It’s been seven years since Caitlin Potts went missing, and friends and family of the Indigenous Enderby woman aren’t giving up the fight for justice.

Caitlin’s mother, Priscilla Potts, and Caitlin’s teenage son Shane, drove from Pigeon Lake, Alta. to join a gathering outside the Vernon RCMP detachment Tuesday afternoon.

Candles were lit, sage was burned and rally cries were shouted calling for justice for Caitlin and other missing and murdered women.

Caitlin was last seen in Enderby on Feb. 22, 2016. She was in addiction services when she disappeared. A missing person’s report was filed March 1, 2016. A year later, surveillance footage was released showing Caitlin entering Hudson’s Bay at the Orchard Park Shopping Centre in Kelowna. The clip was from Feb. 21, 2016.

Even though Caitlin’s body hasn’t been found, Priscilla went into the police detachment to officially declare her daughter deceased.
