Thelma Krull: 'Jog your memory' event held for missing woman
Krull, 57, went missing 4 weeks ago after going out for a walk
The family of Thelma Krull held another a walk Saturday morning, and this time it started at the exact time she was last seen leaving her home.
Krull, 57, went missing four weeks ago today. She left on a walk in the north part of Transcona at 7:23 a.m. on July 11 and never returned.
Krull's daughter Lisa Besser and others set off from Thelma's home at 7:23 a.m. Saturday morning as part of the "Jog your memory" event.
"We had asked people to just take a walk from their home and in the area," said Besser.
We went out today so we could clear our minds and be more observant- Susan Dell
A group of people joined Besser's party near Valley Gardens Community Centre.
Susan Dell, one of Krull's co-workers and friends, said the point of the walk was to help searchers visualize "what might have been going on four weeks ago" in the neighbourhood.
"I think it's great people are still searching because we're not going to give up. Thelma wouldn't have given up on any of us," Dell said. "If it had been any other jogger, walker, hiker, she probably would've been the one organizing all the searches. That's the kind of person she was, or is, I should say."
Dell said she has caught herself using the past tense when talking about her missing co-worker.
"It's hard not to ... when someone has been gone for four weeks," said Dell. "We just don't want people to give up.... That's why we went out today, so we could clear our minds and be more observant of the traffic and the people [in the area]."
The walk was roughly 3.6 kilometres and took about 40 minutes, Besser said.
Anyone with information about Krull's whereabouts is asked to contact the Winnipeg Police Service Missing Persons Unit at 204-986-6250.
