Missing sister in Winnipeg area. FOUND!!!

(1/10) > >>

Sallysmart:
Hello all. I am new here and I hope to find my sister.
She went missng sometime after 1998 when she stopped calling any of the family. She is Blondish, usually short hair, 5.5ft, light skin, and would have been about 27 if she went missing then and would be 47 now. She had a bad habit of not calling anyone for a year or so but hasnt called anyone in the family since about 1998 or 99 as far as we can last figure. We have hopes she is still alive but some doubts too. Last seen in Winnipeg around the Portage ave area. She did not live on the streets usually but may have ended up there if work and money became a problem which is a good possibility.
She was not the kind to work the streets but was a street smart kind of person. She had an interest in mechanical stuff. For family protection I am going to give her initials only here for now till I talk to the rest of the family. If you know her please let me know. Her initials are S M. She always dressed in a boyish kind of way, jeans or cords and boots or hushpuppy kind of shoes, (comfort shoes) and sometimes died her hair black.
She road a bike often or walked even tho she had a licence and sometimes a car.
Last we seen of her she was living in a low income apartment building in the busy part of the city I believe near Portage area. My family hopes to hear from her soon or from someone about her where abouts. Please let me know if you know anything about her, I will say this and its not nice but she'd be seen as a hobo kinda girl and has lived in campers and possibly tents before due to rent costs and unability to cover it. She was also a collecter of gadgets and odd things. Ok that is my bit for now, hoping someone will be able to help me. And thanks Chris for helping me with my membership.

Hi Sallysmart, and welcome.

I hope someone reading will recognize this person as your sister. You've included a lot of helpful information, but it would be better if you could include her full name, and not just initials. Perhaps after you talk to your family you can change the information?

Sallysmart:
I know but right now the family doesnt know I am going this route and not sure how it would be taken, our family has lived in many places in Canada holding on to many friends along the way and I wouldnt want someone to call my mother and start with that "Oh I am sorry to hear" stuff, is hard enough on her and my dad as it is now. If anyone does know her tho they will know her name by those initials unless she changed her name which would make it harder anyway and that too is possible cos she talked about it often when she was younger. What I have said so far will stand out to anyone who has crossed her path and also another thing, she can get uspet easily too if triggered, she was dealt a crappy hand of cards at one point in her life and was finding things hard to cope with.
She is a very standout kind of person just cos she is tomboyish like, also has a distinct walk like she is always headed somewhere in a hurry and her standing posture is not all that good.
One more thing, she wears perscrip glasses and usually shaded.
Thanks for your reply so soon.

Sallysmart:
BTW, I messed up on the dates and have changed them above, sorry fingers doing their own thing with the keys.

Sallysmart:
One other quick question I would like to ask. I used to be able to find cold case Jane Doe sites for Canada that I would go on and see if I could recongnise her from reconstructed photos and such of jane doe people. I cant seem to find the site anymore. Does anyone know if we can still access such a site for Canada? I have found several for the US but I dont believe she would go across the line.
