The RCMP have again reminded Yukoners they’re looking for the public’s assistance in an historical investigation.

Angel Carlick, 19, was last seen on May 26, 2007 in Whitehorse. Her remains were found on Nov. 9, 2007 in a wooded area in the Pilot Mountain region north of the city.

Carlick had been about to graduate from high school.

“She was a hard worker at a non-profit organization in Whitehorse, running a dinner program where she would cook meals for children,” the RCMP said Tuesday.

“She enjoyed music and painting. Angel, a youth advocate, was involved in the community. She was caring and was seen as a big sister to her brother and loyal to her friends. Angel had a bright future ahead of her.”

On the evening of May 26, the teenager left a friend’s place and went to downtown Whitehorse on her bike.

Later that night, she called her best friend from a payphone, making plans to join her friends. She was then last seen walking away from Main Street with one or several people.

“This was probably the last time anyone heard from her or saw her,” police said.

Nearly six months after she disappeared, Angel’s remains were discovered by a walker. It is not known whether she died in the wooded area where her body was found.

“Angel has not been forgotten and the investigation into her death continues,” police said.

“Angel’s family and friends are searching for answers, justice, and understanding. The police are actively using all available resources to find the person responsible. Anyone with any knowledge about this is encouraged to come forward.”

The RCMP’s Historical Case Unit works across the territory on historical, suspicious deaths and historic homicides.

If you have information about Carlick’s death, contact the unit directly.

If you have any information that may assist in this investigation, contact the M Division Historical Case Unit at 667-5550 or email MDIV_HCU@rcmp- grc.gc.ca

Same old story, someone knows something & saying nothing. Don't particularly like the idea of paying someone to come forward, but it may be only thing that will work for someone who is disgusting enough to put a monetary value on their big secret. Some put little other value on lives of others.

So gross how half of the Yukon was so interested in following the murder of an American woman (whose accused murderer is still at large). Meanwhile you're telling me that nobody knows anything about Angel Carlick? Let's raise $100,000 and put it as a reward for solving her murder. So much attention on somebody not even from the Yukon and one of our First Nations teenagers is not given enough effort in solving her heinous murder.

A sad senseless death. Also sad is that probably there is more than 1 person who knows who the coward is. Someone should come clean and put to rest this case.
