The family of a Cape Breton woman whose been missing since Easter weekend is speaking out in the hopes that a renewed interested in the case will help them find answers.

Debbie Ann Hutchinson, 59, of Sydney was last seen on April 14. She was reported missing by her family on April 24, who told police they haven’t been able to contact her.

Debbie’s brother John Hutchinson says her disappearance has been a total mystery to the family and has caused a great deal of heartache.

ATV riders found Debbie's burned vehicle in a wooded-area not far from her home on April 25 in Cossitt Heights.

There were extensive searches by land and air in the weeks that followed, but the family says there has been no new developments.

"I want her name and her picture out there because there has to be somebody who knows something,” says Debbie’s niece Amy Hutchinson.

Police say that while the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are suspicious, there has been nothing specific to indicate foul play.

Debbie’s family says there has been no new activity on her bank account and they have felt from the beginning that something just isn't right.

"Her dog, which she never went anywhere without, was found in the house with the door locked and her car was found burned three or four days after that and it just throws a real monkey wrench into the whole situation,” says John.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Cape Breton Regional Police or Cape Breton Crime Stoppers.

It would be interesting to know what information does change the investigation into homocide. There was never any suspicion posted earlier about this case, or?
