Halifax -> Ontario: Missing student

This is... unreal. A Saint Mary's University student who is studying the issue of missing aboriginal women in Canada has herself gone missing. Loretta Saunders, 26, an Inuk from Labrador, vanished last week. Cops in Ontario just picked up a couple driving her car...







Here's a Facebook page dedicated to the search for Saunders.



Loretta Saunders's car found in Harrow, Ont., 2 arrested

Ontario police have found the car of a missing Halifax woman and are now treating her disappearance as suspicious.



Halifax police said police in Harrow, Ont. arrested a 25-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman on Tuesday night for possessing a stolen vehicle.



Loretta Saunders, who is three-months pregnant, hasn’t been heard from since last Friday. Halifax Regional Police Const. Pierre Bourdages says the two suspects know Saunders.



Saunders, an Inuk from Newfoundland and Labrador, is a student at Saint Mary's University. Her thesis focuses on missing and murdered aboriginal women, making her disappearance a surreal irony for her family.



Her sister Delilah Saunders said she last contacted Loretta on Valentine’s Day via text, but the only reply she received was a brief “Hey."



Loretta is described as a white woman, five feet seven inches tall, weighing 120 pounds, with straight light brown hair.



She was driving a blue 2000 Toyota Celica with the Newfoundland and Labrador licence plate HCP 543.
