The Sûreté du Québec has resumed a full-scale search in the Maniwaki area this week for two young Indigenous women who went missing without a trace from their Kitigan Zibi homes in 2008.
When Maisy Odjick, then 16, and Shannon Alexander, 17, disappeared on Sept. 6, 2008, the teens left behind their wallets, purses, clothes and medication.
Maisy sent a friend a message on Facebook later that morning.
Since then, there have been no signs of the young women.
Shannon Alexander, 17, left, and Maisy Odjick, 16, disappeared in September, 2008, from the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation reserve near Maniwaki.
While several tips have come to police and the family over the years, investigators have come up empty until they received the latest unspecified information.
“We received new information so our investigators from the homicide unit are in Kitigan Zibi, meeting up with about 20 witnesses,” said SQ Lieut. Martine Asselin.
“Yesterday, the divers from the (SQ) were there to dive into Pitobig Creek. And (Wednesday) the search is around the (Désert) river.”
Police also expect to search the ground around the creek, using a front loader to move earth out of the way.
It was the first time the Pitobig Creek was searched since the teens went missing.
Homicide investigators, along with divers, and a forensics team are working with Kitigan Zibi police.
“(The investigation) was never closed, an investigation into a disappearance or a murder is never closed,” said Asselin. “We’re just going through the information we received.”
In the summer of 2014, Odjick’s aunt Maria Jacko received a tip on her website, findmaisyandshannon.com, that the two teens had been taken into New York State, a tip she passed on to authorities.
She also received suggestions from a psychic that the girls’ bodies may be buried in a forest, or near a lake or “56 miles north of Maniwaki” near a business district.
Dive teams search Pitobig Creek on the Kitigan Zibi First Nation on Tuesday, after police received a tip regarding the disappearance of teenagers Maisy Odjick and Shannon Alexander.
