Nadia Atwi, 32, disappeared from her Edmonton home in the early morning of December 8, 2017. She was last seen at about 6:30 a.m. in the area of 48 Street and 146 Avenue. Later that day her vehicle was found in a ditch in Rundle Park overlooking the North Saskatchewan River with her phone, wallet and other personal items inside, but she was not with the car.

Nadia was described as 5 feet 8 inches and 170–180 pounds, with brown eyes and long dark brown hair. Reports say she may have been wearing dark clothing, possibly a three-quarter-length dark jacket, and may or may not have been wearing her hijab. She required medication and might have been confused or disoriented; she may also have been missing one or both shoes when she vanished.

The Edmonton Police Service led an extensive search with aerial support and hundreds of volunteers. Nadia’s family, including her mother and coworkers, have continually appealed for information. The circumstances remain unexplained and the investigation is open. If anyone has information about Nadia’s movements on December 8, 2017, please come forward.
