Fears about the fate of missing London woman Shelley Desrochers are growing after a week of intense searching, widespread media coverage and a police investigation have failed to solve the mystery.

“She is not the kind of person to take off for a month. I just don’t get it,” Jennifer Bogle said Friday. “I’ve never known her to really leave London and I’ve known her for 12 years.”

Friends spent the past week putting up posters downtown and in east London, canvassing merchants in the same areas, and checking with cab drivers and others to see if anyone had seen Desrochers.

The search has received increasing mainstream and social media coverage.

Desrochers has not been seen for several weeks, and her usually active Facebook page has no entries after Jan. 2.

Police received information about Desrochers’ disappearance Jan. 21 but have not put out a missing person report, prompting friends to question the intensity of the investigation.

“We haven’t put a media release out because it’s already been put out through The London Free Press and other media and through those family and friends themselves,” spokesperson Const. Sandasha Bough said Friday.

“We’ve spoken to family, we’ve spoken to friends, we are looking at any possible surveillance, any known contacts of this individual. We are following up with any tips we received.”

Police put out a missing persons release if “there is an imminent risk to that individual, be it weather related factors, medical factors, their age or foul play is suspected,” Bough said.

“If something changes, and we receive additional information and need to shift gears because we believe foul play is suspected and we receive additional information that might lead us in a different direction, we’ll put that information out.”
