UPDATE: SHE HAS BEEN FOUND SAFE AND SOUND

Vancouver Police are asking for the public’s help in locating 25-year-old Autumn Mackillop, who has been missing since early November. “VPD detectives have been working to locate Ms. Mackillop since she was reported missing,” says Constable Tania Visintin, VPD. “We are concerned about her well-being, as she left her purse, cell phone, and keys at home.” Autumn was last seen in Marpole on November 6. She had left her home, near Balaclava Street and West 6th Avenue, the day before at about 11:30 p.m.

Autumn is Indigenous. She is five feet one inch tall, has a slim build, and is missing all of her top teeth. She has a fair complexion, brown eyes, and long, straight brown hair with blonde highlights. Autumn was last seen wearing a black zip-up puffy jacket and black yoga pants.

Anyone who sees Autumn Mackillop is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately.
