- - In another article, link below, it says: She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black jacket with a white cross and the word “Victorious” written on the back.- -

• Posts on the Facebook site dedicated to her say her cellphone’s last known location was in the Crossfield or Calgary area, and her credit cards have not been used.

• RCMP spokesperson Const. Martin Miville would not say if police believe Turner met with foul play or what role the man she was last seen with might have played in her disappearance ..... read more:

The family of a missing Fort Saskatchewan woman says the RCMP didn't alert the public fast enough about her disappearance.

Turner's mother, Wendy Yurko, believes RCMP should have acted sooner to help find her daughter.

Turner left her mother's home without calling her three children currently visiting relatives outside of Alberta, and without her thyroid medication.

"She's really sick... and it's left at her mom's. She hasn't had it in 12 days, so she's dying right now without it," her friend Rachelle Leger said.

"She could have been saved in the first couple of days, but not enough was done I don’t think."

(I am wondering why LE is not releasing the image of the man in the surveillance video. If that person has nothing to do with her disappearance, he might have some info that could help with the investigation. Otherwise, if he is responsible, then perhaps someone could identify him, JMO)
 
From an acquaintance who knows the family of the missing woman, I have to say it sounds very very bad.

Please take the following as pure rumour as it was passed on to me again from the acquaintance of the family(who was trying to spread the word about Dana being missing)

- no activity on credit cards/phone
-history of drug use so police held off being involved initially
- car was in shop so she had rental
-boyfriend who has put her in hospital in past was released from jail friday, she went missing saturday.
 
Thanks ellabella for the insight.

This just in - hopefully she is found alive and well!!

Edmonton gas station video could shed light on woman’s disappearance

Surveillance video taken around 5 p.m. that same day shows Turner at a Domo Gas station at 17765 98A Ave., said Sgt. Tim Taniguchi.

In the images from the video, Turner is wearing a dark jacket with a Celtic cross on one sleeve. The jacket also has a large patch on the front.

“It gives people a chance to see something to tweak their memory a bit,” Taniguchi said. It appears she is alone when she enters the gas station.

A surveillance video captured an image of Dana Jane Turner in a west Edmonton gas station later on the day she is thought to have disappeared. In addition, her cell phone was last used in Calgary.

The 31-year-old woman was reported as missing on Aug. 16, two days after she left the Quality Inn West Harvest in Edmonton at 7 a.m. on Aug.14, with an unknown tattooed male.

The surveillance video depicts Turner in a Domo Gas Station, located at 17765 98A Avenue, Edmonton, on Aug. 14 at about 5 p.m.

In the video, she is wearing a dark jacket with distinctive patches on it.

UPDATED: Suspect in Mr. Big stabbing linked to missing Edmonton woman

The man arrested this week north of Kamloops in connection with the alleged stabbing of an undercover police officer pleaded guilty last month to stabbing his girlfriend — who is now missing.

[snip]

Lindsay spent 50 days in jail prior to his guilty plea and was handed a sentence of time served, in addition to being placed on a conditional sentence order and an 18-month probation term.

He was released from custody on Aug. 12.

Turner, 31, was reported missing a few days later. She was last seen on Aug. 14 at a motel in Edmonton.

[snip]

Police have not publicly named Lindsay a suspect in Turner's disappearance.

I wonder what's with a named identity being a condition for the larger reward? I haven't noticed one like that before. Is that something done in Canada?

Never seen anything like it. The tipster will NOT remain anonymous? WTH?:waitasec:

I have seen many times they make a distinction, but never as CLEARLY stated as in this case. They usually state a condition like "if the tip leads to an arrest and conviction"....then they add, if the tipster wants to remain anonymous they can contact Crime Stoppers.
Many times I wondered if the tipster could collect both rewards, or if it is either or, based on if they want to remain anonymous or not.

Could it mean Crime Stoppers pays in cash, and when it comes to a larger amount, it HAS to be cheque or direct deposit? I really don't know, just a wild guess.

Turner was last seen at 7 a.m. Aug. 16 at the Quality Inn West Hotel near 178 Street and Stony Plain Road. She was with an unknown man with tattoos — a man unknown to Yurko.

Lindsay is again in custody after he was arrested last week near Kamloops in connection with the stabbing of an undercover cop.

At the time of the guilty plea in Edmonton, Turner told the court she was not afraid of Lindsay, so there wasn’t a no-contact order issued. Court also heard Turner was planning to move east after the trial and had already made the necessary arrangements.

Yurko met Lindsay on a few occasions and said he had met her daughter not too long ago during a hospital stay.

She cautioned Turner about seeing Lindsay, but her daughter didn’t listen. She’s now suspicious of his involvement in the case.

“It’s just too coincidental that she’s gone 24 hours after he got out,” said Yurko. “It’s terrifying me.”

Yurko said Turner was planning to make the drive to the east coast Sept. 18 and was in the midst of getting her car repaired to make the trip.

When Yurko came home from work around 11:45 p.m. Aug. 13, Turner was gone, leaving all her belongings behind, including her toothbrush, makeup bag and all her medications.

Just noticed that the previous Edmonton Sun article contains some mistakes:
"Turner was last seen at 7 a.m. Aug. 16 at the Quality Inn West Hotel near 178 Street and Stony Plain Road.

She was with an unknown man with tattoos — a man unknown to Yurko." [Yurko is Dana's mother]
From all other articles, Dana was last seen Aug. 14 not the 16th -- at the Quality Inn West Hotel -- also she was captured by surveillance video, later that day (the 14th), around 5 pm, in a Domo Gas Station, located at 17765 98A Avenue, Edmonton.
 
While police told her the body, found in an empty field about 10 kilometres west of Innisfail, hasn’t been positively identified, (Wendy) Yurko said she believes it’s her daughter.

“I’m positive that it’s her,” she said, adding the entire family was brought in to speak to RCMP and victims’ services about the discovery.

RCMP said the cause of Turner's death still has yet to be determined by the Medical Examiner's Office, but it is considered suspicious.
Police are still asking for the public's help in finding out what happened to Dana Turner, anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 1-800-222-8477 , or Fort Saskatchewan RCMP at 780-992-6100 780-992-6100 .

I should have posted this first, sorry about that. RIP Dana.

The remains of missing Fort Saskatchewan woman Dana Jane Turner were found Sunday near Innisfail, Alta., the RCMP have confirmed.
Turner, 31, was last seen on Aug. 14. Police notified her family on Tuesday about the discovery.
"They said she did not die of natural causes, that it looked like she was murdered," her mother Wendy Yurko said. "Now they have to find out who murdered her."
 
RCMP admit mistake in case of missing Ft. Sask. woman
A day after police confirmed human remains found near Innisfail are those of Dana Jane Turner, RCMP have admitted to making a mistake, and delaying her missing person case.

Police told CTV News that early in the case, an RCMP officer sent the file to another law enforcement agency – under the belief that they would lead the investigation.

The officer sent the file to the Edmonton Police Service.

"I can tell you that the Fort Saskatchewan detachment made an incorrect conclusion that the Edmonton Police Service would be the lead agency in this investigation," Sgt. Tim Taniguchi said. " ...
