Police also described her as a “high risk person” who has fled from family. Before leaving, she told her family that she loved them. She also left all her belongings behind including her cell phone, identification, wallet, handbag and bank card.
Members of the North Shore Rescue, Bowen Fire department, RCMP Marine unit, Coast Guard, and Metro Parks officials pressed two Talon helicopters, an RCMP Air 1 helicopter, and dog teams in search for her, but were unsuccessful in tracking her.
Rescue teams scoured various trails around Bowen, canvassed neighbourhoods, searches shorelines, but no clues were found. Search is likely to continue today.
