The search for the 13-year-old girl who disappeared in Edmonton last Friday continued on Wednesday.
She was reported missing after she did not return home from school Friday afternoon.
She'd taken the bus to Killarney School in the morning, but family later learned she never went to class.
She is described as 5'10" with a slim build and weighs approximately 100 pounds, police said in a Sunday release.
She was last seen wearing a blue and white hoodie, ripped blue jeans, black Converses and a backpack.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact EPS at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
