Claudette Priscilla June Osborne, 21, of Norway House Cree Nation, was last seen in Winnipeg on July 25, 2008. Fifteen days before she vanished she had given birth to her fourth child, a daughter named Patience. In the hours before she disappeared Claudette made urgent calls to family saying she was in bad company and had escaped an attempted assault at the Lincoln Motor Hotel. Her final known contact was from a payphone at Selkirk Avenue and King Street at about 6:30 a.m. on July 25.

Early police messaging incorrectly placed her last seen location in an area associated with sex work; that error was later corrected after phone card records pointed investigators to the hotel and the payphone. By the time hotel surveillance was sought it had been recorded over. In 2012 the case was assigned to Project Devote, and investigators say people in the community may hold crucial information.

The family has held annual vigils at the corner where she was last heard from; her mother has searched ditches and her sister Bernadette Smith has become an advocate for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. If anyone has information about Claudette’s movements on July 24–25, 2008, please come forward.
