Reward offered in Stephanie Stewart missing-person case
Alberta government and AUPE offer $20,000 for information
Edmonton... The Government of Alberta and the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees have posted a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the disappearance of a seasonal fire lookout observer near Hinton.
Stephanie Stewart, 70, was reported missing from the Athabasca Lookout Tower, about 25 km northwest of Hinton, on August 26. Hinton RCMP believe she is a victim of foul play and are conducting a criminal investigation into her disappearance.
"We appeal to anyone with any information to please come forward," said Sustainable Resource Development Minister David Coutts.
AUPE President Dan MacLennan said the union and the Government share the same concerns. "Stephanie Stewart is a member of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees and we will do everything in our power to find out what happened to her and to prevent this from happening again," MacLennan said.
Stewart is about five feet two inches tall, 105 pounds with permed, shoulder-length grey hair, blue eyes and glasses. An intense ground search, conducted over several days after her disappearance, turned up no trace of Stewart. She was last heard from on the evening of Friday, August 25, by her family. Police have ruled out the possibility she became lost or was harmed by an animal.
Police note a number of Stewart's personal items are missing from her residence at the lookout tower, including: two pillows with blue pillow covers; a burgundy bedsheet; a blue, brown and burgundy Navajo-patterned duvet; and a woman's gold-coloured analog watch with a second hand that displays the day of the week and the date.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Police are especially interested in any sightings of suspicious vehicles or activities in the area of Highway 40 and the Athabasca Nordic Centre between Friday, August 25, and Saturday, August 26.
