Last-contact date: January 30th, 2021 at about 8:30pm
The area where the MP was last seen: Chilliwack, British Columbia near the 9300 block of Edward Street

VITAL DETAILS

Ethnicity: White/Caucasian
Sex: Female
Age at time of disappearance: 23 years old

  • When the birthdate isn't known, I calculate a range using the age at the date of the missing person's disappearance.

Height/weight: 5-foot-2 and 95 pounds
BMI*: In this case, the missing person was underweight by BMI at the time of the disappearance.
  • BMI is body mass index. It relates to an individual's height and weight. I include it believing it can help picture a missing person or describe one.
Shaelene Keeler Bell has not been seen since January 30th, 2021 at about 8:30pm, when she was 23 years old. When people have been missing for such a short time, then the details regarding their disappearances are more likely to be updated. Be sure to check the news for regular updates regarding this case. City News in Chilliwack is one source that is covering this case, however, any Google search for her name is likely to produce some news hits.

What stands out with this case, is that her car was found and there were possessions in it that she would likely want to have on her person (ie. cell phone). The vehicle was found on Ballam Road near the Fraser River in the 47000 block. This vehicle was a 2021 Hyundai Tucson (a four-door SUV). I 'walked' this road using Google Maps and the stretch near the Fraser River looks secluded. I don't see there being much traffic there at any point in the day and hardly any at night.

If you know where this person might be or have any information on this case, then please contact the authorities. Contact information is included in the missing person poster at the start of this blog post.
