ABBOTSFORD — Police in Abbotsford say a 17-year-old girl has gone missing.

According to a statement from Constable Jody Thomas, media relations spokesperson for the AbbyPD, Ellora was last seen on foot in the 5000 block of Riverside Street in Abbotsford between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. today (Friday, Oct. 18). Police say Ellora, whose last name was not provided, has no affiliation or connections to Abbotsford and primarily frequents the Burnaby area.

Ellora may have left the Riverside Street area as a passenger in a larger black SUV, or communicated with someone inside this vehicle, Cst. Thomas said. Police believe the black SUV was stopped on Riverside Street with its 4-way flashers on for about 5 minutes before departing the area.

Ellora is described as Caucasian, 5′ tall, with a slim build and has curly red hair that is usually tied back in a ponytail. Ellora was last seen wearing jeans, a black jacket with a fur-lined hood and a small, possibly a light blue, over-the-shoulder bag.

The police are concerned for Ellora’s well-being and attempts to locate her have been unsuccessful. Anyone with information, or who might have dashcam footage from the 5000 block of Riverside Street this morning between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m., is asked to call the AbbyPD at 604-859-5225 and reference 2024-43595.
