A day before, a few blocks away, on Lahey Road, a 50-year-old man had been robbed and shot in the torso.
And that Tuesday exactly three weeks ago was just after the fatal Cabot Trail bus crash.
But John Miller is asking all Nova Scotians to comb through their memories of that day in case they saw his daughter, Catie.
Catie Miller
Catie, whose full name is Catherine, sent Miller’s wife a text at 11:11 a.m. that day and hasn’t been seen since. The 29-year-old had recently moved to an apartment near the corner of Windmill Road and Stairs Street.
Her family hadn’t learned the details of whatever new daily routine she had established in the neighbourhood, Miller said.
Catie doesn’t have a car and she usually travels by bus or taxi, her father said. He doesn’t think she has been in the habit of going downtown very often, mostly staying closer to home.
“As far as we know she was at her apartment” that morning, he said. “She had only been in that apartment for a few months, so we’re not really sure where she went from there.” She has struggled with depression in the past, but her family had no reason to think it had been a problem recently.
