Members of the community have organized a ground search for Holly Ellsworth-Clark, a Calgary woman believed to be missing in Hamilton.

The Holly Clark Search Crew is organizing a ground search for Wednesday (Jan. 22) afternoon. Members of the public who are interested in helping, the search will be based out of Eucharist Church at 130 Victoria Ave. N.

The search begins at 4 p.m. and the public is asked to arrive 15 minutes earlier to register and be briefed on rules and search zones.

Holly, a 27-year-old musician who has lived in Hamilton since October, was last seen on Jan. 11 at 4 p.m. in the Sanford Ave. and Cannon St. area, according to police. Police say she was in distress at the time.

There have been reported sightings of Holly at the Budget Inn at King St. E. and Sanford but local reports suggest police have not been able to obtain warrants to do a thorough search of the property.

Holly’s parents have come to Hamilton to join in the search and they revealed to local media that they discovered a voicemail from Holly sent the day before she was last seen.

In the message, Holly reportedly claims she’s being pursued by two men and she pleads with her mother to send her a plane ticket home.

Holly is 6’-1” and 200 lbs with an athletic build and was last seen in a black long-sleeve shirt, black pants, black boots possibly with a black backpack.

Anyone with information about Holly’s whereabouts, contact the Hamilton Police Service at 905-546-4925.
