Laura Suzanne Huebner, 45, flew from Saskatchewan to Vancouver Island and arrived at Victoria International Airport on April 24, 2022. She is believed to have traveled to Nanaimo and was last seen wearing a white jacket over a white hoodie and blue jeans. She is described as a Caucasian woman, 5 feet 8 inches, about 140 pounds, with blonde hair and hazel eyes.

Laura did not board her return flight to Regina scheduled for April 28, 2022. The last communication from her was a photograph of a boat sent to her father; friends said she may have gone sailing with a man she had recently met online. Family reported her missing to the Sidney RCMP on April 29, 2022; the investigation later moved to the Nanaimo RCMP after evidence suggested she was in their area. A boat matching the photo was later seen being towed by police to a Nanaimo marina.

Her disappearance was out of character according to friends and family, who said she was excited about planned costume work for a film and had been coping with recent personal losses. The case remains an active missing person investigation with no confirmed sightings since her arrival on Vancouver Island. Did anyone in Nanaimo or Victoria see Laura or the boat around April 24–28, 2022?
