Here is a more recent article on Tamara's disappearance:
FRIDAY MARKS the second anniversary of the disappearance of a local mother.
Tamara Chipman was last seen Sept. 21, 2005 hitchhiking back to Terrace on Hwy16 near the Prince Rupert industrial park after spending several days there visiting her mom and friends.
Despite two searches – one launched by RCMP and a second one by family and friends – Chipman hasn’t been seen since.
Chipman’s son Jaden, aged 2 at the time of her disappearance, just celebrated his fourth birthday and still is looking for his mom in his own way.
He calls his dad Rob Parker’s ex-girlfriend “mom” at times, which is upsetting, according to Parker.
“It just hurts me when he calls everybody else ‘mom,’” he said.
Parker said he’s keeping memorabilia from the papers “in case I have to explain something later on.”
He’s stopped listening to any tips he hears because people are “full of you know what” and he’s tired of hearing what others are saying.
Surrey private investigator Ray Michalko, who’s been on the case for a couple years now since taking a personal interest in it, notes Chipman as one of the missing women from Hwy16 whom he’s focusing his investigation on.
“I’m continuing to focus on Tamara Chipman, Nicole Hoar and Ramona Wilson,” he said from his Lower Mainland office last week.
“I seem to have more information regarding them than the others so far,” he said, referring to the many other women who have gone missing or been found murdered along Hwy16.
