  1996.07 BARTLETT, Amanda Sophia (17)

MISSING - Amanda Sophia Bartlett, 17, was seen for the last time in July 1996 around Winnipeg's Selkirk Avenue at Salter Street. She was living in a group home and had run away, the group home told the family they had no obligation to follow her. Winnipeg Police only started work on the missing persons case in February 2008. It took 12 years and the help of Amnesty International to finally have her classified as a missing person. In November 2012, the case was assigned to Project Devote, a task force dedicated to missing and murdered persons cases in Manitoba.
