Tamara Chipman Case Making Positive Steps

By 250 News

It has now been two years since  Tamara Chipman disappeared.  She was last seen on September 21st, 2005,  hitchhicking  on Highway 16, east of Prince Rupert.

Most recently,  a trained  ground search and rescue team  assisted  investigators in searching a wooded area east of Prince Rupert.  That search, conducted last weekend, didn’t uncover any meaningful evidence.

The investigation into her disappearance remains ongoing, and is being  handled by the Terrace Detachment  of the RCMP with  assistance  of Prince Rupert and the Terrace Regional GIS section.

Investigators say that over the past year they have made some  progress in eliminating a number of tips  and have been able to  concentrate on some more compelling leads.

The information being  gathered from this investigation is being shared with the Highway 16  investigative review team which has been examining files of women who have gone missing, or who have been murdered along Highway 16.

Investigators say their  work on the Chipman case continues to take "positive steps" but Terrace and Prince Rupert RCMP would still welcome hearing from anyone who may have information related to this case.
