This YK COLD CASE is the second in a three-part series exploring the disappearance of Angela Meyer.

The first 24 hours of a missing person case are the most crucial but often a blur for the families.

On Nov. 27, 2010, Angela Meyer, 22, stepped outside of her family home for a cigarette and hasnSA国际影视传媒檛 been seen since.

Her mother, Kathy, ran to BrunoSA国际影视传媒檚 Pizza around the corner, then to Dorset Apartments and back home and made frantic calls to SA国际影视传媒渆veryone SA国际影视传媒� family, friends, motels, authorities,SA国际影视传媒� Kathy said.

She then jumped in the car with AngelaSA国际影视传媒檚 sister Candace and brother Brett and drove the streets calling her name.

Dean, AngelaSA国际影视传媒檚 father, was driving back from Hay River at the time.

At 5 p.m., Kathy reported Angela missing, confirmed Cpl. Mike Lewis of the Yellowknife .

Kathy thought she called earlier, but as she said SA国际影视传媒� those hours after Angela went missing was a blur.

Immediately, the police dispatched officers to the MeyerSA国际影视传媒檚 home on 54 Street.

SA国际影视传媒淚nitial investigators gathered clothing and appearance details and commenced searching for her at various locations around Yellowknife,SA国际影视传媒� Lewis said.

The search for Angela quickly gained momentum SA国际影视传媒� the were joined by firemen, off-duty officers, bylaw officers and even tourists knocked on doors looking for her.

The initial report described Angela as a five-foot-ten Inuk woman weighing around 230 pounds

It was also stated she was wearing a white Helly Hansen coat when she disappeared.

The received a handful of tips, some claiming they saw the young woman in a disoriented state.

SA国际影视传媒淎ngela was believed to have been sighted in the Ptarmigan Road, Con Road, and Con Trailer Park in the afternoon and early evening hours of Saturday, November 27,SA国际影视传媒� said Lewis.

However, SA国际影视传媒渢here is no definitive answer to her last known location beyond her own residence,SA国际影视传媒� he added.

In these tips, Angela was wearing a black and red jacket SA国际影视传媒� not her white coat.

At the time of her disappearance, Angela was staying on the psychiatric ward at Stanton Hospital to treat her mental health issues and she still had access to her shared accommodation on Ptarmigan Road.

Kathy is unsure of the exact circumstances but at some point during the investigation, the white coat Angela was wearing was found at her shared apartment.

Her black and red Arctic Winter Games volunteer jacket was missing.

Kathy believes that after Angela left the porch, she stopped by her old apartment and switched jackets.

During one search, a black and red winter coat was located, SA国际影视传媒渂ut it has not been confirmed that it belonged to Angela,SA国际影视传媒� said Lewis.

In January 2011, the Meyers led another search for Angela across Yellowknife.

SA国际影视传媒淎 good number of people we know, good friends, they assisted us. We were overwhelmed with the amount of people concerned with finding Angela,SA国际影视传媒� Kathy said of the 250 volunteers when the family expected 50 or 60.

Again, the search yielded nothing. All that the Meyers have left are theories.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檇 like to think she just walked off and she had enough. I pray and hope she wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 taken forcefully,SA国际影视传媒� said Kathy.

Over the years, people have contacted the Meyers under the guise of being helpful but proved anything but.

A cousin told Kathy a Shaman took Angela. Another woman contacted the family through Facebook to say she had information on the disappearance.

SA国际影视传媒淎 psychic SA国际影视传媒� and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 not to say I didnSA国际影视传媒檛 speak to a couple SA国际影视传媒� posted a map on Facebook and said, SA国际影视传媒楾his is her location,SA国际影视传媒橲A国际影视传媒� Kathy recalled. Even though they knew the psychic was a sham, Dean visited the site.

SA国际影视传媒淎nd there was nothing there,SA国际影视传媒� said Kathy.

Basically, they are in the same position they were the day Angela disappeared, and running out of avenues to search for her.

SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檝e just put our trust in the to do what they have to do because thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what their profession is,SA国际影视传媒� said Kathy. SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 very hard to be actively active in a cold case when you have to live day to day and life goes on.SA国际影视传媒�
