St. John’s, N.L. — Glenda Power, aunt of Cortney Lake who police believe was murdered after her disappearance June 7, tweeted another heartfelt plea for someone with information to come forward after an intensive search by police and ground search volunteers Friday and Saturday in the area of the Smallwood Farm property near Bellevue Beach.
She tweeted photos of the search and said: “This. Our family waits, stomachs in knots, hearts hurting. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the searchers who are on the ground looking …
“To those who have withheld info, your callous disregard for our suffering is unfathomable. I pray you relent.”
Power, along with another aunt, Donna Walsh, has been instrumental in organizing citizen searches in various areas since the 24-year-old Lake’s disappearance. Lake had a six-year-old son.
Philip Smith, Lake’s former boyfriend is a suspect in the case, but was not charged.
Lake was last seen in Mount Pearl getting into Smith’s truck.
Smith committed suicide in a wooded area near Bellevue Beach. His body was discovered Nov. 1.
