The Calgary Police Service (CPS) is reporting a missing woman, Amy Elizabeth Fahlman, 25, has been found deceased.
The CPS confirmed Fahlman's discovery in a brief statement released on social media late Tuesday evening.
According to the CPS, "her death is deemed non-criminal in nature and no further information will be released."
Prior to the woman's discovery, Foothills Search and Rescue and Cochrane Search and Rescue had been lending a hand in the search for the Calgary woman, who was believed to be missing near Cochrane.
Fahlman had last been seen on Sept. 29, where she left her home in the 300-block of Hawkland Place NW, and was reported missing the following day when she did not return home, the Calgary Police Service (CPS) stated in an Oct. 1 press release.
According to a media release on Oct. 7, investigators had been asking for anyone who potentially had dashcam footage of Fahlman's silver Nissan Murano in the area of Cochrane travelling on Highway 1A to northbound Highway 40, past Waiparous Village, on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023, between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. to contact police.
CPS had initially believed she was in the Kananaskis area, and on Wednesday, Oct. 4, police issued another statement that they had located Fahlman’s vehicle, a 2010 Nissan Murano.
Following that discovery, Cochrane Search and Rescue (CSAR) and Foothills Search and Rescue (FSAR), organizations comprised of volunteers that undergo specialized training in search and rescue and missing person behaviour, were tasked to search for Fahlman the area northwest of Waiparous Village, near Cochrane.
“Cochrane is the lead agency, and they’re doing a magnificent job, and they brought in Foothills Search and Rescue to assist,” Tom Christie, a search manager with FSAR, told media representatives at the time. “The terrain we covered is very dense brush, very difficult searching.”
Also joining in the search for Fahlman were equine and ATV search teams, and Christie added there had been a tremendous turnout of support from spontaneous volunteers – members of the public, ballooning the effort to over 100 strong.
“I saw yesterday early in the morning, there was close to 50 to 75 spontaneous volunteers with their ARTVs and on foot with us,” Christie said, adding SAR members were organized into teams with volunteers.
“FSAR directed and included in our ranks some spontaneous volunteers, and our members are well-equipped, very knowledgeable. It was quite heartwarming to see all these people responding to the requests of the family.”
