RCMP, family searching for Indigenous woman missing from Abbotsford


Langley RCMP has put out a renewed call to the public to help locate a missing 20-year-old woman.

Kristina Ward was reported missing from Abbotsford on Sept. 25, where she lives with her parents. That was more than three weeks ago. 

“We’re still actively looking, our serious crimes section is actively engaged,” said Cpl. Craig van Herk of the Langley RCMP.

“It’s a detachment priority now.”

The last confirmed contact anyone had with Ward was on Sept. 27 in Langley. 

Ward is described as First Nations, 5’6″ tall, 130 pounds with long, dark curly hair and brown eyes in a Langley RCMP press release. Although she’s 20 years old, van Herk said family would say she presents as younger than that.

“She’s a fairly trusting, relatively naive young lady that sees the good in everybody,” he said.

Adding to the concern is that Ward is usually in contact with someone from her family daily by phone. van Herk said the family grew quite alarmed when that communication stopped.

A release about her disappearance also mentions she requires medication, that she possibly doesn’t have on her. 

At this point police aren’t sure where Ward might be, but van Herk said there is no indication anything suspicious has happened. He said tips have been coming in and they are actively following up on those.

Anyone with information about where Ward might be is asked to call the Langley RCMP.
