The Edmonton Police Service’s homicide unit has taken over an investigation into a missing 23-year-old woman.
Nicole Frenchman was reported missing on Aug. 10. When the EPS put out a media release seeking public assistance to locate the woman on Aug. 16, officers said there was no indication to suggest foul play at the time.
At the time, police also said Frenchman was last seen in downtown Edmonton on Friday, July 9.
In an update on Friday morning, police said investigators have since learned the last communication from Frenchman’s phone was early in the morning on July 10. She was last seen getting into a larger, possibly grey pickup truck with oversized tires and a lift kit in the Kingsway area on the same day.
“Police have found no other evidence of life since then,” the EPS said.
