Eight weeks have passed since 29-year-old Bobbie Lynn Moose from Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) was found dead in an empty lot on Nelson Road in Thompson and RCMP say they still don’t know what she was doing between the time when she was dropped off in Thompson Oct. 1 and when her body was found Oct. 17.
“This is a plea for help,” said a request for the public to come forward sent out by Thompson RCMP Dec. 13, eight weeks and one day after Moose’s body was found around 5:10 p.m. by members of the public. “We need the people of Thompson and surrounding communities to help us find answers and move forward in the homicide investigation of Bobbie Lynn Moose.”
Police have conducted more than 300 interviews, searched the area around where Moose was found using a highly trained search team that was sent up from Winnipeg, and gone door-to-door to every household in Thompson asking for information about Moose. A billboard has been set up on Mystery Lake Road near the Thompson Liquor Mart, but police are still in the dark as to what Moose did for the two-and-a-half weeks she was in Thomson leading up to her death.
“We do know, for certain, that she was dropped off by her sister at the Walmart on Mystery Lake Road on Oct. 1. But what we’re missing is where she was, who she spoke with, where she stayed and what she was doing between Oct. 1 and Oct. 17. We need that information. We need tips. We need your help. Someone has information about Bobbie’s time in Thompson between Oct.1 and Oct. 17. As a community, we must come together and find out what happened. Every tip, every piece of information is valuable to us. If you have heard anything, if you know something, if you think you saw Bobbie – please call the RCMP.”
Anyone with information can call Thompson RCMP at 204-677-6909 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Tips can also be submitted online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.
