Nanaimo RCMP searching for missing woman, 30
Mounties are asking the public for help finding a 30-year-old woman missing in Nanaimo, B.C.
Police say Samantha Evans has not been heard from since Jan. 11. Her family contacted the Nanaimo RCMP one week later and a missing person's investigation was launched on Jan. 18.
Evans is believed to be homeless and is dealing with "significant personal issues," the Nanaimo RCMP said in a release. "As a result, her family and support network are concerned for her safety and well-being."
Evans is described as a white woman, standing 5'7" tall and weighing approximately 170 pounds. She has brown hair and brown eyes and may have a piercing below her lower lip.
Investigators say Evans is associated to a red 2004 Monte Carlo, which is parked in south Nanaimo with no licence plates attached.
The RCMP on Thursday released a photo of Evans, which they said was taken recently.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345.
