UPDATE: Abducted Saskatoon woman found, search ended for alleged abductor

SASKATOON – Family and friends of an abducted Saskatoon woman were handing out flyers on Sunday in an effort to located her.

Global News spoke with her brother who said he just wants his sister brought home safely.

He spent hours canvassing neighbourhoods flyers in hand hoping to come across new information about his sister’s whereabouts.

“It’s one of the worst things you can imagine,” he said.

“You know, I’ve seen it in movies. You hear about it, but never experience it firsthand.”

Police say the woman was abducted in Saskatoon’s Haultain neighbourhood at about 4 p.m. on Friday.
