"Jul 25, 2023
The mother of missing Hamilton woman Emily Bailey is hoping a nightmare that’s gone on for more than a year may finally be coming to an end.Hamilton police say they’ve investigated extensively but don’t know where Bailey is and are now treating the investigation as a homicide.Lori Bevan spoke to CHCH News Tuesday about the anguish that followed the disappearance of her daughter and her struggle with the possibility that Bailey may not be coming home.Bevan said no parent should have to go through what she and her family have endured.“I’m losing hope. Every day those tears come more and more and the thoughts, and in 18 months nobody should have the thoughts like a parent should never have the thoughts of where their child is,” Bevan said.Bailey hasn’t been seen since January 1, 2022. She reportedly left her home on New Year’s Day and disappeared.She was 23 at the time and has two young daughters.Police said they’re now asking the Hamilton Police Board to approve a $20,000 reward for information.In their submission to the board, Police Chief Frank Bergen said investigators believe Bailey was murdered.He said they “believe there are individuals with knowledge of what happened to Emily Bailey and the location of her remains.”Police said they hope the reward money would provide an incentive for someone with intimate knowledge to come forward to help solve this murder.Bevan is struggling with the thought that her daughter may have been murdered … or may come home.“I go down to the beach, the lake, thinking ‘are you in there?’ What a horrible thing to have to think of,” Bevan said.“I had to tell her five-year-old yesterday that there’s a possibility mommy’s not coming back. And she was just so upset.”Bevan said she’s convinced somebody knows something about where Bailey is and hopes a reward could help.''

It's been a long time since LE released any new information about this case. For her family's sake I certainly hope Emily can be found.

interesting! did anybody ask why they chose the location?
im also more interested to know WHO made the end decision for the location.

The location is just a large, historic well known public park in Hamilton. It’s a go to spot to organize such a thing

Bevan said she’s convinced somebody knows something about where Bailey is and hopes a reward could help.

I agree.

IMO it seems highly likely that someone must have information regarding Emily's disappearance. If so, I'm wondering who has this information and why they haven't provided it to local LE.

Has anyone talked to Emily’s ex boyfriend or the father of her kids? Maybe they know something or maybe someone who was at the party on New Years Eve knows something

IIRC a close friend of Emily's indicated in a podcast last year that the only people at this New Years Eve 'party' were probably Emily and the man she was seeing at the time. The cab driver reported driving them both to his home on Weir St. that night. AFAIK, there have been no reports of other people at this 'party'.

Hamilton police investigate TikTok posted on missing Emily Bailey’s account

Hamilton police have requested information from TikTok after a photo was published on the account of a woman missing for over a year.

www.chch.com

''Almost a year and a half after her disappearance, a photo of a dog laying on grass with a stick in its mouth was posted on Bailey’s TikTok account. The song “Cupid” by the South Korean girl group Fifty Fifty is also playing.

Police told CHCH News that investigators believe her account was hacked. Officers have contacted TikTok in order to receive information about the origin of the post.
“This requires judicial authorization and will take time and investigative follow-up,” a police spokesperson said in an email to CHCH News.
Anyone with information on Bailey’s disappearance is asked to contact investigators at 905-546-4863.''

Police reclassified the case from "missing person" to "homicide" in March, and searched the Weir Street home in July, but haven't provided much information to the public on the investigation.

A recommendation report reveals the homicide unit has “exhausted many investigative avenues” in a search for a body and identity of the person or persons responsible.

“Unfortunately, based on the evidence, investigators believe Emily Bailey was murdered and her body subsequently disposed of,” it reads.

Despite numerous interviews, homicide detectives say little has come out of them, stating that there have only been a “limited number of people willing” to provide information on the case.
