On 23 July 2010, an Ontario Disability Support Program representative contacted the OPP to report that support cheques for Shelley ANDERSON of Lang Street, Cobalt Ontario, were returned uncashed for the past 12 months. Police attended the Anderson residence and were unable to locate her. She was last seen in the Haileybury and Cobalt area some time during the summer of 2009. Shelley Anderson also has ties to the Timmins and Schumacher areas since she lived there for most of her life.

"Even with her handicap, she was very street wise. She knew how to take care of herself," said brother Keith Anderson.

His 51-year-old sister was last seen at the Haileybury Country Style with an older man driving a Jimmy-style SUV that was maroon and silver in colour. She had moved to Cobalt from South Porcupine just two months prior in July 2009.

He said she suffered mild brain damage while in a coma as a teenager, but she had lived on her own for most of her life.
 
I believe Shelley is an Indigenous woman -- see http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/12/19/missing-aboriginal-women-canada-2014_n_6357050.html -- and thus more at risk statistically. It's devastating to see how disproportionately Aboriginal women are targeted for violence in Canada. (The link above gives names and images for a number of our murdered and missing.) The Canadian government should listen to the endless number of Indigenous scholars and activists, and their allies, who have been demanding a national inquiry specifically on the catastrophe of missing and murdered Aboriginal women.
