MISSING WOMEN JOINT TASK FORCE NEWS MEDIA
UPDATE - 1:00 PM
MISSING WOMEN JOINT TASK FORCE
NEWS MEDIA UPDATE - THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2002
(CATE) Today's news media update brings you important new information and will
answer some media questions which have come up this week.
This is a very fluid investigation and the number of investigators working on
this file will change...when and how many investigators may be added to this
case has not been determined. When we make significant changes to the team size
or structure, we will let families know and then you.
The fact is...there is no definitive time frame attached to the search now being
conducted. The search will continue as long as it is deemed necessary to the
case. Right now we can say we expect to be on the farm search for at least one
year.
In its ongoing review, the Missing Women's Joint Task Force has found
descriptions of five additional women who match the profile of the existing 50
missing women. We are adding them to the list but need the public's assistance
in our attempts to locate the women.
(SCOTT) The families of the additional five women were advised that their loved
ones may be added to the existing list of missing women. The families of the
other missing women were contacted by investigators as well with this
information.
Two of the five women are historical missing cases and have come to our
attention as a result of our ongoing file review. The other three women were
reported missing to police as a result of the recent media coverage surrounding
the missing women investigation.
The five women are:
Anne Elizabeth WOLSEY, age 29, born December 20, 1972. Ms. Wolsey was last seen
in Toronto in November of 1999. She was reported missing to the Vancouver police
on January 1st, 1997.
Ms. Wolsey is described as being 5 feet one inch tall, weighing 128 lbs., having
long black hair, brown eyes, and a South African descent.
(CATE) The second woman is Yvonne Marie BOEN, age 34, born on November 30, 1967.
Ms. Boen was last seen on March 16, 2001 and reported missing to Surrey RCMP on
March 21st, 2001. She is described as being 5 feet, 10 inches tall, having
blonde hair and blue eyes, and being Caucasian. Ms. Boen has also used the last
name of 'ENGLAND.'
The third woman is Tiffany Louise DREW, age 27, and born on January 13, 1975.
Ms. Drew was last seen on December 31, 1999. She was reported missing to
Vancouver police on February 8th, 2002. Ms. Drew is described as being 4 feet 11
inches tall, weighing 95 pounds, and having long, wavy blonde hair and blue
eyes. She is Caucasian.
(SCOTT) The fourth woman is Maria Laura LALIBERTE, age 52, born November 7th,
1949. She was last seen on January 1st, 1997 and reported missing to Vancouver
police on March 8th, 2002. Ms. Laliberte is described as being 5 feet 6 inches
tall, has brown hair, brown eyes and is Native Indian. She often uses the alias
Kim KELLER.
The fifth woman is Ruby Anne HARDY, age 37, born on March 23, 1965. Ms. Hardy
was last seen in 1998 and was reported missing to Vancouver police yesterday,
March 27th, 2002. She is described as being 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing 131
pounds, having brown hair and eyes and being Native Indian. She often uses the
name 'Ruby GALLOWAY'.
(CATE) All five of these women match the profile of the missing women we are
looking for. We are asking anyone with information about these women to contact
the Missing Women Tip Line which is 1-877-687-3377.
(SCOTT) We can say that as a direct result of the recent media coverage
surrounding the missing women investigation, we have been contacted by eight
women who were reported missing in the past and who were a part of our file
review - which is different from the 50 women who are definitely missing. These
eight women contacted the tip line to assure investigators that they are safe.
Thank you, and now we can take a few questions...
