Missing senior may have gotten lost in fog while driving home on Christmas Day: Manitoba RCMP | CBC News
Family members of a 78-year-old woman believed to have gotten lost in the fog while driving home in southwestern Manitoba on Christmas Day have had no luck in their search for her alongside Mounties, police say.
Rita Anne Mawer, who goes by “Anne,” told her family that she was leaving Brandon for her home near the community of Alexander, which is about 25 kilometres west, at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Manitoba RCMP said in a Thursday news release.
Mawer is believed to have gotten lost in the fog in the area. She was reported missing to police three hours after she left Brandon.
She was last seen in her vehicle heading east on Provincial Road 259, toward the community of Rivers, around 9:30 p.m., police say.
Mawer’s vehicle is a dark green coloured 2014 Honda CRV with Manitoba licence plate GXC 479.
RCMP say officers and Mawer’s family have been unsuccessfully searching the roads in the area for the 78-year-old.
Anyone who has seen Mawer, or who may have information on her whereabouts, is asked to call 911 or Blue Hills RCMP at 204-726-7519.
