MEDICINE HAT, AB – City police have released surveillance footage of a woman missing for almost a week in a further attempt to locate her.

Medicine Hat Police Service says Jennifer Chemelli-Magnus was last seen on video walking eastbound on 20th Street NE towards Eighth Avenue NE on Dec. 30, at 6:40 p.m.

Staff Sgt. Jason Graham, in charge of the MHPS criminal investigation unit, says police don’t believe anything is suspicious at this time but do have serious concerns about Chemelli-Magnus given the length of time she’s been missing.

“Anything and everything we’re looking at right now including maybe some medical distress that she could have been under,” Graham says. “We know that Jennifer has limited mobility and because of that we are thinking that there’s a potential that she could be in and around the area in that Crescent Heights neighbourhood.”
