‘This is awful’: N.B. family continues to search for missing mother - New Brunswick | Globalnews.ca
''Erin Brooks was last seen inside the St. Mary’s First Nation Smoke Shop, captured quickly on the security camera, but her family hadn’t seen her since Dec. 25, 2021.''
''St. Mary’s First Nation Chief Allan Polchies says the community has rallied behind Brooks and her entire family. The council there put out a press release on Thursday.
It said it was pleading with brothers and sisters across Turtle Island to help bring Brooks home. The release quoted a post from Brooks’ Facebook page from 2018 on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
“I am a strong Maliseet woman. I am content. If there ever comes a time where I disappear, where I go for groceries and do not return. Where I go to run errands and do not return, please know: I did not voluntarily leave my family. I am not out partying. I did not go and commit suicide somewhere. If I DO NOT return home, know that someone took me against my will or worse. Do not make excuses as to WHY I may not have return home, because it is a lie. Look for me. Please,” her social media post read, according to the press release.''
''Anyone with information about where Brooks might be is encouraged to call the Fredericton Police Force at 460-2300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 if the person wishes to remain anonymous.
Brooks was last seen wearing blue jeans, a black jacket and black boots. She is five feet six inches tall, approximately 115 pounds and has brown eyes and brown hair with bangs''.

What has also been disturbing for Brooks's family and friends is a 2018 Facebook post, which addresses the systemic failure that is missing and murdered Indigenous women in the nation.
"It definitely tugs on the heartstrings," said Paul, who confirmed the post was by Brooks. "My sister was a strong woman. I know that she hasn't done anything to herself. That's just not how she was."
Stanovich also noted the troubling nature of the post in relation to the current situation.
"She posted that feeling … And now she is, years later, truly missing, so we have to do everything we can to find her."
