RCMP investigating 'suspicious' disappearance of Sask. woman

The RCMP's Major Crime Unit North is helping investigate the disappearance of 31-year-old Ashley Morin.

Morin was last seenmid-July in NorthBattleford. Her family hasn't heard from her since July 10, which isnotable because she maintains regular contact with them, RCMP said.

The disappearance has been declared suspicious because it's "a marked departure from her own behaviour," said RCMPspokespersonCpl.Rob King onTuesday.

When asked if foul play was suspected, King said "everything is suspected until it's ruled out."

Police say Morin has long black hair and brown eyes. She is about5'2" tall and weighs about110 pounds.

She was last seen wearing grey sweat pants, a black shirt with white writing, a black hat and sunglasses.

Officers are investigating leads that indicated she might have been travelling to Lloydminster or Edmonton.
