SINDY RUPERTHOUSE
18X18x1.5 INCHES | 1/4" MODERN BIRCH frame

Sindy Ruperthouse, Algonquin, was last seen April 23, 2014 at the hospital in Val D’or, Quebec. She had been beaten up and had multiple broken ribs. The 44-year-old from Pikogan has not been seen since. In her last conversation with family, Ruperthouse asked for money. It was a large amount, according to her mother, Émilie Ruperthouse Wylde. who also said her daughter had been beaten by her boyfriend. When Wylde refused to give her the money, Ruperthouse said she would call again later. She never did. Her parents have accused the Sûreté du Québec of failing to take her disappearance seriously. Police reopened Ruperthouse's case following an investigative report by Radio-Canada. They say they’re treating her case as a murder investigation.
