Alberta RCMP renews efforts in decade-old search for Siksika woman

CALGARY – Alberta RCMP is renewing efforts to find a woman a decade after she disappeared.

Desiree Oldwoman of the Siksika first nation east of Calgary was 21 when she was last seen on Aug. 27, 2011.

There have been several search efforts involving air, land, and water near the area where she was last spotted.

Mounties say investigators have received and followed up on tips over the years, but have had no luck in finding Oldwoman or piecing together the circumstances of her disappearance.

Oldwoman, who has autism and is non-verbal, is believed to have left her home during the night and wandered off.

With the help of the Alberta RCMP Missing Persons Unit, investigators have released an “aged composite” image of what Oldwoman might look like today.

Anyone with information on Oldwoman or her disappearance can call police.
