Magdalene Mae Oerlemans, 42, known as Maggie and sometimes Mae Magdalene or Sparrow, disappeared from her Edmonton apartment building, Astoria Greens near 147 Avenue and 92 Street. She was last seen on July 13, 2022. Maggie is described as Indigenous, five feet tall, about 115 pounds, with long brown hair, green eyes, ears pierced top to bottom, and a Chinese dragon tattoo on her right shin. She was a mother of four.

Family members say Maggie struggled with addiction and had gone out of contact before, but this absence became unusually prolonged. She was not reported missing until March 22, 2023; by then her apartment had been emptied for unpaid rent and her belongings were gone. Investigators say her last known action was a phone call around 5:00 a.m. to her incarcerated boyfriend, Stephen Kashman; police could not review the voicemail and Kashman died before he could be interviewed. Police are also trying to account for a visit Maggie made to an acquaintance in the Capilano area days before she vanished and for the whereabouts of a black 2007 Mazda 6S she may have had access to.

Many questions remain about Maggie’s movements after July 13, 2022. If anyone knew Maggie, saw her in mid-July 2022, has information about that Mazda, or heard about the voicemail, please come forward.
