Burnaby RCMP are renewing their appeal for help to find a missing woman amid growing concerns about her wellbeing as she goes without essential medication.

Emily Maya was reported missing after leaving a family home in South Burnaby on July 2.

In a Tuesday media release, Mounties said she has been spotted in Vancouver and Burnaby since then, but that police haven’t been able to confirm her welfare.

Police say her disappearance is out of character. She’s also unfamiliar with the Lower Mainland and has appeared disoriented when sighted.
