A former Yellowknife resident has been reported missing in northern British Columbia.

Smithers RCMP say Jennifer Derbyshire, 41, was reported missing on Tuesday night. After dropping her kids off at school that morning, she never made it to work and hasn’t been seen since.

According to police, this is out of character for her and those closest to her are concerned for her wellbeing.

RCMP have reason to believe she’s driving a blue Dodge Caravan with the license plate 418 KRH.

Officials also say it’s possible she’s headed east to see family in Prince George.

Derbyshire, who’s originally from Yellowknife, is described as 5ft 8in tall with a medium build, shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information on Derbyshire’s whereabouts is asked to contact Smithers RCMP at (250) 847-3233.

Smithers RCMP believe Derbyshire could be driving this blue Dodge Caravan.
