Vanessa may have been the occupant of a grey, 2002 Saturn Vue, with black steel rims with no hubcaps.
The vehicle may have been driven on Dundas Street East, in the area of Wharncliffe Road North and Oxford Street West, and elsewhere in the city or outskirts on the evening of Feb. 16 or early morning hours of Feb. 17.
Police are still looking for that vehicle.
Atchison, who lives in Forest, said she received a text message from Vanessa the night she disappeared asking if Atchison or her friend were interested in buying one of Vanessa’s old cellphones that she no longer used.
She texted back to say she wouldn’t be able to buy it until she was paid on the upcoming Friday, but never received a response.
Now Atchison said she calls the cellphone Vanessa was using at the time of her disappearance daily in the hopes her friend will respond.
“Vanessa is a great person, a very helpful, loving, caring person. It’s not like her to just get up and leave or disappear, especially not without telling somebody,” she said. “She always told somebody where she was going to be.
“For this to happen is very, very abnormal.”
Vanessa is described as white, 5-foot-3, 110-pounds with long brown hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information about this disappearance is asked to call the London Police Service at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent in online anonymously to
