Kandice Singbeil’s family pleads for help in finding mother of two

Kandice Singbeil’s infant daughter is about to celebrate her first Christmas.

Her family is praying her mother makes it home to celebrate.

“Somebody knows something. No one just disappears,” Singbeil’s mother, Pauline, said during a press conference Monday at Saskatoon police headquarters.

The 33-year-old mother of two, known to her friends as Kae, has been missing since May 26. She was last seen that day in the earlymorning hours, riding her cruiser-style bicycle in downtown Saskatoon. After that, she vanished without a trace.

Pauline described her daughter’s “free spirit, generous heart and continuous laughter.” Although Kandice struggled with mental health and “dependency” issues off and on throughout her young life, never once did her mother imagine they would get the kind of phone call every family dreads.

“How could anyone fathom anything so dreadful?” Pauline said, holding back tears.

Police echoed her sentiments, saying that someone, somewhere, knows something.

“We believe there are people in this community that have information that police have not spoken too,” said acting Staff Sgt. Tyson Lavallee, who is investigating the case with the major crimes unit.

Lavallee said police have reviewed surveillance footage from the area where Singbeil was last seen and interviewed more than 50 people in connection with the case. He said so far no one has been “eliminated” as a suspect.

He said the toughest part of the seven-month investigation has been getting first hand information and separating rumours from fact.

Singbeil was last known to be staying at an apartment on Third Avenue known as the Traveller’s Block.

Singbeil is originally from Swift Current. She is described as 5-feet4, 166 pounds with shoulderlength brown and blond hair and brown eyes. She wears glasses and her lower lip is pierced.
