“As the days go by, we are more focused on bringing her home rather than trying to find a conviction,” said Carson Poitras, Happy’s father.

“We just want to bring our girl home.”

According to a release, PAPS investigators are still actively investigating the file of Happy Charles and have interviewed a number of witnesses in relation to her disappearance. In the video, there is surveillance footage of Happy at Prince Albert Collegiate Institute (PACI) around midnight on April 3, 2017. PAPS believes this is the last time anyone saw her.

“Someone knows what happened to Happy Charles,” said PAPS Sgt. Kathy Edwardsen, who specializes in historical and missing persons. “Someone has the information we need and we need them to come forward to help Happy’s family find closure.”

Police say Happy was born March 22, 1975. She has brown eyes and black hair and a scar on her left cheek. She has a tattoo of a rose on her right hand.
