Freda Alvina Whiteman was 50 when she was last seen in Edmonton, Alberta, on October 6, 2006. She disappeared from the York Hotel in the downtown core and was known to frequent shelters and central city areas. Described as Indigenous, with long black hair, brown eyes and a medium build, she wore false teeth and had multiple scars on her left leg, left elbow, forehead, right wrist and chin. She also had a tattoo on her left hand reading FWC.

The circumstances of the day she vanished have not been released publicly, and her daughter has raised concerns about problems with the initial missing persons report. The Edmonton Police Service continues to list her as missing and her profile is shared by organizations working on cases of missing Indigenous people in the region. If anyone knew Freda, saw her on or after October 6, 2006, or has information about the York Hotel that day, please come forward.
