Forty-five-year-old Alyssa May Olsson was living in Nanaimo, British Columbia, when she seemingly disappeared from her life in June 2025. More than a year later, there has been no publicly confirmed sighting of her, no known communication from her, and one particularly concerning detail remains: investigators say there has been no banking activity on her accounts since she disappeared.
Alyssa was last seen somewhere in Nanaimo on June 14, 2025. Exactly where she was that day has never been publicly disclosed. Police have not said who last saw her, what time that sighting occurred, what she was doing at the time, or where she may have been heading. What authorities have confirmed is that there has been no known communication with Alyssa and no confirmed sighting of her since June 14.
Nine days passed before Alyssa was officially reported missing on June 23. Authorities have not publicly explained why she was not reported missing sooner. There are many ordinary reasons why an adult might go several days without contact before loved ones become concerned enough to involve police, so the delay should not automatically be considered suspicious. Still, those nine days create an important gap in the publicly known timeline.
What happened between June 14 and June 23? When did the people in Alyssa’s life first realize that something was wrong? Those questions remain unanswered publicly.
Four days after Alyssa was reported missing, Nanaimo RCMP turned to the public for assistance. On June 27, police released her photograph and physical description, confirming that she had last been seen in Nanaimo on June 14 and asking anyone who had seen her or knew something that might help locate her to come forward.
Alyssa was born in 1980 and was 45 years old when she disappeared. She is approximately five feet five inches tall and weighed about 141 pounds, with a slender build and fair complexion. She has green eyes and brown hair, which Nanaimo RCMP described as shoulder length.
When Alyssa was last seen, she was reportedly wearing a ripped jean jacket over a black hoodie, along with black pants and black shoes.
Canada’s Missing also lists two aliases associated with Alyssa: Alyssa May Chappell and Ali Hobbs. Those names could be important when circulating her case because someone who knew her under another name might not immediately recognize a missing-person appeal for Alyssa Olsson. However, there is no publicly available information suggesting that either alias has any particular significance to her disappearance.
As investigators looked into Alyssa’s movements after June 14, they uncovered another concerning detail. According to Canada’s Missing, there has been no banking activity on her accounts since her disappearance.
That information is significant, but it cannot tell investigators exactly what happened. A lack of banking activity does not establish whether Alyssa disappeared voluntarily, suffered an accident, encountered someone else, or became the victim of a crime. It is simply one more piece of a puzzle that currently has far more missing pieces than answers.
Authorities have not publicly disclosed whether Alyssa’s cellphone provided investigators with any clues. There has also been no public information about activity on her social media accounts or other digital records after she was last seen.
No vehicle has been publicly associated with Alyssa’s disappearance, and authorities have not announced that she was believed to be travelling toward a particular destination. There are no publicly confirmed reports showing that she boarded a ferry, took a bus, or otherwise left Nanaimo after June 14.
There have also been no publicly announced suspects or persons of interest, and Nanaimo RCMP has not stated that foul play has been established in Alyssa’s disappearance.
Information concerning searches for Alyssa is similarly limited. There does not appear to be publicly available documentation of a major Search and Rescue operation, organized ground search, shoreline search, or large volunteer effort connected with her disappearance. That does not necessarily mean searches haven’t taken place. Police may have investigated specific locations or followed leads without publicly disclosing those details.
Perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of Alyssa’s case is just how little is publicly known about her final confirmed day.
We do not know exactly where in Nanaimo she was last seen. We do not know who last saw her. We do not know what she was doing immediately beforehand or where she intended to go afterward. Police have not publicly revealed whether that final sighting came from someone who knew Alyssa, an independent witness, surveillance footage, or some other source.
The publicly known trail simply ends on June 14, 2025. Nine days later, Alyssa was reported missing. Four days after that, police asked the public for help finding her.
And then, at least publicly, the trail goes quiet.
As of today, Canada’s Missing continues to classify Alyssa May Olsson as missing. More than fourteen months have passed since anyone is publicly known to have seen or communicated with her.
There are no verified public answers explaining why Alyssa vanished, and the unanswered portions of her timeline should not be filled with theories unsupported by evidence. There is currently no publicly released evidence establishing that Alyssa intentionally disappeared, that she met with an accident, or that another person was responsible for what happened to her.
What is known is troubling enough.
A 45-year-old woman was last seen somewhere in Nanaimo on June 14, 2025. No communication or confirmed sighting has been reported since that day. Investigators found no subsequent banking activity on her accounts. Nine days after she was last seen, she was reported missing, and more than a year later, she remains missing.
Somewhere within the largely unknown circumstances surrounding Alyssa’s final known day may be the information that explains what happened to her.
Until that information is found, Alyssa May Olsson remains one of Nanaimo’s missing.
