A missing persons poster released by RCMP shows Jody Hockett smiling and hugging her toddler son.

​The boy is now 14. The investigation into his mother's disappearance from Grande Prairie, Alta., is in its 10th year.

Debra Stoner, Hockett's older sister, said the family needs closure.

"We will always hope that there will be answers," Stoner said.
"You can't say that somebody doesn't know because somebody does and they just need to have enough guts to come forward."

The Grande Prairie RCMP most recently called for tips from the public on Feb. 22, the ninth anniversary of Hockett's disappearance.

Hockett was last seen in 2009, getting into a white vehicle outside the York Hotel in Grande Prairie. The hotel has since been torn down.

She is described as five foot five, with dyed strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes.
The mother of two was 33 and wearing a tank top, a black zip-up hooded sweatshirt, jeans and high heels the day she disappeared.
"Grande Prairie RCMP continues to remain diligent in their approach to thoroughly investigate the Jody Hockett disappearance," RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Shawn Graham told CBC News.
"We are actively following up on all leads and any avenues of investigation in order to find Jody."
Hockett was also known by the names Jody Smith, Jodi and Jessie, he said.

Debra Stoner remembers Feb. 22, 2009 as a very cold day. The local resident guesses that the temperature dropped to -30 C or so the night her 33-year-old sister, Jody Hockett, went missing from downtown Grande Prairie.

“I always say it’s something like a bad movie, like a movie that you would never think was your life,” Stoner said.

“Even though it’s been 10 years, it’s a constant every day. There’s not a day that goes by, probably, where there [isn’t] something that comes up in the news or some conversation that comes [up] about Jody and what could have happened to her or where she is,” she added.
