Michelin is remembered as an energetic young woman with a sense of humour that could brighten a room. She was fond of traditional crafting, enjoyed baking, and was a wonderful cook. On January 20, 1993 Michelin reached out to police for help. The nearest RCMP detachment, Happy Valley-Goose Bay, was located over 160 kilometers away. A lack of Innu-aimun and Inuktitut-speaking dispatchers meant that callers often had to relay their emergencies in English. Language barriers and remote emergency response affect many Indigenous women and girls today.

Dorothy Anne Spence was last seen in August 1995 in Vancouver. Police say she was a known drug user and sex-trade worker in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Vancouver police are still looking into her case. Her sister posted a message on the police missing person’s pages. She says her sister was not the type of person to just leave and not tell anyone. She says they are still trying to figure out what happened to her and her five brothers and three other sisters “love her a great deal and miss her.” Dorothy’s sister says they shared an apartment together in Vancouver, but it was getting carried away, so she moved to Ontario. She says drugs take total control of a person and she was lucky to move away. She wants people to know “all these girls have someone who loves them and cares for them.”
