Natanis Merasty, 24, was last seen in the early hours of May 5, 2025, in Edmonton, Alberta. CCTV captured her at the Continental Inn on Stony Plain Road and later at a nearby 7-Eleven. Her family reported her missing on May 9, 2025, after she uncharacteristically stopped all communication.
Natanis is a member of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation from La Ronge, Saskatchewan. She is five feet nine inches tall, about 170 pounds, with long brown hair and brown eyes. Distinct tattoos include a cross on her forearm, a flower on the top of her right hand, and letters on her fingers. Her 2007 black Hyundai Tucson, Saskatchewan plates, became the focus of the investigation after it was tracked across Alberta, British Columbia (including a ferry to Vancouver Island) and back into Saskatchewan. The vehicle was found abandoned and crudely repainted silver on the James Smith Cree Nation on May 15, 2025; there were no confirmed sightings of Natanis with the vehicle during that trip.
Family and community members describe her as soft-spoken and shy, and searches have been organized by volunteers and relatives. The disappearance is being treated as suspicious and is being led by the Edmonton Police Service. Does anyone have information about Natanis, her 2007 Hyundai Tucson, or the vehicle’s movements between May 5 and May 15, 2025?
