Demi Rempel

A Kelowna teen who went missing on Sunday is believed to be travelling with a young man, headed towards Regina.

On November 19, at 6:30 p.m., the Kelowna RCMP received a report of a missing youth. Demi Rempel had apparently left her home in the 1400 block of Terai Road at around 9 p.m. the previous evening, leaving a note indicating that she did not want to return.

Rempel has been hanging out with a 20-year-old man from Regina who had recently moved to Kelowna. The man had expressed interest in hitchhiking back to Regina and disappeared around the same time as Rempel.

Additional information that police have obtained through the course of their investigation also suggests that both Rempel and the 20-year-old man are headed East on the TransCanada Highway.
