Command post set up in effort to locate woman missing since Feb. 17 | Montreal Gazette
''On Feb. 17, Rani Neena Chumber, 49, left her home around 5:40 p.m. after a discussion with her children and drove away. She did not bring her phone, wallet or identification documents. Later that day her car was found parked on Letellier St. near Gouin Blvd. W. The car’s doors were unlocked and the ignition key was inside the vehicle.
Surveillance cameras show Chumber exiting her car and walking north toward De la Merci Park by the Rivière des Prairies.

Police will deploy a command post from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 1260 Gouin Blvd. W. across from the park in an effort to determine whether potential witnesses may have noticed Chumber’s presence in the area or what happened after she entered the park.

The missing woman’s family became concerned for her safety after she uttered worrisome comments.

''Kirandeep Chumber’s mom, Neena Chumber Rani, went missing on Feb. 17 from her Ahuntsic-Cartierville home without a trace.

She has been searching for her ever since.''
“I just want to find her and I just have to keep going,” Chumber says. “Because if I don’t look for her, no one is going to look for her.”

Montreal police say 49-year-old Chumber Rani was last seen at 6 p.m. that evening and that those searching for her have a reason to fear for her health and safety.''
Unable to get medical help
Kirandeep says her mother had been experiencing bouts of depression for a while.
“What happened is she’s been feeling a certain way for a certain period of time now,” she says.
“We saw changes in her, but we didn’t really think much about it because it’s mental health and not a lot of people talk about mental health, especially in Brown, our Indian and South-Indian communities it’s not spoken often.”

Her daughter tried to get her help, reaching out to her family doctor and several hospitals, but she was always put on waiting lists and no one was able to offer her the help she needed.

“I was just being tossed from one place to another,” she says, “when what I really needed was for my mom to get the right help. And if I did, my mom would probably be here today.”

"On the day Chumber Rani disappeared, she made tea for her son and took out the trash before abruptly grabbing the keys and hurrying out the door, says Kirandeep.

Video surveillance footage would later show Chumber Rani walking into Parc des Bateliers in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough. It was the same park where 10-year-old Ariel Jeffrey Kouakou was last seen before disappearing in 2018.

"First it was Ariel, now it's my mom — I don't want another person going through this ever again," said Kirandeep, who is pleading with authorities to install cameras in the park itself to prevent this from happening in the future.

"I just miss my mom," she said. "It's really hard. It's really hard."

According to Kirandeep, Chumber Rani had been behaving strangely leading up to her disappearance. She wasn't sleeping well, and sometimes claimed that people were watching and recording her.

Her family members would stay up with her late into the night and try to soothe her to sleep.

Concerned, Kirandeep began making calls to therapists and the family doctor but was placed on waiting lists, unable to get a straight answer.

"Is it stress, is it depression, is it schizophrenia?" she questioned. She even brought her mother to the hospital at one point, where Chumber Rani was instructed to take melatonin to help her get some rest.

"I don't know what more I could have done. And I feel like — sometimes I feel like I didn't do enough," said Kirandeep.

'I just miss my mom': Missing woman’s daughter pleads for more mental health awareness

The comment that she sometimes felt that "people were watching and recording her" makes me wonder if she was experiencing something of that nature the night she left.

Sadly, having cameras in the park won't help. Nobody is going to be watching them 24/7.
It can be useful to get some visual evidence at a later date, but as for actively stopping suicides, cameras won't work.

It's not a huge park, and although there are plenty of trees, these surely would have been checked by police in the search for both of these people.
In Montreal, the bear winter trees would also reveal anyone who had committed suicide by hanging.

However, the park is on a river front, and I suspect that both Rani Chumber and Ariel Kouakou ended up in the Prairies River and were washed downstream by the current.

MOO.

“I just want to find her and I just have to keep going,” Chumber said.

“Because if I don’t look for her, no one is going to look for her.”

Chumber believes that her mother dealt with undiagnosed depression and struggled to cope with it for the past several months.

“What happened is she’s been feeling a certain way for a certain period of time now,” she said.

“We saw changes in her, but we didn’t really think much about it because it’s mental health and not a lot of people talk about mental health; especially in brown, our Indian and South-Indian communities, it’s not spoken often.”

Chumber tried to get help, reaching out to their family doctor and several hospitals, but she said she was always put on waiting lists for psychiatric consults and no one was able to offer her the help she needed.

“I was just being tossed from one place to another, when what I really needed was for my mom to get the right help. And if I did, my mom would probably be here today.”

“I wish they had diagnosed her, because honestly maybe today I’d have my mom,” Chumber said.''

''Rani is described as 1.5 metres tall and medium built with long grey-black hair, black eyes and brown skin. She also has a beauty mark on her right eye.

She was last seen wearing a brown, knee-length coat, a dark tuque and brown boots. She speaks English, French and Punjabi and is known to spend time in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville and Parc-Extension areas.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.''

Montreal police say they have found the body of Neena Rani Chumber, the mother who went missing from her Ahuntsic-Cartierville home more than two months ago.

The 49-year-old went missing Feb. 17 and had last been seen on surveillance footage walking into Parc des Bateliers, on Gouin Boulevard.

Her daughter Kirandeep Chumber spearheaded the months-long search for her mother. Kirandeep says her mother had been dealing with bouts of depression.

There has got to be a better way to get the help people need in times like this. How in the world are there waiting lists for mental health? I know. I know the medical system is strained to the max with staffing shortages and an overabundance of patients, especially now that we're coming out of the COVID pandemic. But mental health should be pretty high at the top on the list of priorities behind acute emergencies, imo. If, like in this case, a patient and their family are continually reaching out for help, at a minimum refer them to an organization such as NAMI (does Canada have an equivalent?) or suicide hotlines or something. It makes me so sad that a life was lost because the "system" can't function properly. If only one doctor or one medical practitioner or one counselor had stayed in the office for even just one hour later for just one day, it's possible one life may have been saved.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Rani's loved ones. May she rest in eternal peace. :(
