The RNC has released surveillance images of 24-year-old Cortney Lake in what they deem to be her suspicious disappearance nearly one week ago.
The young woman has not been seen or heard from since last Wednesday.
When last seen in the St. John’s area she was wearing a grey hooded parka, pink hoodie and pink and white plaid shirt with black pants and eye glasses. Video stills from the Esso on Elizabeth Avenue show the young woman just hours before she went missing.
RNC say her disappearance is suspicious and they have serious concerns for her well-being.
In an unusual move, police are also sharing an image of Cortney for use on social media with the hashtag #HelpFindCortney.

Worried loved ones have also formed a Facebook page to help gather information that might lead to her whereabouts, while a GoFundMe page has been created to come up with a cash reward to help locate her.
