Emma's hair is darker in the more recent posters of her so take a good look at the new photos and please remember that beautiful face. $25,000 REWARD. Thank you!

it sounds like she often spoke with street people in the downtown so if none of them have come forward with a sighting it makes me believe she is no longer in Victoria.With the reward offered surely one of them would have stepped up. She may have cut her hair off to change her appearance and is using a different name. It's pretty hard to remain in hiding in a place like Victoria for any length of time and now its been over a year since her disappearance. All I can think is somebody she's met on the streets or in the library has taken her in and is helping her get treatment.I do understand that she got a taxi to the airport at 6:10pm but then got out perhaps because it was too expensive? Then the police interview in front of the Empress and then she vanished (although I read somewhere she had spoken with somebody on the streets after the interview-have they come forward with any details?)I sure hope she reappears as she seems like a very nice person.Anybody still searching in Victoria?

Prawning in Nanaimo

Image
Between Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point Park in Nanaimo   Since prawning is open year round (in most areas always check the BC Sport Fishing Guide to learn of possible closures in your area) my dad and I decided to brave the unpredictable winter weather and head out just off of Neck Point Park to drop some prawn traps.   There are actually 6 species of shrimp/prawns that thrive off the British Columbia coast, but we were after the largest of the species; the local spot prawn. Large females can exceed 23 cm in total length! You can tell a spot prawn by 3 distinct white horizontal bars on their head area and two white spots on their first and fifth abdominal segment. Prawns are male in their second and third year, then becomes female in the third or fourth year, eggs can be found on the underside of their abdomen Oct - March. For conservation purposes it is suggested that these egg bearing prawns be returned to the ocean.   the local spot prawn with it's distinct
