a Saskatchewan woman was last seen in Edmonton, police now say her vehicle was tracked from the Prairies to the Pacific and back — but Natanis Merasty is nowhere to be found.

“Natanis is very soft-spoken. She’s shy, she is loving, caring,” said her aunt and godmother Marcella Merasty at an Edmonton Police Service news conference on Friday

Where the 24-year-old is and whether she is alive remains a mystery.

Last month, police said Merasty was from La Ronge, Sask., but on Friday her family said she’s from the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, which surrounds Prince Albert in northern Saskatchewan.

Merasty was in Edmonton 10 weeks ago to visit friends. Police said she came to the city with some other friends or acquaintances, but did not say who or how they knew Merasty.

She was last seen overnight on May 5, when she left the Continental Inn on 166 Street and Stony Plain Road in the west end around 1:30 a.m.

About an hour and a half later, she went into a 7-11 a few blocks away on 156 Street and 107 Avenue.

That’s the last time Merasty was captured on surveillance camera video, Edmonton police said.

However, her vehicle continued to be spotted as it travelled through central Alberta and then west to Vancouver Island, and back again east into northern Saskatchewan.

Merasty drives a 2007 black Hyundai Tucson with Saskatchewan plates, which was found 10 days after she vanished back in Saskatchewan with a new, shoddy paint job.

“It was silver, spray-painted, maybe,” said Rio. “The timeframe — we know that on the 12th it was black. We know that on the 15th, it was silver. For me to say it was spray painted, it’s just an assumption, but it didn’t look an extremely clear and neat job.”
