A Manitoba First Nation has filed a lawsuit against the province and a logging company, alleging the province failed to consult the community before extending a timber harvesting licence in traditional territory.
RCMP searched the area again last year to no avail, she said.
Chartrand said locals have told her that her daughter lies somewhere in that area. She believes there are people who know something that might help find Bone but aren t speaking up. A lot of people don t want to talk. They don t want to say anything. I keep asking why, Chartrand said. The only thing that goes through my mind what are they hiding? Why are they hiding?
Investigation ongoing: RCMP
RCMP say the investigation into Bone s disappearance is continuing. As this is an ongoing investigation, we cannot provide too many specifics as to what we have done, what leads we have followed, or who we have spoken to so that we can protect the integrity of the investigation, spokesperson Tara Seel told CBC in an email.
