Hey there, time traveller!

The search for missing Zhimin (Maggie) Liu continued Thursday, with more volunteers coming forward, including Drag the Red.
Podge Dimagiba, Liu’s husband, made a request on Facebook this week for anyone with a boat to help with the search. Liu has been missing since Sunday night.
Drag the Red volunteered to patrol the shorelines of the Red in hopes of finding Liu alive. Police already searched along the Assiniboine River to the Forks.
The river near their Academy Road home is where Liu and husband Podge Dimagiba like to walk their dog.
“It’s just a hunch,” said Liu’s mother-in-law, Cecilia Dimagiba, who lives with the family.
Drag the Red will search by canoe because parts the river are too shallow and rocky to travel by motorboat at this time of year.
Bear Clan Patrol has been helping from the start, and is co-ordinating the volunteer search.
Liu left the house in the middle of the night while the family was sleeping.
She has no money, and left her wallet with credit cards at home. She was wearing only a thin coat and may be barefoot, the family says.
