What the devil does high risk actually mean? Why does everything have to be in some code?
Under B.C.'s provincial policing standards, a "high-risk missing person" is someone whose health or well-being may be in danger due to physical or mental illness, addictions, disability or age. The category also applies to someone who is a member of a vulnerable group; someone who is believed to be a victim of a crime; or someone who has gone missing in an area where weather or other physical conditions may pose a danger.

...someone who is believed to be a victim of a crime...
Unless that crime is being pepper-sprayed by a "vulnerable" person.

Based on what little information has been given, can we presume the deceased is Riley Norman Jones?
Posted 18 November 2022 - 08:07 PM
No surprise the details would be thin if it's a suicide.

Film preview about missing Victoria woman, Emma Fillipoff, set to debut 10 years later
The film trailer will be released on the 10th anniversary of Fillipoff’s disappearance from downtown
Nov. 25, 2022
A nine-minute preview of a film detailing the events around Emma Fillipoff’s 2012 disappearance is set to be released.
The search for Fillipoff heads into 10 years on Nov. 28, the same day the film trailer and an age progression photo is set to be released.
The film, Barefoot in the Night: The Search for Emma Fillipoff and the accompanying podcast, are updates to a well-known and highly publicized story.
Production of the film was delayed by COVID-19 restrictions, but in releasing the trailer, director and producer Kimberly Bordage hopes to renew interest and remind the public of the facts of the case.
“We actually don’t have a set release date,” Bordage said. “We are continuing with production as we search for Emma – the two are happening at the same time. This preview of the upcoming docuseries is only a snippet of a much larger story.”
There have been few credible leads since 2018, when a man named William, who did not provide a last name, came forward and said he’d seen Fillipoff on the morning of Nov. 29, 2012. He said she was acting scared and paranoid and that she was wet and carrying her shoes in her hand.
He said he gave her a ride from Esquimalt Road to an intersection at Craigflower Road and Admirals Road, closer to Colwood, where she said she would stay with a friend.
This tip led to a cadaver dog search, which turned up empty and left the case cold. The goal of creating this film is to change that.
The film will offer a behind-the-scenes look into the grassroots effort to find Fillipoff, led by her mother and assisted by friends and swaths of the public.
While the film will provide in-depth interviews with people who were involved with the initial investigation, from friends to the Victoria Police, Bordage said it is really a story about a mother’s journey to find her daughter, and the community of people that rallied around her.
“It is the hope that this will reach people who have not been aware of Emma’s case,” Fillipoff said. “I think it’ll be far-reaching. It is my hope that it’ll bring renewed interest and more awareness to Emma’s disappearance.”
Fillipoff would be 36 and police are set to release an age-progression image, but her mother is not confident it will help.
In the new podcast, Fillipoff said her daughter can be a “chameleon” who can look different depending on her hair or mood.
“It is a scary thing to see a rendering of Emma at an older age but I think it will also garner a great deal of attention,” Fillipoff said.

Victoria, BC – Investigators have released an age-progression drawing of Emma Fillipoff to mark Monday, November 28th, 2022 as the 10th anniversary of Emma’s disappearance, and to assist with the continued efforts of investigators and Emma’s family to bring her home.

Age progression drawing of what Emma may look like today
On the evening of November 28, 2012, VicPD was contacted about a woman acting oddly in front of the Empress Hotel. Officers located Emma Fillipoff and spoke with her at length. After ensuring her well-being, Emma continued on her way. Emma was reported missing a few hours later. She has not been heard from or seen since.
There has been an extensive investigation into Emma’s disappearance ever since, but to date investigators have been unsuccessful in determining what may have happened to her.
About the age-progression drawing
VicPD detectives made a request through the RCMP for the assistance of an officer who is a trained forensic artist. Age-progression drawings are difficult because there are many unknown factors – did the person go from being an active individual to a “couch potato”, or are they now an ultra- marathon runner? For Emma specifically, we didn’t know if she may be unhoused, or if she is living a happy and healthy lifestyle in another location. With such a range of variables, the artist’s goal is to capture the essence of the person they are depicting, but also aging them appropriately. The artist spoke with Emma’s mother, and we supplied him with a number of different photos for reference. Emma had a youthful appearance and she has a very youthful air about her. Her energy comes through in the photos she took, which the artist was able to replicate in his image to better the odds that viewers may recognize that person and contact the police.
Our investigation continues
Emma’s disappearance continues to be actively investigated. Hundreds of tips have been received from across the country and from across the globe, but none have proven to be confirmed sightings of Emma. We are asking for your help to help Emma’s family bring Emma home.
If you see Emma Fillipoff, or have any information about where she may be, please contact the VicPD non-emergency line at 250-995-7654, or your local police department. Information can also be anonymously provided through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
