The parents of a 40-year-old Abbotsford, B.C., woman have travelled to Costa Rica to try to find their missing daughter.
Jaclyn (Jackie) Ferland-Smith has been living in Costa Rica with her Canadian husband for just over the last two years.
He was the last to see her on the evening of Aug. 17 at their home in Playa Del Hermosa, police said.
Ferland-Smith has a degree in kinesiology and worked as a Canadian military training officer, so she may have contacts across Canada and internationally, according to police.
