Police in BC face questions, criticism around lack of Amber Alert after missing girl found dead
WARNING: Details may be disturbing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.
When a child disappears in Canada, the public is typically notified — often through an Amber Alert, which adds urgency and visibility to a situation where every second counts.
None of that was afforded to Noelle O’Soup.
Of the many lingering and unanswered questions O’Soup’s extended family is asking is: why was no AMBER Alert issued for their loved one, who was a child when she went missing?
“They said it was inappropriate and it didn’t meet the criteria of an AMBER Alert, because Noelle did not want to be found,” Olivia Louie, O’Soup’s cousin, said of her family’s discussions with police agencies.
“At the time she went missing she was 13 years old, and she was likely deceased by the time she was 14. She wanted to be found.”
