No missing person reports were filed for Xavia.

Investigators are trying to put together a timeline of Xavia’s short life and are looking for photos of her taken after March 2022, as well as anyone who may have seen her after that date.

Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP’s major crimes tip line at 431-489-8112.
