Additional Information
Following Emma’s disappearance, a search team comprised of Emma’s family, friends, and volunteers scoured Victoria and the communities of Vancouver Island. Trails, parks and smaller islands were included. Eventually the target area widened to include the BC mainland and locations across Canada and the U.S.; wherever possible sightings were reported. Most sightings were determined to be women who resembled Emma. The Victoria PD dive team searched for evidence in the Victoria inner harbor but nothing was recovered.
There have been ongoing searches beginning at the last known intersection that Emma was dropped off which was Craigflower and Admirals way. Teams have also searched the immediate vicinity by Craigflower bridge, reeds around the Gorge waterway,
places that people normally wouldn’t pass through, wooded areas nearby with low traffic and sections of the Galloping Goose trail in Colwood. The sunny side of Thetis lake woods, a place we knew that Emma liked to visit, more specifically, areas that were less traveled and dead end roads have also been searched. The last spot searched between where Emma got out of the car and Colwood, were the deep wooded grounds of Royal Roads forest an remote areas in the center that are not well traveled.
In 2018 a man came forward with further details of Emma’s whereabouts shortly after her talk with the police. He claims that he picked her up and dropped her off at the intersection of Craigsflower and Admirals way. There have been many unconfirmed sightings of Emma but to
date her whereabouts are unknown.
Evidence Found: Prepaid debit card that she purchased was used at a Petro Canada on Sook Rd on December 3rd 2012. Man that used card was cleared of any involvement by police.
