On October 28, 2022, the 40-year-old woman was last seen in a rural area near Pedley Road and East River Road. One of the most bewildering details of her disappearance was that she was reportedly not wearing any shoes.
The day after she was last seen, her vehicle, a 2021 white Jeep Grand Cherokee, was found, but there was no sign of Lianne. This discovery only deepened the concern for her well-being and set in motion an extensive and ongoing investigation.
Lianne is described as being 5 feet tall, weighing approximately 148 pounds, with blonde/brown hair that she often wore in a messy bun, and brown eyes. She has several distinct tattoos, including a tribal design on her lower back, a butterfly on her abdomen, the word 'FAMILY' on her right wrist, and 'STRENGTH' on her left wrist. Additionally, she has tattoos of red roses on her left upper arm and other flowers on her left arm. At the time of her disappearance, she was a financial advisor at a local bank but had been on mental health leave for a few months prior. A divorced mother of three, her absence has left a significant void in the lives of her children and loved ones.
The search for Lianne has been exhaustive, involving numerous search and rescue teams, police dog services, drones, and the RCMP Air Services conducting both ground and air searches of the challenging rural and wilderness terrain surrounding where she was last seen. Despite these significant efforts, no trace of her has been found, and her case remains an active missing person investigation. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, leaving her family to grapple with years of unanswered questions and profound uncertainty. Her family has expressed concerns about the police investigation and continues to hope that someone will come forward with information that could finally bring them answers and resolution in this troubling case.Last Seen: Oct 28, 2022
