Lethbridge police search for missing kayaker [Video]

Lethbridge police are searching for a 40-year-old woman they believe is kayaking down the South Saskatchewan River.

Aldea Margret Tillmans, 40, has not been seen or in contact with family since Aug. 9.

Police says efforts to locate her have been unsuccessful, and they’re growing concerned for her well-being.

Tillmans is known to camp and kayak alone, and police believe she may be somewhere between the Grand Forks Campground and Medicine Hat.

She is described as 5’7″ (170 centimetres) and 140 to 160 pounds (64 to 73 kilograms) with brown eyes and long brown hair.

She has a tattoo of a paw on her left leg and a heart with the words “sisters” on her right arm above the elbow.

Police found Tillmans’ BMW X5 in the Taber area near a boat launch.

Police are asking all landowners between the Grand Forks Campground and Medicine Hat to check their properties. …
