Tamara CHIPMAN Investigation - Two Year Anniversary Update
Tamara Chipman
By her Mom Cory

Hello and thank you too everyone who has helped with Tamara's case. My name is Cory and this is my daughter Tamara. This September will be the second year that her dad and myself have been missing our girl, it has without a doubt been the worst two years of our lives. Not a day or even an hour goes by that I don't think about her. Wish that I could talk to her or even just hear her voice again. I see her face everyday but sadly only in my mind, I talk to her only from my heart now, but I am sure that God tells her we are loving her always and he has her safely with him. Tamara was born on October 11. Her Grandpa Chipman drove Tom and I too the hospital that day. I'm not sure who was more excited about her arrival? From the minute she arrived she was loved by her entire family both my side and Toms. But I must say that Toms dad grandpa John and grandma Agnes were her favorites. Grandpa thought she was just it. He once entered her in a cute baby contest and was soo mad that she had not won that he said they had rigged the contest we all laughed cause we knew he was a little one sided with her. Tamara has a very big family and I cant even begin to tell you how great they all are and how we all miss her soo much. Tamara also has a son named Jaden he is the love of my life and we are so happy we have a part of Tamara still here Again I would like to thank everyone for there help and support I could not have survived this without so much help, especially to cousin Florence who started our walk and to Aunty Lorna and Aunty Gladys and Gramma Chipman and Brigetta and all there families all of the people who helped with the searches oh my goodness there just isn't enough paper or time to write all the names but if you read this and you were there in body or spirit I thank you soo much It really does mean the world to me. Tom and Christine Jaden and myself will keep you all in our prayers . here are a couple of my favorite pics of Tamara.

these are a few moments in time, please everybody be safe and look out for each other, thanks again to all

Tamara CHIPMAN Investigation - Two Year Anniversary Update

The investigation into the disappearance of Tamara Chipman has remained an ongoing and active investigation being handled by the Terrace Detachment with the assistance of Prince Rupert Detachment and the Terrace Regional GIS section.

In the past year, investigators have made significant progress in eliminating a number of tips as well as concentrating on some more compelling leads. On September 22, 2007, a trained Ground Search & Rescue Team assisted police in searching a wooded area east of Prince Rupert. The search did not uncover any meaningful evidence.

Information has been shared with the Highway 16 investigative review team who are currently examining files of women who have gone missing or murdered along the highway. While the investigation into Chipman’s disappearance continues to take positive steps, it is too early to know if this information will be of any assistance to the Highway 16 review team.

On September 21st, 2005, Tamara CHIPMAN was last seen hitchhiking on Highway 16, east of Prince Rupert, BC. The police are still asking for the public to contact either the Terrace or Prince Rupert Detachments with any information related to this investigation.

My name is Laura Galema, I am currently living in Prince Albert Saskatchewan. I grew up in the Terrace and Kitimat Area and as a result went to school with Tamara, The last time I was in Terrace Tamara and Jaden Stayed with me at a friends, It took me by surprise when I heard that Tamara was missing, I am sorry that I do not have any information on her where abouts but if possible can you send my condolences to her family? I know she would not just disappear out of the blue like that as her son means the world to her.

January 25, 2006 - From Aunty Gladys

Thank you so much for your support in searching for Tamara. Her dad, Tom and his wife were here in Vancouver following a tip from Terrace R.C.M.P. around January 16,2006. We searched day and night down here in the lower mainland and posted many pictures of her everywhere. We gave local and long distance phone numbers and have received no responses yet.

Tom and Christine have headed back home to Terrace, as of yesterday January 24, I'm sure with broken hearts. My heart is broken too because we all had our hopes up that she would be here.

For now we have to keep praying that she is safe and hope that she will come home soon. We love that little girl and miss her dearly.

I am located in Vancouver and have many networks down here working in hopes to find her. I will not stop looking for her until she is found.

Thank you for your invaluable time.

All my relations
