AS Jodi Henrickson's family prepares to spend another Christmas without her, a new poster campaign is aiming to jog the public's memory - or their consciences - over the holiday season.
CrimeStoppers and the RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigations Team are aiming to blanket the Sea-to-Sky Corridor and local ferry routes with a new poster about the teen - who went missing from Bowen Island more than two years ago.
Rob-James Henrickson, Jodi's brother, is hoping that someone heading home to visit their own family may see the poster and decide to come forward, or report a detail they previously thought unimportant, that could lead police to solve his sister's disappearance.
Henrickson said he's hoping "it'll be on (the public's) minds more as they focus on their own families.
"Somebody knows something," he said. "We're just waiting for somebody to come forward with that."
Henrickson, then 17, disappeared on June 20, 2009 after attending a house party on Bowen Island.
Henrickson was last reported being seen on Bowen, with her exboyfriend Gavin Arnott, between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. that morning.
Neither Henrickson nor any signs of her have shown up since then, despite several searches by both police and volunteers.
Henrickson, who lived with her family in Squamish, had told her parents she was going camping at Cultus Lake, but went to the island to attend the party instead. She was reported missing four days later when she didn't come home.
Police have repeatedly said they think Henrickson met with foul play and never left the island.
Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokeswoman for the homicide team working on the case, said investigators still believe that. Pound said there's no particular reason for putting the poster out now, except the hope that it will stimulate someone's memory.
"There's no such thing as information that's too small," she said.
Pound said police still hope to be able to tell Henrickson's family what happened to her.
Rob-James Henrickson said information from the public is probably the only way his sister's disappearance will be solved.
"Even if they think it's insignificant. It might be the last piece of information we need to solve this. Somebody can't just go missing with nothing at all. They can't just disappear like that," he said.
Henrickson said he's hoping someone with information will consider what his family goes through over the holidays, not knowing Jodi's fate.
"Imagine dealing with what we have to deal with," he said.
