The RCMP suspects foul play in the vanishing of a 51-year-old mother of three, who was last seen in February. Jennifer Provencal’s disappearance raised concerns as it took nearly three months before her absence was noticed by her sister residing in another province.
Provencal was last sighted on February 5 near her rural property in Forest Grove, a small community outside 100 Mile House, around 300 kilometers northeast of Vancouver. Her husband, Thomas Boulding, mentioned they had a disagreement, and upon his return home, she was nowhere to be found.
Living off-grid without cellphones, the couple’s communication was limited to a landline. Consequently, Provencal’s sister, Johanne Provencal, only realized she was missing weeks later. It was not until April that she learned of her sister’s absence, prompting her to contact the police.
While Thomas Boulding believed that his wife left voluntarily, Johanne Provencal expressed disbelief in Jennifer’s sudden disappearance, emphasizing that it was uncharacteristic of her to vanish without informing loved ones. The RCMP major crimes unit is actively investigating the case, suspecting foul play.
The authorities have conducted searches on Provencal’s property with the aid of dogs. Boulding has cooperated with the investigation by providing all relevant information, personal items, and computer data to help the RCMP gather leads. Anyone with information regarding the case is urged to come forward.
Johanne Provencal remains hopeful for answers, expressing her desire to uncover the truth behind her sister’s disappearance and honor her memory.
