Family members of 22-year-old Tess Richey have gathered in Toronto to search for their loved one after she went missing over the weekend.
Richey was last seen in the Church and Wellesley area Saturday at around 3 a.m. She was out with a friend at a bar, but her whereabouts after that are unknown. Her sisters told Global News it is out of character for her to run off or cease contact with loved ones.
The last form of communication they received from her was just after 3:30 a.m. on Saturday through a fitness tracking device. Her sisters said it detailed thousands of steps taken since midnight.
Jenna Richey drove from North Bay with her mother and fiancé to help look for her little sister. Tess is the youngest of five girls.

“We’re planning on getting some flyers out. We’re going to go to her last location,” Jenna said Monday. “We’re going to pound the pavement and do our very best.”
Tess is described as standing 5’2″ and having a thin build. She has dark brown eyes and dark brown wavy hair. She was last seen wearing a green army-style jacket with zippers, black leggings and over the knee black-heeled boots. Tess was carrying a multi-coloured purse.
Toronto police issued a statement Monday expressing concern for her safety.
“We love each other. We need each other,” said Tess’ sister Rachel.
“We can scream and fight with each other one day and then turn around then an hour later be watching movies. And I hope she knows that.”
Police said over the weekend another woman went missing in the same area hours before Tess was last seen. However, officers said on Tuesday that the woman was found.
