******UPDATE********

Well she is still missing, I spoke to my co worker today, we were both crying in the street, Its been 10 days.

There has been no activity on her credit card and cell phone activity.

She has done drugs so the police involvement is little

Her car was in the repair shop hence why she had a rental car.

They are extremely worried as her boyfriend put her in the hospital and he just got out of jail friday and she went missing saturday so they fear the worse.

Her oldest kid is nine years old. (she has 3)

They changed the location of where she was last seen with her debit card Quality Inn West Harvest at 178 St. and Stony Plain Rd
as the cellphone last know location was crossfield/calgary.

Please anyone keep your eyes out.

THANK YOU!

Missing woman alert took too long, family says CBC News

The family of a missing Fort Saskatchewan woman says the RCMP didn't alert the public fast enough about her disappearance.
 
Dana Jane Turner, 31, was last seen on Aug. 14. RCMP issued a missing persons bulletin Wednesday night.
 
Turner's mother, Wendy Yurko, believes RCMP should have acted sooner to help find her daughter.
 
"The most frustrating part is being told by RCMP officers in Fort Saskatchewan is that they've already done everything they can when I don't feel that almost anything was done," she said. "I do not feel that anyone took this seriously."
 
Dana Jane Turner, 31, was last seen on Aug. 14 in Edmonton. RCMPTurner was last seen at 7 a.m. on Aug. 14 at the Quality Inn West Harvest in Edmonton with an unknown man. She was driving a Discount rental car, a 2011 blue four-door Mazda A3I, with Alberta licence plate J22840.
 
Turner left her mother's home without calling her three children currently visiting relatives outside of Alberta, and without her thyroid medication.
 
"She's really sick... and it's left at her mom's. She hasn't had it in 12 days, so she's dying right now without it," her friend Rachelle Leger said. "She could have been saved in the first couple of days, but not enough was done I don’t think."
 
Turner is described as approximately 5 foot 7, about 155 pounds with long, curly medium brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans.
 
Anyone with information about Turner's whereabouts is asked to call Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at 780-992-6100 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

RCMP probing woman’s disappearance from city

Fort Saskatchewan RCMP and family members are hoping the public’s help can bring a happy ending to the search for a 31-year-old woman last seen Aug. 14.
 
Dana Jane Turner was last seen at the Quality Inn West Harvest in Edmonton around 7 a.m. with an unknown man. She was reported missing Aug. 16.
 
RCMP spokesperson Const. Martin Miville said police are working with her family, who consider Turner’s disappearance “very out of character”.
 
“We are very concerned,” said Miville, adding tips have started trickling in during the last few days about Turner’s possible whereabouts.
 
Miville would not say if police believe Turner met with foul play or what role the man she was last seen with might have played in her disappearance two weeks ago.
 
Anyone with information is asked to call Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at 780-992-6100 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).
 
What is known
 • Dana Turner was reportedly driving a rental car from Discount, a blue Mazda A3I with four doors and Alberta licence plate # J22840 when she disappeared.
 
• Friends have created a Facebook site, The Search for Dana Turner, which had over 300 members and hundreds of posts by Thursday.
 
• Dana Turner is described as standing five-foot-seven, weighing 155 pounds, with medium brown curly hair. The mother of three was last seen wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans.
 
• Posts on the Facebook site dedicated to her say her cellphone’s last known location was in the Crossfield or Calgary area, and her credit cards have not been used.

This has been a quiet case!
Dana was an adult and police probably waited the customary 48 hours. Then lost her trail.
Her boyfriend gets out of jail on a Friday ... was he jailed for putting her in the hospital in the first place? That wasn't clear.
Dana goes missing Saturday, day after he gets out of jail.
Was the man with the tattoo her boyfriend?
Were the three children his and hers?
The children are out of province. Paternal grandparents? Saskatchewan or further east?
Seems they (or Dana) at least were headed in the direction of where the children were?
Since Calgary no further use of Dana's cell. She didn't have her charger along and the battery died?
Since Edmonton no activity on her bank card.
Have the police contacted the people where the children were staying?
Can't the rental agency track the car for the police?
 

Perhaps Dana removed enough cash from the bank ATM so she wouldn't need to bother stopping often?
Or perhaps her boyfriend/ex decided to pay back?

Have police put out an APB on Dana and/or the vehicle?
I hope Dana is able to escape harm until someone can find her.

It is the fact that she was with a boyfriend :who just got out of jail, that alarms me. Perhaps there were people who wanted to "even a score" with him. Whatever it is, I saw a plea from her sister last evening on the news, and Dana is well loved, and her sister stated that Dana would never abandon her children.
The family is desperate in finding her.

It says her last cell phone's last known location was Calgary/Crossfield.  Crossfield is almost 50 km north of Calgary.   Back in the days I lived out that way, it was all farms around that area.
It does not sound good that Dana has not contacted home and her kids.

[SAP]

Another family and set of friends going through the turmoil of a lost loved one.

If some payback was intended towards the person who just got out of jail, family would have heard from Dana by now, imo.
Was she on her way to pick up her children I wonder? She wouldn't take a stranger, so was it the bf then?
We have no info how far police searched or investigated and there's not anything more given out as to why she would be in Calgary. If her cell was last used in Calgary area, whom did she call or receive a call from? There's nothing to even speculate on except people keep an eye out for the rental and for Dana. I would hope police did put out an APB on Dana.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the children, family and friends. I will certainly keep an eye for Dana, however I would think she was headed away from this area.

A little more info from police:

http://www.edmontonsun.com/2011/08/26/mounties-release-more-details-in-missing-case

RCMP are hoping more specific details about a rental car that a missing Fort Saskatchewan woman was driving will lead to her whereabouts.

Dana Turner, 31, was last seen Aug. 16 at the Quality Inn West Harvest on 178 Street and Stony Plain Road around 7 a.m. in the company of an unknown man with tattoos.

Police now say the Discount rental car that Turner was driving was a blue Mazda 3, similar to that pictured. There is a discount rental car sticker on the back bumper.

The last location her cell phone was used was downtown Calgary.

Turner is described as approximately five-foot-seven, weighing 155 pounds with medium brown long wavy hair and brown eyes.

She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black jacket with a white cross and the word “Victorious” written on the back.

The licence plate number of the rental car, which she was last seen driving, is J22 840.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to call 780-992-6100 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Since Crossfield was first mentioned, might that be where the call came from to her cell, or else her cell was used to call Crossfield?

Picture of similar Mazda in link above.

I've taken the liberty of posting the picture of the car, which is from the link provided above by SAP.

Mazda 3 - 4 doors sedan (not the hatchback model). Blue in colour Alberta licence plate # J22840. Discount Car rental sticker on back bumper.

Thank you, Debbie.

[jellybean]

There was also a correction of sorts in the last appeal.  She was not seen with her bf at the hotel.  She was seen with a stranger. Who reported this? -- Can we assume that she was known at this hotel and perhaps it was an employee or a patron who knew her??  Someone reported it.

Where are you Dana? PLease contact your family. If you were upset about something, kindly contact them and let them know that you are okay.  They are worried sick about you.

Edmonton gas station video could shed light on woman’s disappearance

  By Julianna Cummins, edmontonjournal.com August 30, 2011 2:05 PM

EDMONTON - Surveillance video from a west-Edmonton gas station is the latest clue police have in the case of a missing Fort Saskatchewan woman.

Dana Jane Turner, 31, was reported missing Aug. 16 to Fort Saskatchewan RCMP. At first, police believed she was last seen about 7 a.m. Aug. 14 at the Quality West Harvest Hotel in Edmonton.

Surveillance video taken about 5 p.m. that same day shows Turner at a Domo Gas station at 17765 98A Ave., RCMP Sgt. Tim Taniguchi said.

In the images from the video, Turner is wearing a dark jacket with a Celtic cross on one sleeve. The jacket also has a large patch on the front.

“It gives people a chance to see something to tweak their memory a bit,” Taniguchi said. It appears she is alone when she enters the gas station.

Turner was last seen driving a Discount Car rental, a blue 2011 four-door Mazda A3 with Alberta licence plate J22840. Police say she was with an unknown man.

Turner is about five-foot-seven, with a medium build, light brown long, wavy hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans.
