Winnipeg, MB – Winnipeg Police are asking for the public’s help today as the search continues for 49-year-old Millicent Powell, who has been missing for nearly five months after she was last seen in the community of Elma, Manitoba.
According to the Winnipeg Police Service, Powell was last seen on July 18, 2025 in the Elma area, located in the Rural Municipality of Whitemouth, roughly 75 minutes east of Winnipeg. Police say family and investigators have been unable to locate her despite ongoing efforts, prompting a renewed public appeal for information.
Powell is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a medium build, black and grey hair, and brown eyes. Authorities did not release information about the clothing she may have been wearing at the time she disappeared, and the circumstances surrounding her last known whereabouts remain unclear.
The Winnipeg Police Service says it remains concerned for Powell’s well-being and is urging anyone who may have seen her, spoken to her, or has knowledge of her recent activities to come forward immediately. Even small details, investigators noted, may help narrow search areas or generate new leads.
Residents in Elma, the surrounding Whitemouth region, and across southeastern Manitoba are encouraged to check home security footage, trail cameras, or road-facing video systems dating back to mid-July. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Winnipeg Police Service Missing Persons Unit at 204-986-6250.
