Apr 12, 2011 | 6:10 AM

Family members say Margaret Rose Sewap was an outgoing and caring person.

“I cried right away,” said Sewap’s sister, Crystal Nawakayas, when describing what it was like, when she was told of the death of her sister.

The body of the 33-year-old Sewap was found Friday morning a behind a business in the midtown district.

Police are now calling her death suspicious and say foul play is possible.

Nawakayas said the family is searching for answers.

“It's hard, no one is telling us nothing … I don't know who she was last with.”

Nawakayas said she had not spoken to her sister for a few months and the family was hoping to get more information from police later today.

Sewap has also left behind children.

“She had three … she was a single mother … the kids are all in foster care,” said Nawakayas.

Margaret's father, Ernest Felix, declined comment.

The family said a funeral will be held Friday on the Red Earth First Nation.
