Her mother points to a gold-and-brown basket — a trinket that Atwi had painted — a vanilla-scented candle she bought, and the many, many jackets and clothes she gifted to her parents.

On a dark brown wooden table by the doorway sits Atwi’s favourite perfume, a half-used bottle of Coco Chanel.

Last Dec. 8, the 32-year-old went missing. She was last seen in the area of 48 Street and 146 Avenue at 6:30 a.m. About six hours later, her empty vehicle was found in the Rundle Park area.

Edmonton police have classified her disappearance as not suspicious, and spokeswoman Cheryl Voordenhout told Postmedia last week there have been no updates on the case.

The young woman’s mother, Salwa Atwi, points to the leopard-print hijab she is wearing and said that it was a gift from her daughter, too.

“I wear it to feel close to her,” she said.

It’s been a difficult seven months for the family.
