Since that day, there has been no sign of her and no arrests have been made.

According to Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers, Henrickson, who lived with her family in Squamish, told her parents she was going camping at Cultus Lake, but she went to Bowen Island to party with friends.

She attended a party on Harding Road, then she went to another party in an area known as Leroyville, about eight km away. She went back and forth between the two parties, Crime Stoppers investigators found.

Henrickson left the Harding Road party with her ex- boyfriend, Gavin Arnott, sometime after 4 a.m. on June 19.

The next morning, June 20, they were seen walking hand in hand in the direction of the Snug Cove Ferry Terminal.

At around 6:30 a.m. the pair were spotted near the Miller’s Landing turn-off.

She was not seen again.

“Since IHIT took conduct of this investigation in 2010, we have been working diligently to pursue every investigational avenue available,” investigators said in a release on Wednesday.
