At 7:11 p.m. on November 28, 2012 a 911 call goes out to the police by a concerned passerby. A 26 year old woman is standing barefoot on the street in temperatures hovering just above zero degree.

Her name is Emma Fillipoff, a chef originally from the Ottawa area.

The police arrive and talk to the petite, attractive woman for 30 minutes to make sure she is fine. Then they leave her at the side of the road and drive off.

She is never seen again.

Look carefully at the photos of Emma far below and the description of the clothes she was wearing the day she disappeared--- camouflage pants, a toque (hat) and layered tops. She was carrying a jacket, an orange purse, a bag, a box and her shoes.
