Quebec provincial police have issued a $40,000 reward for any information that can solve the case of Sindy Ruperthouse, the Algonquin woman whose disappearance heightened concern about the treatment of aboriginal women in Val-d'Or.

The Sûreté du Québec issued a release Wednesday describing Ruperthouse as five foot four inches tall and 131 lbs, with brown eyes and black hair.

"The months have been long, long since April 2014. Me and my wife, we went to Montreal, we went to Ottawa, everywhere. We even went to Radisson, Chisasibi, up north to search for her," says her father, Johnny Wylde.

[...]

It's been a year since Ruperthouse, 44, of Pikogan (north of Val-d'Or) went missing. The circumstances of her disappearance have not yet been uncovered.

She was last seen in a Val-d'Or hospital in the spring of 2014, where she was recovering from being beaten up.
And then she was gone.

[...]

When Enqûete began examining the investigation into Sindy's disappearance, they heard about leads that hadn't been followed up and a family who drove all weekend, every weekend in search of their daughter.

This past week, the Grand Council of the Cree offered a $50,000 reward to anyone with information on Ruperthouse's whereabouts.much more at the link

Early one morning later this week, Johnny Wylde will pack up his car and travel 600 kilometres to Montreal to tell the story of how his daughter went missing — and how police have not yet solved her case.

Wylde, his wife Émilie Ruperthouse-Wylde and their two daughters, live in the Algonquin community of Pikogan, north of Val-d'Or. Like other families across Quebec, they're planning to make the trip to the big city to attend the hearings into murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls.

Wylde's daughter, Sindy Ruperthouse, disappeared in April 2014.

"I want to tell the real story, the real story we're living," Wylde said in an interview.

Ruperthouse was last seen at the hospital in Val-d'Or.

Wylde said he will focus on the federal inquiry this week. He isn't certain yet if his testimony, scheduled for March 14, will be open to the public, but he wants it to be. "I want people to know what's happening," he said.

Wylde, for his part, said he hasn't prepared any comments.

He doesn't need to.
"We've been living with this for four years," he said. "I know what I want to say."

''Johnny Wylde has been searching for his daughter for nine years, and yet he says it still feels like she went missing yesterday.
Sindy Ruperthouse, 44, was last seen in the spring of 2014. She had arrived at the emergency room in Val-d’Or badly beaten, with several broken ribs.''
“We don’t know what happened to her, if she’s dead or still alive,” Wylde, 68, said on Friday. “But we always keep hope.”


Wylde was among families who travelled to Montreal on Friday for the launch of a new research project that plans to create an interactive map of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Quebec.


During the three-year project, researchers will visit communities across the province to meet with families and better understand each individual case. Part of the goal is to give families a voice and put a face to the names behind the statistics.''
