Yellowknife RCMP renew appeal to locate missing woman known to visit Alberta

Jan 8, 2020 | 11:48 AM

Yellowknife RCMP continue to seek the public’s help in locating a missing woman who is known to have visited Calgary and Edmonton in the past.

Sladjana Petrovic, 60, was reportedly last seen on Dec. 26 in the downtown area of Yellowknife. RCMP began a missing person investigation on Dec. 27 when she was reported missing.

RCMP have issued pleas for assistance from the public since Dec. 30, 2019 and are now renewing their calls for help.

Sladjana Petrovic is described as Caucasian, 5’7” tall, 257 pounds, heavy build, with shoulder length “salt and pepper” brown hair and blue eyes.

Mounties say their investigation has produced the latest image, taken the day before her disappearance. Petrovic is seen wearing a dark blue jacket with a light blue liner, a pink or red shirt, black or dark pants, and running shoes. She appears to be carrying a grey/black bag or purse. It is believed Petrovic was wearing the same clothes when she was last seen.

Police confirm Petrovic was last seen at approximately 3:40 p.m. on Dec. 26, leaving her apartment building in Yellowknife and believed to be wearing the dark blue jacket, red/pink shirt, dark pants and running shoes.

Investigators continue to canvas the area, as residences and businesses in the downtown Yellowknife area may have video footage from security cameras, “Nest” cams and vehicle dash cams.

Yellowknife Ground Search and Rescue (YKGSAR) have been actively patrolling the downtown area, including back alleys and checking yards.

However, RCMP Yellowknife Detachment is working with partner agencies in Alberta, should Petrovic be making her way from Yellowknife to Alberta.

The investigators of Yellowknife RCMP General Investigative Section continue to work on this priority investigation. They have been supported by the NT RCMP Police Dog Services, Yellowknife RCMP and resources from other units as required.

At this time, despite the dedicated, multi-level police investigation, RCMP say there have been no confirmed sightings, interactions or activity from Sladjana Petrovic since she was last seen on Dec. 26, 2019.

“Our investigators continue to work around the clock to locate Ms. Petrovic,” says Inspector Alex Laporte, Yellowknife RCMP Detachment Commander, in a release. “We are concerned for her well-being, and any pieces of information can assist, so please contact us with any information you may have. Our investigators are following every possible lead to locate Ms. Petrovic.”

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Sladjana Petrovic is asked to contact either Yellowknife RCMP at 867-669-1111 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, nwtnutips.com, (click on “submit a web tip”) or text: nwtnutips to 274637.
