The family of a missing Calgary woman is speaking out, as the search for her intensifies.
“It’s just so crazy that it’s her that is missing,” Steven Fahlman, the brother of 25-year-old Amy Elizabeth Fahlman, told CityNews.
He says it’s been hard for his family to wrap their heads around her disappearance.
On the morning of Friday, Sept. 29, she headed north of Calgary for a scenic drive, something she had done many times before.
Fahlman was last seen leaving her home in a cul-de-sac on Hawkland Place and Hawkland Circle that day and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
In a statement, police confirm a missing persons investigation has been opened, and at this point, they don’t believe the woman is a victim of foul play.

“This was something that happened someone else, this isn’t something that happens to you,” said Steven. “We were just shocked– and this is something that is so, so, so out of character for Amy, she’s very cautious, very good at staying in contact.”
Fahlman’s cellphone last pinged a tower on Friday, around Highway 22 and Township Road 280.
Police are asking drivers who were travelling along Weedon Trail north of Cochrane between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to check their dashcam footage for images of Fahlman’s car — a 2010 Nissan Murano with significant hail damage.
As the days go by, Steven says the search radius is growing larger and he is hopeful anyone who might have information or seen his sister’s vehicle will call police at 403-266-1234 or anonymously through CrimeStoppers.
“Honestly, we do not know a whole lot,” he said. “We know that she went out for a drive in the countryside — that’s what she told people at the house before she left, and then she just didn’t come back.”
Steven says all he and his family want is to locate their loved one.
“Amy’s missing and we want to find her. So it’s just been absolutely crazy,” he said. “We just need to narrow down where she could’ve been.”
