Police are appealing to the public for assistance as concern continues to grow for a missing 26-year-old woman last seen in Oshawa.
Durham Regional Police say Carlie, 26, was last seen on Thursday. Investigators have not yet released the exact time or specific location within Oshawa where she was last spotted. Authorities have stated they are concerned for her safety and are urging anyone with information to come forward as efforts to locate her continue.
Carlie is described as a white woman, approximately five-foot-seven in height, with a heavy build. She has brown hair and hazel eyes. At this time, police have not provided details about what she was wearing when she was last seen, nor have they indicated whether she was carrying a phone, bag, or other personal belongings.
It remains unclear whether Carlie is travelling on foot, by vehicle, or by public transit. Investigators also do not know if she is alone or possibly in the company of someone else. Due to the limited information available, police are asking residents across Oshawa and the wider Durham Region to remain alert and report any potential sightings immediately.
Missing person investigations are treated with urgency, particularly when there are concerns for an individual’s well-being. Police often rely heavily on tips from the public, surveillance footage and witness reports during the critical early stages of a case. Even small details — such as noticing someone matching Carlie’s description near a neighbourhood park, transit stop, shopping plaza or residential street — can significantly assist investigators.
Durham Regional Police have not indicated whether there are suspicious circumstances surrounding Carlie’s disappearance. However, officers emphasize that time can be a crucial factor in missing person cases. Public awareness and community cooperation often play a vital role in ensuring a safe and swift resolution.
Residents in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering and other nearby Durham Region communities are encouraged to review any available doorbell camera footage, dash cam recordings or business surveillance from Thursday onward. Police are particularly interested in any images or video that may show Carlie or someone matching her description.
Friends, family members, coworkers and acquaintances who may have had recent contact with Carlie are also urged to come forward with information. Even conversations, text messages or social media interactions could help establish a timeline and provide investigators with valuable leads.
Anyone with information regarding Carlie’s whereabouts is asked to contact Durham Regional Police at 905-579-1520. Authorities remind the public that information, no matter how minor it may seem, could prove critical to the investigation.
As the search continues, community vigilance remains essential. Police are working diligently to gather all available information and follow up on leads. Missing person investigations can evolve quickly, and updates may be provided as new details emerge.
Durham Regional Police continue to prioritize Carlie’s case and are hopeful that with the public’s assistance, she will be located safely.
