This YK COLD CASE is the first of a three-part series exploring what happened to Angela Meyer.

The night before Angela Meyer went missing, her mother remembers she wanted pasta.

Kathy Meyer had just finished work and drove straight to Stanton Territorial Hospital to sign out her daughter, Angela, for dinner with the family on a Friday night.

The 22-year-old was receiving treatment on StantonSA国际影视传媒檚 psychiatric ward for schizophrenia and myriad other health issues.

SA国际影视传媒淲e wanted her as much as possible, to make her life as normal as possible,SA国际影视传媒� Kathy said. SA国际影视传媒淲e didnSA国际影视传媒檛 like the idea of being in hospital.SA国际影视传媒�

Kathy and Angela met with her sister Candace and younger brother Brett at Diamante Restaurant on Range Lake Road. AngelaSA国际影视传媒檚 father Dean and older brother were out of town.

Angela ordered her favourite cannelloni and sipped a diet soda SA国际影视传媒� always diet SA国际影视传媒� Candace told Yellowknifer.

SA国际影视传媒淪he was kind of in a state, again, not saying much. Quite passive. But she ate her supper. She had a big appetite because of her medication,SA国际影视传媒� said Kathy referring to AngelaSA国际影视传媒檚 cocktail of antidepressants, anti-psychotics and insulin. SA国际影视传媒淪heSA国际影视传媒檇 go days without talking, sometimes just saying yes or no. But she loved her family.SA国际影视传媒�

Over dinner, they made a plan for Angela to sleep over the next night at the family home and watch Saturday Night Live, her favourite show.

They also discussed her upcoming move to an independent living home in Edmonton.

SA国际影视传媒淪he liked the idea of living in a city but she was scared.SA国际影视传媒� Kathy said, reminding her daughter that her work at the airline meant she could visit Angela often.

Despite appearing withdrawn, Angela seemed to look forward to these plans.

After dinner, Kathy signed Angela back into Stanton just before the wingSA国际影视传媒檚 8 p.m. curfew.

On Nov. 27, 2010, the next day, after Candace finished her shift at Buffalo Airways around 12:30 p.m., she signed Angela out at Stanton for the sleepover, as planned.

The two were close: born SA国际影视传媒渙ne year, one month, and one day apart,SA国际影视传媒� said Candace.

Coffees on Saturday was their thing, so amid all the change and stress that AngelaSA国际影视传媒檚 illness brought, it felt good for the sisters to be doing something routine.

The two arrived at the Meyer family home on 52 Street around 1 p.m., a cozy white cottage with red accents, and a front and side porch.

At about 1:20 p.m., Kathy gave Angela a cigarette and she stepped out on the side porch to light up.

SA国际影视传媒淐andace went to check on her just a few minutes later SA国际影视传媒� sheSA国际影视传媒檚 still there,SA国际影视传媒� Kathy recalled.

About five minutes later, when Angela hadnSA国际影视传媒檛 returned, Kathy checked the porch.

Angela was gone.

KathySA国际影视传媒檚 motherly instincts kicked in. Something was wrong.

SA国际影视传媒淪o I started scouting all over the place; yelling her name up and down the road,SA国际影视传媒� said Kathy.

From the porch on 52 Street, Kathy ran 150 metres around the corner to BrunoSA国际影视传媒檚 Pizza on 53rd Street.

SA国际影视传媒淗ave you seen Angela?SA国际影视传媒� Kathy asked the worker. SA国际影视传媒淣o, no. HavenSA国际影视传媒檛 seen her,SA国际影视传媒� he replied.

It was -20 C and Angela was in black yoga pants, short grey boots, and a brand-new white Helly Hansen jacket that her parents helped pick.

SA国际影视传媒淗ow far could she have gone? She wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 even dressed for the weatherSA国际影视传媒� said Kathy.

Plus, she didnSA国际影视传媒檛 like the cold and left her medication.

At that point, KathySA国际影视传媒檚 biggest lead was that Angela would talk to anyone.

SA国际影视传媒淪he would ask people for a smoke and usually they gave her one,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

From BrunoSA国际影视传媒檚, Kathy ran another 60 metres to Dorset Apartments.

A lady was smoking outside and Kathy asked her if sheSA国际影视传媒檇 seen Angela.

The lady said yes SA国际影视传媒� she gave Angela a cigarette.

Kathy ran back home and called the hospital, figuring that Angela may have become overwhelmed and walked there.

SA国际影视传媒淪heSA国际影视传媒檇 wandered off a few times before,SA国际影视传媒� said Kathy.

Kathy said the nurse on duty told her to delay reporting Angela as a missing person. They advised her to call the at 5 p.m.

She started pacing. No, I canSA国际影视传媒檛 wait that long, she decided.

Less than an hour from when Angela went missing, Kathy picked up the phone and called the .

Twelve years later, Angela is still missing.

The family is trying to piece together those final hours in fragments: a possible sighting, the white jacket, that she wanted pasta the night before she went missing.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 such a lonely thing, for each of us,SA国际影视传媒� said Kathy. SA国际影视传媒淲hat could have happened?SA国际影视传媒�
