Stephanie, 35, was last seen around 1:45 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16th, after leaving her home in the 200 block of Regina Avenue in Saanich.

She is described as an Indigenous woman, 5’4” tall, with long dark brown hair that was braided into two pigtails and brown eyes. At the time she went missing, she was wearing a black coat with something purple underneath, black pants with grey shin-high socks pulled over them, and black and white sneakers.

She was carrying a black backpack with a red Naloxone kit attached, along with an off-white satchel-style bag.
