Jody Rae Hockett was 33 when she vanished from Grande Prairie, Alberta, in the late hours of February 22, 2009. She left a friend’s apartment intending to return but never did. The last confirmed sighting placed her outside the York Hotel downtown, getting into an older-model white car. Her purse and phone were left with the people she had been with earlier that night.

At the time she was about 5 feet 5 inches, with blue eyes, a fair complexion and strawberry-blonde dyed hair. She was last seen wearing jeans, a tank top, a black zip-up hoodie and fur-trimmed high-heeled shoes. Distinguishing marks included a heart tattoo on her buttocks, a snake on the right side of her pelvis, tribal art across her lower back and a scar on her left thigh. She had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had stopped taking her medication before she disappeared.

No confirmed contact has been made since that night. Her family, who point out she stayed in regular contact with loved ones and wouldn’t likely leave without belongings, believes she would not have voluntarily disappeared and has urged the case be treated as a homicide investigation. No charges or publicly named suspects have been announced. If anyone knew Jody, saw her that night, or has information about the white car she entered, please come forward.
