Quebec provincial police have released a disturbing video in hopes of finding a missing aide to a provincial cabinet minister. Investigators believe the woman may have been kidnapped from her home.
The video shows a man dressed in black making transactions at a bank. Financial records show that the transactions were made with the bank cards of the missing woman, Nancy Michaud, and her husband.
There is no sign of the woman, despite over 50 police officers assigned to the case.
Const. Claude Ross told The Canadian Press that police released the footage in hopes that someone will spot Michaud. The 37-year-old is an employee of Natural Resources Minister Claude Bechard.
The woman was reported missing Friday morning when her husband came home late from work around 2 a.m. and couldn't find her.
The couple have two children, aged six and 18 months, and they were sleeping without any adults in their home.
Ross said there were signs of a violent struggle inside Michaud's home in Riviere-Ouelle, a town northeast of Quebec City.
Police believe Michaud was dragged into a car sometime overnight and then taken to the bank where the withdrawals were made.
Ross said police fear for the woman's life and that they have no evidence her disappearance is tied to her political work.
Anyone with information regarding the case is urged to call the police at 1-800-659-4264.
