...The map, although crudely drawn, appears to jibe with the geography and layout of that portion of the community. The scribbled roads seem to line up with the real ones, the school that borders the map to the east held classes on Tuesday and even the houses plotted as landmarks exist (although the names of the inhabitants it gives are said to be inaccurate).
On Tuesday, two RCMP officers and one RPS investigator looked around what they believe to be the area and consulted with the band leaders about the number and locations of wells on the reserve.
The map, which is not drawn to scale, points to three old wells situated in line with one another. Police found only one in the vicinity and have determined the next-nearest well to be about 2.5 kilometres away.
The old wells appear to be between what people here call School Hill and Gamblers Hill, an area that is dense with trees and prickly vegetation. Tamras great aunt, who asked not to be named and whose home is at the foot of Gamblers Hill, said she saw some police activity up that way this week.
I hope they find her, to bring closure to our family, she said.
