The last known sighting of her was on June 28, 1987, when Edmonton Police Department brought her in for public intoxication. At the time, Delores states she was working as a nurse's aid in Edmonton.
After reported as missing in Regina, SK, her case was transferred to Edmonton, Alberta.
She was known to have been in Vancouver, Seattle, and California.
