Maple Ridge woman missing for six months

Rebecca Harbowy walked away from Ridge Meadows Hospital in the early morning

Thursday, May 23 marked six months since Maple Ridge woman Rebecca Harbowy went missing, and Ridge Meadows RCMP have released a video reminding the public they are still looking for her.

On Nov. 23, 2023, the 36-year-old unexpectedly left Ridge Meadows Hospital in the early morning hours, at approximately 1:20 a.m.

Investigators received a video from an area resident, surveillance footage showing the missing woman walking down River Road, eastbound, near the Port Haney West Coast Express station, at 1:46 a.m.

Then another tipster said he saw a woman matching Rebecca’s description walking on the Haney Bypass at approximately 2 a.m. He saw writing on her clothing that matched the description.

But there has been no information since then, said her mother Debbie Harbowy. She said there is no news, there have been no tips, and the money in her daughter’s bank account has not been touched.

“It’s a mystery – how does somebody just disappear,” asked the grieving mother.

Harbowy is described as a Caucasian female, 5’6” tall, 170 pounds, with brown/red hair. She was last seen wearing a grey Nike hoodie with black logo lettering on the chest, black Puma sweatpants with lettering on the bottom left pant leg, and black and white Nike running shoes.

Harbowy has multiple tattoos on her hands, neck, torso and back. Her mother described her hand and finger tattoos as henna style designs, and the word Romeo, for her cat.
