Yesterday, shortly before 9:00 pm, the Fraser Lake RCMP received a report of a
missing person.

Wilma Friesen was last seen by family earlier the same day around 1:00 pm.

Information obtained during the investigation can confirm that Wilma was seen at 3:00 pm in the community visiting with a
friend.

Friesen told her friend that she was going to get groceries and then going home.

She is believed to be driving a silver 2020 Ford Edge British Columbia license plate XL136F.
