"When I reported my sister missing," said Lucy Glaim, of Smithers, who was once the youth justice worker for the Wet'sewet'en Unlocking Aboriginal Justice program, "[the RCMP officer] just said something like, 'She's just found a party or something, so give her a couple of days.'"

Those couple of days turned into an eternity: Glaim's sister, Delphine Nikal, disappeared on the morning of June 14, 1990, while hitchhiking from Smithers to a friend's house in nearby Telkwa. She was never seen again. Glaim had reported her missing the following morning. Delphine was 16.

Fifteen-year-old Delphine was last seen June 13, 1990 after telephoning her family from Smithers to say she was hitchhiking home to Telkwa, a distance of about 30 km.

She was never heard from again.

Lucy Glaim told The Sun in 1995 that she believed her sister was abducted.

It has always rattled my mind why they didnt do searches for Delphine. The woods from Smithers to Telkwa should have been scoured inch to inch. I dont recall there being much of a search or coverage on a missing 16 year old girl. Or even a story of a search. That is hard to accept.
