Video footage of a missing Vancouver mother with postpartum depression has rekindled hope that she still might be found.

Footage of Florence Leung, 32, was taken in a convenience store in downtown Vancouver on Oct. 25, the same day the mother vanished. The surveillance tape shows Leung buying a banana and Gatorade which was found inside her abandoned SUV one day later.

“She was seen behaving in a way that shows that she is anxious,” Kim Chen, Leung’s husband, told CTV Vancouver.

According to her husband the new mother and registered nurse has been exhibiting signs of anxiety since giving birth to their first child two months ago.

Leung’s family created a Facebook page, as well as the hashtag #findflorence on Twitter, to coordinate volunteers, post messages of encouragement, and gather any pertinent information in the search. The page has also turned into a catharsis for those struggling with postpartum depression, which the Canadian Mental Health Association says can affect 8-12 per cent of new mothers.

“Any new mom has the potential to be impacted by postpartum depression and the associated symptoms,” said Vancouver psychologist Dr. Joti Samra. “We need to speak openly about this topic and we need to acknowledge that we can both have experiences in our life that bring tremendous joy, but at the same time put an extreme stresser on us.”

In the days following her disappearance, a search party consisting of hundreds of volunteers and police traced Leung’s steps through the city. Leung’s family members are asking local businesses to scour surveillance tapes for signs of the missing woman.

Leung was last seen wearing a black puffy jacket, black slim pants and white running shoes driving away from her New Westminster home on Oct. 25. The following day the search party discovered her white 2016 Audi Q5 in Stanley Park.

Leung is described as 5’6” tall with a slim build. She has long black hair and black eyes.

"Florence is such a wonderful wife and a wonderful mom,” said Chen. “I told her everything is going to get better, and this is just the toughest part. I still want to see you again Florence.”
