Investigators with the Nanaimo RCMP are seeking public assistance locating a 22-year-old woman who hasn’t been seen in over four months.
Sherry Corrigal went missing in September of last year, but wasn’t officially reported missing until November 9th.
Police say they are “extremely concerned” about her as she has not been in contact with friends and family for an alarming amount of time.
According to Nanaimo RCMP, a full-time team of investigators has been assigned to her case and have thus far not located her, despite following up on several leads and tips.
“We are asking anyone who saw Sherry around the time of her disappearance or since to contact police directly,” said Constable Simon Gallimore of the Nanaimo RCMP.
“Police are aware of social media posts going around asking people to contact persons other than the police with information. This has resulted in numerous unsubstantiated rumours circulating about what may have happened to Sherry.”
As a result of the circulating rumours, police are asking anyone with first-hand information to come forward so they can avoid following up on misinformation.
“Rumours are just that, rumours. They are a very poor source of information for the investigative team,” added Gallimore.
Corrigal is described as a young woman, standing 5’0” tall, weighing around 90 to 100 pounds, with long, dark hair and several hand, arm and back tattoos
Anyone who saw Sherry Corrigal in early September 2023, who has had contact with her since that time or who has direct knowledge of what has happened to her should contact Nanaimo RCMP at (250) 754-2345.
