Leona Brule would sew outfits and toys for her two-year-old niece Vanessa when she had a moment free.
She was reported missing from Fort Providence, N.W.T., in March 1989. The 18-year-old had been working as a live-in nanny and traveling back and forth to Edmonton to visit her boyfriend.
Brule eventually stopped coming home to see her mom, and after about a year, her mother filed a police report. RCMP believe she was living on the streets in Edmonton in the 1990s, but she has never been found. Her case remains open.
