UPDATE: Mother of missing woman suspects she was abducted

Dec 9, 2015 | 3:03 PM

The mother of a missing Saskatoon woman suspects she’s been abducted after finding her semi-truck empty in a gravel pit just outside Kenaston.

“Her coat was left in the semi and the key was in it, her cellphone was left there, it’s very suspicious,” said Juliann Sorotski, mother of 51-year-old Sheree Fertuck.

Saskatoon Mounties continue to search for Fertuck after her mother reported her missing Tuesday morning.

“I suspected something Monday night when she didn’t come home. Then on Tuesday when she wasn’t home, I went to the gravel pit and found that she was nowhere around and I knew something was wrong and that she probably had been abducted, there was no signs of a struggle,” Sorotski said. “This is totally out of character for her and if she was going somewhere she would’ve had her cellphone and she would’ve called me.”

The semi-truck she uses to haul gravel was spotted Tuesday morning at a gravel pit east of Kenaston off Highway 15.
 
Police have since combed the area around the gravel pit and turned up empty handed as far as Sorotski has been told.

“Everybody is very upset and just waiting to hear some kind of news, but hopefully they’ll find her … We’re trying to carry on as best we can,” Sorotski said.

Fertuck’s daughter is currently in the midst of writing final exams at the University of Saskatchewan, and the news of her mother missing has thrown a wrench into her life.

Sorotski said the news has shaken the entire family just before Christmas.

Fertuck is about five-feet four-inches tall and around 250 pounds with greying brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing grey sweat pants, a grey sweater and white running shoes.

If anyone has any information about Fertuck’s whereabouts, they are asked to contact the Saskatoon RCMP at 306-975-5145 or Saskatchewan Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
