A woman who has “drifted away” from her family is now considered missing.

Nanaimo RCMP issued a press release this week asking for the public’s help to locate 48-year-old Charmaine Mitchell, who has not been seen nor heard from by her family since July 2021.

According to the release, she “has had her struggles over the years.” Family members recently contacted the Nanaimo RCMP to assist them in locating her.

She occasionally goes by the name El Chapo. She has no phone, does not drive a motor vehicle, lives a transient life-style and she is also known to frequent downtown Nanaimo.

She is 5-foot-10 and thin with blonde hair. She frequently wears bandanas and has a rose and tribal tattoo on her left arm, and a rose tattoo on her right hand. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345 and quote file No. 2022-35301.
