Family, Bear Clan desperately search for missing Pimicikamak woman last seen in Winnipeg
CBC
Family members and volunteers with the Bear Clan citizen patrol spent Saturday searching for a missing woman from northern Manitoba who was last seen in Winnipeg earlier this month.
Jessie Alexia McKay, from Pimicikamak — also known as Cross Lake Cree Nation, a community about 530 kilometres north of Winnipeg — was reported missing to Winnipeg police on Monday.
The 22-year-old was seen on Sunday, Sept. 5, near Redwood Avenue and Main Street in the city's North End.
McKay's father, Leonard Ross, dropped her off at a birthday party that day. She called her sister Kristen around 10 p.m., saying she would bring back some birthday cake, but she never made it home.
"I'm glad people came to come and help us look for my daughter," Ross said Saturday.
"It's very hard. I can't imagine sometimes where she is and what's happening with her."
McKay's uncle Christopher Ross was also among the group searching the city.
