Catcheway family finds bones

http://winnipeg.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20080706/wpg_catcheway_missing_woman_080723/20080730/?hub=WinnipegHome

Updated: Wed Jul. 30 2008 19:03:21



The family of missing 18-year-old, Jennifer Catcheway, say they have sent bones in to the RCMP for examination.

They found the bones while searching in a wooded area near Gypsumville Tuesday night. RCMP say so far there is no confirmation on whether or not the bones are human.

Despite the recent discovery, the family took a day off from the search to hold a vigil for the teenager at the Manitoba Legislature Wednesday afternoon.

Jennifers' mother Bernice told CTV News her heart was still in the search at Gypsumville, but she attended the vigil because she wanted to bring attention to the plight of missing aboriginal women across the country.

The family says they are tired, but that they won't give up their search.

Teenager missing for over a month

Thursday, June 19 was Jennifer Catcheway's 18th birthday.

She called her mom Bernice at about nine o'clock that morning and told her she was in Grand Rapids and was coming home to the Long Plain First Nation with two male friends.

Someone saw her getting into a truck in Grand Rapids later that day. She hasn't been seen since.

More than one month later, the search continues for the missing woman -- a search that has grown more desperate with every week that goes by.

The RCMP's Major Crime Unit and the Serious Crimes Unit are now helping in the search, signs that this may be more than a missing person case.

The search seemed to reach a climax on July 4, when search teams began scouring the Interlake bush near Gypsumville, 270 kilometres north of Winnipeg.

Police called it an "area of interest".

The RCMP Hasty Unit was on the scene -- the team that looks for people lost in dense bush, or to find evidence that is difficult to get to.

They even had a Manitoba Conservation helicopter flying overhead, but the search failed to find anything.

Police questioned two men

Police did make an arrest - they brought in two men for questioning, but released them without charging them.

Meanwhile, her family and volunteers continued to search near the teen's home near Portage la Prairie.

"Something happened to her on the 19th, which is her birthday, coming from Grand Rapids," her father Wilfred said in an interview with CTV News earlier this month.

"I feel she's in trouble somewhere," said her mother, Bernice.

The family has been following any lead they find. Someone said they saw her in Swan River, so the family drove several hours to the town, but didn't find anything.

They also heard she was seen at a house party on the Dakota Tipi First Nation, which has also been the target of numerous searches.

Teams even took to canoes in the Assiniboine River to search the river banks.

Reward now at $7,500

The total reward now stands at $7,500 - split between the Assembly of First Nations, the Long Plain First Nation, and Manitoba Search and Rescue.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of Jennifer Leigh Catcheway, you're asked to call 777-0553.

Faith keeps mom searching for daughter

http://www6.lexisnexis.com/publisher/EndUser?Action=UserDisplayFullDocument&orgId=574&topicId=100020826&docId=l:825602290&isRss=true


"We don't want to fight. It sounds strange but my faith, you know, I can't allow my anger to get in there...I just want to find my girl, that's all I want," said Catcheway, a Pentecostal church pastor in Portage la Prairie.

Jennifer Catcheway's 38-year-old uncle by marriage, Charles Parenteau, and her 28-year-old cousin Shawn Catcheway, both of Portage la Prairie, were questioned by RCMP after the teen's disappearance and released.

A red pickup truck used by Parenteau was also seized in Minitonas and later released by RCMP officers, and an RCMP spokeswoman has refused to identify any suspects or persons of interest connected to the disappearance. The RCMP major crime and serious crime units are investigating Catcheway's disappearance.

FULL TEXT

By Gabrielle Giroday

DAKOTA TIPI FIRST NATION -- Some days, she wakes up and thinks her missing daughter is alive. Other days, she feels deep in her gut that her baby is dead.

Regardless, Bernice Catcheway calls herself a woman of God, and she'll need that faith in the long days ahead searching for her missing daughter, 18-year-old Jennifer Leigh Catcheway.

Monday afternoon, nearly one month after her daughter was last photographed at a party June 19 in Grand Rapids after driving there with two male relatives, Bernice Catcheway began another 12-hour day tearing apart brush in a forested field near Dakota Tipi First Nation.

Though Bernice Catcheway said her family have firm suspicions about the involvement of one man in the disappearance of their daughter, the Christian woman said her main purpose now is to swallow her bitterness and find her child.

"We don't want to fight. It sounds strange but my faith, you know, I can't allow my anger to get in there...I just want to find my girl, that's all I want," said Catcheway, a Pentecostal church pastor in Portage la Prairie.

"I feel like I can't go home."

Bernice and her husband Wilfred Catcheway said they received a note from their daughter two days before her last confirmed sighting with a reference to a used car she'd received from her father as an early birthday gift, on June 17.

Family members have said while they received calls from Jennifer in the two days following, they remain unsure of her precise whereabouts after she left.

Jennifer's 18th birthday was June 19.

Family members and a band official confirmed they have focused their search on Dakota Tipi after speaking to a handful of youth about Jennifer's supposed appearance at a party with a man she knew around the time of her disappearance on the dry reserve of about 200 year-round residents.

That information remains unconfirmed, said her mother.

Jennifer Catcheway's 38-year-old uncle by marriage, Charles Parenteau, and her 28-year-old cousin Shawn Catcheway, both of Portage la Prairie, were questioned by RCMP after the teen's disappearance and released.

Both were known to police.

"They're relatives of my husband's," said Bernice Catcheway, when asked about her relationship with the two men.

A red pickup truck used by Parenteau was also seized in Minitonas and later released by RCMP officers, and an RCMP spokeswoman has refused to identify any suspects or persons of interest connected to the disappearance. The RCMP major crime and serious crime units are investigating Catcheway's disappearance.

Posters of the missing teen -- with a smiling photo of Jennifer taken in the church where her mother preaches -- are plastered on store windows and in restaurants buzzing with persistent rumours about the girl's disappearance.

Many members of the Catcheway family live on three nearby streets in the northeast corner of Portage. The family is well-known to residents of the town. A confrontation involving family members reportedly erupted last week outside the home of one of the men arrested.

"Nobody's going to talk to you," said one Catcheway family member Monday, who lives on the same street.

Though no drugs or alcohol are allowed on Dakota Tipi, Chief Cornell Pashe said policing all properties around the clock is not possible. Pashe said a handful of youth on the reserve were interviewed by RCMP officers, and band officials spoke to their parents to encourage the youth to share information.

"We've done everything we can," said Pashe.

Anyone with information about Jennifer's whereabouts or interested in volunteering in the search can call (204) 777-0553. A $5,000 reward has been donated for information leading to locating Jennifer.

Reward boosted to $7,500 in search for missing teen

The Manitoba Search and Rescue Association has upped the reward for information to $7,500 in the search for a teenager who has been missing for four weeks.

Last week, the association said it would pay $2,500 for information leading searchers to Jennifer Leigh Catcheway. The Portage la Prairie girl has been missing since June 19, the day before her 18th birthday.

The reward jumped to $5,000 on the weekend, and spokesman George Leonard said it was being increased again Thursday after the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs kicked in an additional $2,500.

"Somebody knows something," Leonard said. "A reward is a way to make sure that people step forward, and I believe that this will eventually provide the key information that we need."

The search for Catcheway has focused on the area around the Dakota Tipi First Nation, southwest of Portage la Prairie, where it's believed the teen may have been attending or planned to attend a party.

Searchers, including four professional teams with dogs, combed a wide area surrounding the small First Nation, including the banks of the Assiniboine River. The operation is also looking at other areas of interest, Leonard said last week.

"We get a lot of calls from people that will phone and say, 'I didn't think it was important, but…' and then they provide this piece of information. And sometimes small pieces like that can help make up your puzzle that you're trying to solve," Leonard said.

Two men were taken into custody late last week for questioning on the case, but were released without being charged.

Catcheway is described as an aboriginal woman with a fair complexion, medium-length brown hair and hazel eyes. She is about five feet seven inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds.

Anyone with information on Catcheway's whereabouts is asked to call the RCMP in Portage la Prairie at (204) 857-4445, Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or Manitoba Search and Rescue at (204) 777-0553.

Vigil held for missing Manitoba teen

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/manitoba/story/2008/07/30/catcheway-vigil.html

Last Updated: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 | 11:38 AM



.Jennifer Leigh Catcheway last contacted her family on June 19, the day before her 18th birthday. An aboriginal women's group is holding a seven-hour vigil at the Manitoba legislature on Wednesday to draw attention to the case of a teenager who has been missing for more than 40 days.

Ikwe-Widdjiitiwin is holding the vigil for Jennifer Catcheway between noon and 7 p.m. CT at the Manitoba legislature.

The Portage la Prairie teen was last in touch with her family on June 19, the day before her 18th birthday. She failed to show up at a party in her honour, and hasn't been heard from since.

Bernice Catcheway hopes publicity about the vigil will result in new tips that could lead searchers to her daughter.

"No matter which way, I'll find her. I'll take her home," she said.

"I'm a mum, a mother, and I can't see my baby out in the wilderness somewhere," she said, her voice breaking with emotion. "I've got to find her, and I know we're going to find her."

The Manitoba Search and Rescue Association is offering a $7,500 reward for information leading to Catcheway.

The search has focused on areas around the Grand Rapids and Dakota Tipi First Nations. Two men were taken into custody in mid-July for questioning on the case, but were released without being charged.

Catcheway is described as an aboriginal woman with a fair complexion, medium-length brown hair and hazel eyes. She is about five feet seven inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds.

Anyone with information on Catcheway's whereabouts is asked to call the RCMP in Portage la Prairie at (204) 857-4445, Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or Manitoba Search and Rescue at (204) 777-0553.

Reward increases for Catcheway info

Updated 3 months ago


The reward to help find missing teen Jennifer Leigh Catcheway has now reached $10,000.

A recent announcement was made by Brokenhead Ojibway First Natio the band is contributing $2,500 to bring the reward amount up to $10,000 in an effort to help in the search for Catcheway.

When the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) held its general assembly in August at Brokenhead Ojibway First Nation, the Catcheway family attended and spoke about their plight to try to find their missing daughter Jennifer.

"It's a sad thing when something like that happens," said Brokenhead Chief Deborah Chief. "I can't imagine what they go through, all the stress and worry and grief. If we can lessen that, then that is why we did it, to help them out somehow. As First Nations people, we have got to be able to help each other."

Chief said the funds donated by Brokenhead were offered to the family to be used as needed for food, gas, money for searching, or for the reward.

Manitoba Search and Rescue Association (MSRA), the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and Long Plain First Nation had made donations for the reward previously.

George Leonard, from MSRA, said all contributions to the reward may encourage someone to come forward with information about Catcheway's whereabouts.

Catcheway, 18, has been missing since June 19. Her family last heard from their daughter on the day of her birthday and was expecting her home for a barbecue.

The Portage la Prairie teen was reported to have been in the Grand Rapids area and may have been seen at Dakota Tipi First Nation before her disappearance.

Portage la Prairie teenager missing.

http://www.articlearchives.com/trends-events/missing-persons/1890847-1.html

Date: Friday, August 1 2008


When Jennifer Leigh Catcheway failed to show up for her 18th birthday party her family started to suspect foul play. Now the Portage la Prairie teenager has been missing for over a month. Catcheway was last seen at a party in Grand Rapids on June 19 2008.

Three days after she went missing Mary Starr, Catcheway's 30-year old sister and Catcheway's mother tried to file a missing persons report but were toldy by police that it was too early to do so.

"They acted like it's her 18th birthday, so she's out drinking somewhere. They didn't help us right away, only once she had been missing for a week and a half," said Starr in a news release. "If she was a white girl they would be on this."

Catcheway had been living with her boyfriend in Portage, Manitoba and working at a local restaurant at the time of her disappearance.

The last known people to be seen with Catcheway was Charles Parenteau her uncle and her cousin Shawn Catcheway who were arrested and later released without being charged. Parenteau's pickup truck was also seized then released back to him.

"The most important thing right now is to find her and bring her home and bring closure to my family. If she was alive, she would've called home. If she was okay, she would be here, and she's not so, the reality is, with her being gone so long," said Starr.

"Right now she's a missing person and we are looking for her. But the time span that has gone on and the fact that there has been no contact with the family or her friends is a definite area of concern from our end," said RCMP spokeswoman Sergeant Line Karpish in a news release.

Anyone with information about Catcheways whereabouts is asked to contact the Portage La Prairie RCMP at (204) 857-4445 or the Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Mother of missing woman says only faith sustains her

http://www.christianweek.org/stories.php?id=194

By Aaron Epp | Manitoba Correspondent

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, MB—Bernice Catcheway hasn’t seen her in daughter in two-and-a-half months.

“The only thing sustaining me is my faith in God,” says the exhausted mother who is still working to find out what happened.

Eighteen-year-old Jennifer Leigh Catcheway disappeared June 19. Her mother along with her husband Wilfred and other family members and friends have been searching ever since.

“I’m sure we’ve walked to B.C. and back already with all the miles we’ve put in searching in the last month-and-a-half,” Bernice told ChristianWeek over the phone from Fairford First Nation, a community three hours north of Winnipeg. She was about to begin another day of searching for Jennifer.

“I’m tired—I’m physically tired,” said Bernice, the lead pastor at Harvest Call Ministries, a Pentecostal congregation of around 30 people in Portage la Prairie.

Bernice last heard from Jennifer on June 17. Her last confirmed sighting was two days later at a party in Grand Rapids. Jennifer’s uncle, Charles Parenteau, 38, and her cousin, Shawn Catcheway, 28, were both questioned in relation to the disappearance and later released. Both men were with Jennifer shortly before she disappeared, and Bernice says Parenteau was the last person to see her.

Bernice holds Parenteau accountable, even though there is no evidence linking him to the disappearance. If they cannot find Jennifer, Bernice says the family hopes to at least find evidence as to what happened, and who was involved.

“If she could call, she would call,” says Bernice. “If she could come home, she would come home. She had no reason to run away.”

Bernice says she takes solace in the fact that she raised her daughter to believe and trust in the Lord just as her parents do.

“She knew to pray, and that’s my hope—that whatever happened, she knew to pray.”

Bernice’s congregation has responded by offering prayer support, financial support and their time. Many have spent weekends searching for Jennifer with the Catcheway family.

“They’ve been so supportive since day one,” Bernice says.

Sheila YellowQuill attends Harvest Call and has known Bernice for four years. YellowQuill describes her as compassionate, caring, humble and strong in her faith. Even though the search for her daughter has been trying, Bernice continues to check up on, encourage and pray for the YellowQuills as well as other members of the congregation.

“This is a situation where you don’t want to ask your pastor for prayer,” YellowQuill says, “but Bernice still takes the time to call. She truly has the strength of the Lord, and it’s her example that encourages and deepens my faith in the Lord.”

Bernice says that if she has shown any strength throughout this ordeal, it is because of God. If she finds Jennifer, Bernice says, “I’m going to dance like David danced—I’m going to dance so hard, because it will be a time of rejoicing.”

Whatever the outcome Bernice says she knows there’s a reason.

“God’s ways are higher; His purposes are higher,” she says. “I want to preach to people that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. If I can tell someone and they can receive that truth, then it’s all good.”

Hundreds search for missing Manitoba women

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20081101/missing_women_081101/20081101

Updated Sat. Nov. 1 2008 4:21 PM ET



Hundreds of volunteers are searching for two young women who have seemingly disappeared without a trace in separate incidents in Manitoba.

The volunteers joined forces with the Manitoba Search and Rescue Association on Saturday to look for Amber McFarland, 24, and Jennifer Catcheway, 18, both of Portage la Prairie, Man.

McFarland was last seen in Portage la Prairie in the early hours of Oct. 18, and was reported missing the next day after she didn't show up for a shift at a local Mark's Work Wearhouse.

Catcheway was last seen June 19, around the time of her 18th birthday. Police received tips from the public and in July made two arrests in connection with her disappearance, but later released both suspects without laying charges against them, RCMP Sgt. Line Karpish told CTV.ca Saturday.

They also searched for Catcheway in an area near Gypsumville, Man., more than 250 kilometres north of Portage la Prairie, but they have found no sign of the missing teenager.

MSRA operations manager George Leonard said his organization had 267 volunteers assisting in search efforts on Saturday morning, and more than 300 taking part in the afternoon.

His organization has been searching for Catcheway since she first disappeared, and in the case of McFarland, they began their search a week and a half ago.

At present, they are looking for both women at the same time.

"They seem to overlap somewhat even though we don't believe they're related," Kapish told CTV.ca on Saturday.

Since Oct. 23, the MSRA-led search efforts have searched the area within 16 km of Portage la Prairie, he said.

Leonard said searchers are looking for any clues that they can link to the missing women.

"As far as we know, we've found evidence and articles that we believe (are pertinent to the investigation), but we have to forward them to the RCMP to find out if any of that is valid," he said.

'We've never quit'

The MSRA intends to continue searching with a large number of volunteers on Sunday, and then they will "reassess" their plans, Leonard said.

"We don't quit, we've never quit," he said. "Tomorrow will be our last major search and then we'll go back to where we'll do our small searches, then once we have information we might hold another large search."

Karpish said police were not taking part in Saturday's search because they have no information to suggest where McFarland might be.

"We have had some information from the public but clearly we still need it because we don't have her back," she said.

"Every piece of information is a piece of the puzzle and we need a good many of them to get the picture."

Karpish said police have been told it is "very uncharacteristic" of McFarland to have been absent from work.

She would not say where McFarland was last seen.

In the case of Catcheway's disappearance, Karpish said they haven't turned up any trace of the missing teenager since she went missing four-and-a-half months ago.

"We've been looking for her ever since," Karpish said.

Anyone with information about either woman is asked to call Portage la Prairie RCMP at 204-857-4445 or to call Manitoba Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Families of missing girls hold awareness march

http://winnipeg.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20081209/wpg_March_missing_girls_081209/20081209/?hub=WinnipegHome

Updated: Tue Dec. 09 2008 18:10:49



Some Manitoba families are bracing themselves for a very tough Christmas.

Jennifer Catcheway, Claudette Osborne and Amber McFarland, all went missing several months ago.

On Tuesday the families gathered with friends to hold a march in the girl's honour to offer hope to each other.

"We love you Jen, Come home, come home," cried Catcheway's mother.

Bernice Catcheway's daughter Jennifer vanished without a trace nearly six-months ago.

Time isn't healing this wound for Bernice, in part because the wound remains open until Jennifer is found.

It's the same story for the mothers of Claudette Osborne and Amber McFarland.

"It gets harder. It gets harder every day," said Lori McFarland

The families have come together to focus their efforts, by waving signs with the girls pictures on them, and putting photos of their loved ones in the hands of strangers.

They believe someone, somewhere has information that will bring their kids home.

"We maintain hope because we don't have anything that tells us otherwise, and until we do, we will remain hopeful," said Lori McFarland at the Legislative grounds on Tuesday.

The families have been searching for months, and with Christmas approaching the pain they're feeling is starting to intensify.

"I can't be in that spirit right now, as my daughters missing, but I know I have to keep on going for my grandchildren," explains Brenda Osborne.

They keep going on because they believe there is still a chance their daughters could come home, though Bernice Catcheway knows that hope grows slimmer each day.

"It'll take a miracle, I know, but I believe in miracles, and Jennifer if you're out there, we love you Jen."

With a report from CTV's Jon Hendricks

Portage la Prairie and surrounding area residents were in shock when two Portage-area women went missing in 2008.

The community came together to help find Jennifer Catcheway, 18, who disappeared on June 19, and Amber McFarland, 24, who was last seen on Oct. 18.

In October, massive land searches of volunteers led by members of the Manitoba Search and Rescue Association hit the bush by foot, on horseback and on quads. The Assiniboine River diversion spillway, located southwest of Portage, was drained so searchers could check the basin for any clues of the missing women.

The public significantly contributed time, money and other resources to help with the massive weekend searches.

Overhead, aircraft searched the waterways while the floodgates of the Assiniboine River were closed in early November.

For Catcheway, searches were also conducted in the Grand Rapids area over the summer.

On Dec. 9, the families of the missing women took their plea to the steps of Manitoba Legislature hoping to continue in their efforts to spread the word to the community about the need to try and help find their loved ones. A candlelight vigil was also held in front of Portage City Hall on Dec. 21.

The missing women have not been found.

Families of missing women are on the march

Posted By The Staff, The Portage Daily Graphic

Posted 18 mins ago


The families of the two Portage women, Jennifer Catcheway and Amber McFarland, will be in Winnipeg on Saturday to participate in the Memorial March for the Murdered and Missing Women of Manitoba.
The two women have been missing since October 2008 and similar marches are being held in Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, Regina, Thunder Bay, and Sudbury.
These families will be traveling to the Saints Anglican Church on Colony Street and the march starts just after 5:30.
Participants have been asked to wear red or purple and dress warmly for the walk.
Lori McFarland hopes tonight's march will remind people that these two women are still missing and possibly encourage someone to come forward with any information.
The disappearance of Jennifer Catcheway and Amber McFarland is indeed a tragedy, but one that is part of a march larger epidemic. There has been 184 missing or murdered women in Manitoba since 1961 and this March is set to remind the public of the people that have been lost.
