This is so sad- being transgender NOW is difficult for so many, I can't imagine how hard it was over 25 years ago. Poor Elly, beautiful, loved, and gone so long. Without much specific detail as to where she was last seen (outside of general area and area possibly traveling to) and any suspected or investigated crime against her person, there's not much we can do to help find her, but hopefully someone can.

Agree. She is transgender and First Nations which are statistically higher risk groups for foul play. I guess they have ruled out hope she is alive. RIP Elly, I hope you are found so your family can have you back.

I don't know how much coverage this got back then. I would say the trans community was incredibly small but close knit
