WINNIPEG – One week after Thelma Krull went missing, her family and friends of Thelma Krull are planning a community walk for Saturday night.

The Homicide Unit has taken the lead in the search for the 57-year old grandmother.

“It’s been hard,” said Lisa Besser, Krull’s daughter. “As every day goes past it is harder and harder.”

Krull disappeared after going for a walk in the East Kildonan area on July 11th.

“We want to gather the volunteers, friends, supporters,” said Connie Muscat, Krull’s co-worker. “It has been overwhelming and we want them to know how important they are in this.”

Krull’s family organized the event as a way to show continued support for the search efforts.

They are asking people planning on attending to bring flashlights, dress for the weather and stay together with the group.

The family is stressing this is a walk not search party.
