Found Deceased Canada - Twyla Roscovich, 38, Quadra Island, BC, 6 Sept 2017

[Dalagali]

Friends and family of a 38-year-old environmental activist and independent filmmaker are searching for her on Quadra Island this morning, fearing she may be in jeopardy.

Twyla Roscovich — a resident of Sointula, an isolated village on Malcolm Island — last connected with friends on Wednesday Sept. 6.

Her cellphone sent a signal through a cell tower from Quadra Island on Sept. 7, but has gone dead since then.

Campbell River RCMP and B.C. Ferries staff are assisting in the search.

Mike Andree of Port Hardy says Roscovich's four-year-old is safe and being cared for.

But he's "worried sick" Roscovich may have gone off into the bush to do a wilderness retreat or spirit fast and gotten into trouble.

"If she's gone off and done it alone, things can go sideways. There's cougars around. One potentially saving factor is that she's spent a lot of time in the woods. She's one of the bravest women I know," he told CBC Thursday morning.

Roscovich's green Volvo station wagon was found Wednesday in the Quadra Island ferry parking lot, so people are searching there today.

Friends and family believe she may be on Quadra Island or Cortes Island.

They are very concerned about Roscovich and have been posting updates on her Facebook page.

RCMP say in a release Roscovich was last seen on the morning of Sept. 6 when she advised she was going to seek medical treatment. Police say she texted to tell friends and family that she would be car camping and possibly going to Nanaimo.

Wonder what she was seeking medical treatment for? This sure is a difference in the msm info that she may have been doing something like a wilderness retreat or something in the bush. I wonder if she was armed for this trip?

Twyla Roscovich will be remembered as a powerful storyteller, filmmaker and defender of B.C.’s wild coast as well as a loving person, say her family and friends.

Roscovich died last week at the age of 38. She was reported missing on Sept. 8 when she didn’t return home to Sointula from a medical appointment in Nanaimo. Her body was found on Sept. 15 in Campbell River after an extensive search by police and community members.
Her family did not comment on how she died, but said there was no foul play.

Roscovich is survived by father Glen Roscovich, mother Lynn Zaharuk, brother Adam Roscovich and daughter Ruby Ross.

A memorial service will be held in Campbell River in the coming weeks.

Twyla was having thyroid issues, and if you leave that for a while it can make you feel awful..IMO. I believe I read she was on her way down Vancouver Island to see a Naturopath for that issue...I dont think I have read anywhere what they think happened to her, just that they found her either in the water, or up on the beach...Pretty sad...They have a huge fund raiser for her little daughter on go fund me, it might still be there to donate...Ruby Roscovich
