Fourteen-year-old Noelle O’Soup lived in Port Coquitlam, B.C., but she originally hailed from the 1,500-member Key First Nation in southern Saskatchewan.
“Noelle was a young member of our community," said Key First Nation band councillor Solomon Reece.
"From what I understand, she was in (B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development) care bouncing from home to home, which is unfortunately a reality for many of not only children in our community, but children in the Indigenous community in a broad sense,” Reece added.
O’Soup disappeared from her Port Coquitlam home on May 21, 2021.
“I do know that our current chief, who was a councillor at the time, was put on a task force along with the Vancouver Police looking at identifying where she was,” said Reece, who added the band also offered a $10,000 reward for Noelle’s safe return.
“Unfortunately, that just wasn’t enough to find her.”
