Toronto police searching for woman who has been missing for 17 years
CBC
Toronto police announced on Monday that investigators are trying to track down a missing woman who was last seen in 2004.
Anne-Marie LaForest was was known to frequent the Greater Toronto Area, police said in a news release. Det. Const. Sheena Cannon said LaForest's family members last spoke with her around 17 years ago, and they had made attempts to try and locate her through the years. The family reported her missing in 2019. "It wasn't out of the norm for the family to go in and out [of] touching base with her or speak with her as she moved around," Cannon told CBC Toronto. "It wasn't until 2019 that they believed that something was more wrong because they could not locate her, and then they contacted police." Investigators said LaForest may have worked as a hairdresser in Peterborough and Buckhorn, Ont. As part of Monday's news release, police have released sketches of what LaForest would look like today in the hope that someone will recognize her.
