Andria Lucille Meise, a 32-year-old mother of three, was last seen sometime between July and September 2010 in Grande Prairie, Alberta. The last confirmed sighting came from her uncle, who saw her at a Tim Hortons in Grande Prairie. Originally from Dawson Creek and raised mainly in Kelowna, Andria was known to travel frequently between Kelowna, Vancouver, Fort St. John, Dawson Creek and Grande Prairie and to hitchhike between cities.

Described by family as a resilient, adventurous free spirit, Andria faced a difficult childhood and periods in foster care. She struggled with substance abuse and led a transient, high-risk lifestyle; at times she worked as a server or housecleaner and at other times engaged in sex work to survive. She is Indigenous, with brown hair and brown eyes and a scar on her abdomen from childhood surgery.

The Grande Prairie RCMP did not open a missing persons file until November 2012, years after Andria’s family first grew concerned; her sister says attempts to report her missing began as early as 2006. The wide window for her last confirmed whereabouts and her transient lifestyle complicate the case. Does anyone who knew Andria or saw her in 2010 have information that could help locate her?
