KELOWNA – The mother of a missing 17-year-old girl says this is the first time her daughter has been out of contact for such a long period of time.

Elizabeth Casselman was last seen by her mother about 6 p.m July 2 when the two parted company in downtown Kelowna. Casselman's mom says there is some risk to her daughter because she suffers from psychological problems.

Mounties checked places Casselman is known to frequent but have come up empty. Casselman's mother and RCMP want to know the girl is safe.

Casselman is Caucasian, 5'8" and 120 lbs. She has long blond hair, green eyes and tattoos of nautical stars on her left leg.

Anyone with information can contact Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
