Jessica Janis Webber, a 16-year-old girl from Hope, B.C., was last seen on July 8 at 5 a.m. at her residence. She is described as five foot four, 96 lbs, with brown, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes.

It is believed she has travelled to Alberta by hitching rides. Police have confirmed Webber attended a friend’s residence in Wetaskiwin on July 9. She has family and friends in Wetaskiwin, Hay River, Lethbridge and Red Deer.

On July 17, police confirmed Webber contacted a friend in Campbell River, B.C. and advised the friend she was in Alberta. Webber family is very worried about her as they have not heard from her since she went missing.

Webber lives a high-risk lifestyle and has gone missing on several occasions previous. The primary concern now is that when Jessica has gone missing in the past she usually maintains contact and checks in with her regular friends and family, however she hasn’t this time.
