B.C. Mounties seek investigative help in woman’s disappearance
CALGARY Mounties in B.C. have turned to their Major Crimes Unit to investigate the disappearance of a woman believed to have been bound for Calgary in March.
Caitlin Brandy Potts, 27, was reported missing to Enderby RCMP on March 1. She had last made contact with family and friends eight days earlier, when she told them she was moving to Calgary.
RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said the force hasn’t ruled out foul play in Potts’ disappearance, prompting the need to bring in seasoned investigators.
“All missing-person cases are treated as high-priority investigations. In Caitlin’s case, the assistance of (Major Crimes) at this point is reflective of our commitment to fully determine her current whereabouts and what has occurred to date,” he said in a statement.
“The involvement of foul play in regards to Caitlin’s case has not been eliminated.”
Three weeks after she was reported missing, Potts’ mother, Priscilla Potts, made a desperate appeal through the RCMP for information on her missing daughter.
“Caitlin is 27 years old and leads a socially active life. Her lack of online communication with friends and loved ones is out of character for my daughter,” she said, adding her daughter was originally from Alberta but moved to B.C. in the fall of 2015.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP detachment at 250-545-7171 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
