Angel Carlick has not been forgotten, and the investigation into her death continues, Yukon RCMP said Monday.

Carlick went missing on May 26, 2007 in Whitehorse.

Her remains were found in the Pilot Mountain subdivision, north of Whitehorse, on Nov. 9, 2007.

The 19-year-old had been set 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.

“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,” police added.

On the evening of May 26, 2007, the young woman 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 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, her remains were found by a walker in a wooded area at Pilot Mountain.

It is not known if she died in the area where her body was found.

“Angel’s family and friends are searching for answers, justice, and understanding,” the RCMP said.

“The police are actively using all available resources to find the person responsible.

“The Yukon RCMP’s Historical Case Unit is encouraging anyone with information related to Angel’s case to come forward to progress the investigation further.”

The unit works across the territory, investigating historical, suspicious deaths and historic homicides.

If you have information about Carlick’s death, contact the unit at 667-5500 or email MDIV_HCU@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
