The family of a missing Hamilton woman says it’s been years since they last heard from her.
They’ve reached out to police, who are now investigating, and are asking the public to help as well.
Family members last heard from 35-year-old Keenan Venuk in 2019. And while police say they don’t have any information that would suggest she’s been harmed, her family is concerned over the years of silence.
Venuk’s family is hoping to get a message to her, asking the 35-year-old to reach out and just let them know she’s okay.
“We don’t want to mess your new life up, if that’s what she’s done, if she’s made a new life for herself, we just want to know that you’re well,” family said.
The last time the family saw Keenan was at her grandmother, Doreen Somerville’s, 75th birthday party in Cambridge in November of 2017.
Doreen says she didn’t notice anything different about her granddaughter that day.
“She seemed to be, you know, the same, she seemed to be happy where she was. But I know she always seemed to go out West, that was something she was working towards,” Somerville said.
Keenan and her grandma continued to email back and forth for several years after the party, until all communication stopped in 2019, when her family believes she moved to B.C.
“She did not like you to ask too many questions, so you didn’t want to push her and stop her from calling, that sort of thing,” Somerville said.
“That would have been the last email, that she said they had got there, they had somewhere to live, she had a part-time job, that Rudie the dog liked having a backyard. And that was the last I heard of her.”
