The father of a woman missing in Grenada is calling on Canadian officials to do more.
Linnea Veinotte has been missing since she went for a run on the island on Sunday. He father, Reverend Doug Moore, is a pastor at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Fredericton.
He says as time passes, his concern heightens.
“Gets a little more difficult as the time goes by because we don't hear anything,” said Moore.
Veinotte lives in Grenada, but calls Nova Scotia home. Her husband, Matt Veinotte, believes both his wife and their dog were struck by a vehicle.
“When we came back to the scene, we saw that there was a lot of glass on the road, and my son saw that her headband and her glasses were in the bush,” said Veinotte’s neighbour Jane Noel. “That's when we called the police and realized something wasn't right.”
Moore is thanking police, but says Veinotte’s husband is looking for more help and encouragement from Canada.
"I would like to ask anyone who might have any information to please come forward,” said Matt Veinotte in a social media post. “I just want my wife to come home, my boys need their mother."
The family says a representative from the Canadian High Commission is flying to Grenada to offer assistance. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion says he is aware of the situation.
“For now, I'd prefer to not comment, except that we will do our best in the circumstances but to comment too much would not be of help,” said Dion.
The RCMP say they have not been contacted by Grenadian police. They say if that happens, they are ready to assist, but at this point Grenadian police are in charge of the investigation.
For the first time in 25 years, Grenada police say they have cancelled vacations and called back retired officers to work on the case.
Her parents had just returned from Grenada, but her mother quickly returned.
“She got the first plane that she could get to go because she wanted to be there,” said Moore.
Matt Veinotte is still offering $50,000 CAD as a reward for information on his wife’s disappearance.
The family is clinging to their faith as they desperately hope for their daughter's safe return.
