The investigation into the disappearance of Ramona Peter from Ross River remains active, the RCMP said Thursday.

The 40-year-old was last seen outside the village’s general store in late April.

“Searches and other follow-ups are continuing as information is received,” police said.

“Ground, river and aerial searches in and around the community of Ross River have been extensive, thanks to assistance from Yukon Search and Rescue as well as dedicated community volunteers.”

Searches have also been conducted in Faro, and inquiries have been made in Whitehorse and Watson Lake.

“As we approach hunting season, the RCMP would like to remind people who are travelling on land and waterways in the Ross River area to be on the lookout for anything that may be associated to Ms. Peter’s disappearance, such as clothing,” police added.

Anyone with knowledge of her whereabouts is asked to provide any information to their local police or, to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 667-6715 or at https://www.crimestoppersyukon.ca

The First Nations woman has long black hair and brown eyes. She is approximately five feet, six inches (168 cm) tall and weighs 110 lbs.

She was last seen wearing a long blue winter jacket.
