Marie Stuart of Abbotsford has been missing since Dec. 27.

It has been over two weeks since Marie Stuart of Abbotsford was reported missing, and there still have been no signs of her, police say.

Anyone with information is still being urged to come forward.

A photo has been released of Stuart at the time of her disappearance, and was obtained by police from video surveillance in the area where she was last seen.

Stuart, 38, had been playing the smartphone game Pokemon Go with her husband, Leslie Scott Schellenberg, on Tuesday, Dec. 27, when they missed their regular bus to head back home.

They took a different bus, which arrived in front of Sevenoaks Shopping Centre – not far from their home – but went in separate directions when they got off the bus.

She did not have a cellphone on her.

Schellenberg was unable to find Stuart, who is five months’ pregnant, and, when she didn’t return to their residence, he called police.

Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said investigators corroborated Schellenberg’s story, including reviewing security video that showed him and his wife going in separate directions after leaving the bus.

He said police have ruled out that Schellenberg had any involvement in his wife’s disappearance.

Stuart is 5’ 2” with black hair and glasses.

Anyone with information is asked to contact that Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call 911 for an immediate sighting of Stuart.
