''The mother of a 17-year-old from Poplar River First Nation in northern Manitoba is pleading to the public to help find her daughter after she went missing from a hotel lobby in Winnipeg on Oct. 6 at around 9 p.m.
“She went downstairs and just never came back to the hotel room,” Deborah Bittern said of her daughter Mackenzie Sinclair while holding back tears in an interview with APTN News.
Bittern, along with her daughter Sinclair and Sinclair’s 15-month-old son, travelled from Poplar River for Sinclair’s son’s eye surgery at Winnipeg’s Children’s Hospital at the Health Sciences Centre. The surgery was scheduled for Oct. 7.
Bittern said her daughter’s disappearance is out of character for her and when they were having supper that Monday night, Sinclair talked about how relieved she was that her son was going to get the help that he needed.''
