“RCMP are also working to locate 61-year-old Donna Spilchen (Radom) to confirm her safety,” the RCMP added. “Donna is described as approximately 5’ and 120 pounds. She has black hair. We don’t have a photo available at this time.”
Police asked anyone with information on Spilchen’s whereabouts – and anyone who noticed any suspicious activity or captured surveillance footage in the area early Thursday morning – to get in touch with police or Crime Stoppers.
The RCMP said no additional details could be shared on Friday, but added that the public will be informed if an imminent safety risk is identified.
