The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the family of Alexis Ermineskin-Crier are asking for the public's help in locating a 13-year-old girl missing from Wetaskiwin, Alberta.
Alexis was last seen on April 3, 2026, in Wetaskiwin, a city located approximately 70 kilometres south of Edmonton. She is described as 5'5" tall, weighing approximately 120 pounds, with long black hair.
The RCMP Alberta posted the missing persons bulletin on their official social media accounts on April 5 two days after Alexis was last seen.
Why the First 48 Hours Matter
In any missing persons case involving a child or youth, the first 48 hours are considered the most critical window for locating the individual safely. There is no mandatory waiting period before filing a missing persons report in Canada contact police immediately if a disappearance seems out of character.
A Broader Context
Indigenous women, girls and youth in Canada go missing at disproportionately high rates. According to the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Indigenous women represented 16 per cent of all female homicides in Canada between 1980 and 2012, despite making up just four per cent of the female population. Alberta is among the provinces where this overrepresentation has been most pronounced, with one of the highest numbers of active missing Indigenous persons alerts in the country.
Contact Information
Anyone with information is urged to contact Wetaskiwin RCMP immediately at 780-312-7267, or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or p3tips.com. If you believe she is in immediate danger, call 911.
