a well-known pharmacist.

He has not been seen since Monday - and he has not had any contact with his family.

The 56-year-old is described as 5'9 with a thin build. He was wearing a grey jacket, baseball hat, and winter boots.

He was driving a dark blue 2008 Pontiac Montana van, Ontario licence BCRV 772, with a black storage box on the roof.

If you see him you're asked to contact police.

We've been in contact with Carol Anne throughout this week. She has asked us to thank all of you for your prayers and good wishes.

She is also asking for privacy for her children's sake through this incredibly difficult time.

Carol Anne's CTV family is all thinking about her, and we know you at home are as well.
