Edmonton police have reached out to RCMP in the Yukon for help locating a woman who was last seen a year ago.

Shelly Dene, a 26-year-old First Nations woman, was last seen by her family and friends in August of last year. She was reported missing to Edmonton police in November 2013.

Const. Shelley Pinch of the Edmonton Missing Person Unit said this morning police recently received a tip Dene may have been heading to the Yukon.

They also have unconfirmed information she might have been travelling with a First Nations male, possibly in a red truck.

“With investigations like this, when people are missing and it’s now been over a year, we just follow up with everything,” Pinch said. “I just reached out to RCMP there (in the Yukon) because this is new information.”

There have been no reported sightings of Dene since she went missing.

Yukon RCMP Cpl. Calista MacLeod said circulating this news in the Yukon will bring renewed public attention to her disappearance.

“There’s nothing concrete that says she came here at all,” MacLeod said.

“But as the investigation goes on, the more and more people you talk to, sometimes people say, ‘Well, I think she mentioned she wanted to go there.’

Dene was a resident of Kelowna, B.C., for about 10 years before moving to Edmonton.

She has brown hair and brown eyes. She’s five feet, seven inches tall, and weighs about 110 pounds.

Anyone with information about Dene is asked to contact Pinch at 780-421-2011, the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or MacLeod at 867-633-8649.
