IHIT finishes search at house of missing Langley mother Naomi Onotera

LANGLEY (NEWS 1130) — Homicide investigators have finished up their investigation at the home of a Langley mother who went missing late last month.

In a statement to NEWS 1130, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says it has finished its work at the home of Naomi Onotera, but the investigation continues and it will use the information it gathered in the search.

Police tape and barricades went up around the home early last week, but police cautioned against assuming anyone living there was being investigated.

Onotera was last seen leaving her home near 200 Street and 50 Avenue in Langley on Aug 28. Police have appealed to people who live in the area, or who were driving through for any security or dashcam footage captured between 6 p.m. on Aug. 28 and 7 a.m. on Aug. 29.

The disappearance of Onotera has shocked family, friends, and the wider community, with her sister saying it is almost overwhelming.

“It’s been surreal, and our whole family’s worst nightmare. We never expected anything like this to ever happen. We just miss her a lot. We just want to see her again, we want to have holidays with her, we want to have summers with her,” Kirsten Kerr told NEWS 1130.

Volunteers in the community, organizing online through a Facebook group, have blanketed parts of the Lower Mainland with posters pleading for information to help locate Onotera.

A candlelight vigil held earlier this month drew dozens of people to Langley’s Sendall Botanical Gardens. Others posted pictures online, lending their support from afar.

A dedicated tip line has been set up for anyone who has information about Onotera’s disappearance, the number is 604-532-3398. Anyone with information “requiring an immediate response” is asked to call the non-emergency line at 604-532-3200.
