A Chilliwack mother whose daughter went missing in 2021 says the B.C. government and RCMP’s E Division has told her it is working on developing a public assistance alert system for adults.

Alina Durham’s daughter, Shaelene Keeler Bell, went missing in 2021. Her body was found in the Fraser River more than four months later.

Durham said she reached out to Garry Begg, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, about developing a missing adult alert system and he asked her to send his office a proposal.

“My proposal was that we take the AMBER Alert that’s already in place and we change a wording in it so that it says victim,” Durham said.

She said she received a response on May 12 asking her to reach out to B.C.’s RCMP missing person’s division and now something is in the works.

“Basically at the end of the day I’d like to see the Canada Alert Ready system used,” Durham added.
