“How the hell could my son just vanish? And the Ski-doo just gone.”
For Elaine Briere, living 2,000 km away in Edmonton, the disappearance of Lance Briere from Inuvik early last month has been an endless nightmare.
Lance, who is 32, was last seen in the NWT town’s liquor store on February 8. Elaine says she reported him missing from her Edmonton home on February 17 after failing to hear from him.
“Somebody in Inuvik knows something,” Elaine said. “I want to find my son. I want to bring him home with me, just keep him safe.”
