On a day that should have been filled with celebration for her son's high school graduation, Lorraine Maltais-Chonkolay, a 36-year-old Indigenous woman, disappeared from her home in Bushe River First Nation, Alberta. On the evening of June 15, 2024, at approximately 11:00 p.m., Lorraine was last seen by her daughter. The daughter reported hearing a vehicle pull up to their home before her mother left. Lorraine has not been seen or heard from since that night, a silence that is deeply out of character for the mother of four. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a black spaghetti-strap sundress and grey ankle boots. Lorraine is described as having a light complexion, standing 5 feet 2 inches tall, and weighing around 120 pounds. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes. The High Level RCMP were notified of her disappearance and have been investigating, expressing concern for her wellbeing. Early in the investigation, it was reported that she may have been seen getting into a black vehicle. However, a family member later clarified that this sighting was from earlier in the day and not at the time she went missing. The disappearance has left her family, including a young child around the age of two, in a state of profound worry and uncertainty. The case of Lorraine Maltais-Chonkolay is a distressing story that highlights the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. Her family continues to hold out hope and pleads for any information that might lead to her whereabouts. Described as a loving mother, daughter, niece, and cousin, her absence has created a significant void in her community. The investigation into her disappearance remains active, with law enforcement encouraging anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward. The circumstances surrounding that June night remain unclear, leaving her loved ones to grapple with the pain of not knowing what happened after she walked out of her home.
