The Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit has taken over the investigation into a missing 32-year-old woman, Shannon White.
In a Thursday afternoon update, police say they are now treating her disappearance as suspicious.
Shannon White was last seen around 8 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 1 when she is believed to have left for work in her Black Jeep TJ. That Jeep was recovered in downtown Kamloops the following day though there has been no sign of the missing woman.
“For Shannon to have missed work and not be in contact with friends and family, is completely out of character for her,” Cpl. Dave Marshall of the Kamloops RCMP Serious Crimes Unit said, in a statement.
“Currently, we believe she departed her Lower Sahali residence in her Jeep around 8 am on Monday Nov. 1. Shannon was supposed to be at her job at Kamloops Hyundai on Notre Dame at 8:30 am, but she did not arrive. We later located her Jeep parked on Nicola Street near Third Avenue on Nov. 2.”
Marshall says when Mounties found the Jeep, a pink flower that is usually above her spare tire (pictured below) was not there.
Police are still asking people with information about White or her vehicle to get in touch with them, especially if they have dash cam or surveillance video in the Lower Sahali, Notre Dame, and downtown area of Kamloops.
“We are also requesting the public, including Shannon’s large Jeep community, to be on the lookout for the pink flower that she had on her Jeep,” Marshall added.
White is a white woman with fair skin who stands five-foot-five with blonde hair and green eyes.
She is known to go off-roading in her black 1997 Jeep TJ with BC licence plate KA0 22N, a turquoise palm print decal on the driver’s side mirror, and a turquoise ‘Wander Lust’ decal on the passenger side of the hood with a circular pattern between the two words.
Anyone with information on White’s whereabouts is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 and reference file number 2021-38386.
