''The 21-year-old placed her last call on a payphone at Selkirk Avenue and King Street on July 25, 2008''
''Brenda Osborne walks down Selkirk Avenue in Winnipeg's North End and lovingly touches the worn, hand-made signs bearing the picture of her daughter Claudette Osborne-Tyo who went missing 12 years ago.
"Twelve years, no answer, no tips, no links, nothing. We just wait every day," she said.
On Saturday night, Osborne held a vigil at the spot where her daughter was last seen — the corner of Selkirk Avenue and King Street and opened the ceremony with drumming, an honour song and smudging.
They've done this annually for the last 10 years.''
''Claudette was last seen at Winnipeg's Lincoln Motor Hotel, now renamed as the Four Crowns Inn, on McPhillips Street.
After leaving the hotel on a mid-summer night, she made numerous calls on pay phones before placing her last call on one that used to be located at the Selkirk Street intersection, about a block away from Main Street.
No one has seen or heard from her since then.''
"We want to do this every year to put the word out there that she's not forgotten and we think about her every day," Osborne says.''
