Sarah Mills: Where's the beef in the latest round of fast-food advertising?
Sarah Mills says a multi-millionaire CEO might want to stick to steak rather than classic burgers.
The trail has gone cold for Regina Police Service (RPS) investigators trying to find a missing woman whom they now believe is dead.
But her family is not giving up hope.

“My mom has been a huge part in my life and she always found a way to see me,” the 12-year-old daughter of Nakita Jade Harris said in a statement released by RPS. “I would love if we could find her to ensure her safety and I am so happy to have a mom like her.”
Harris, who often went by her middle name, Jade, was last seen in October 2023 at a home on the 2200 block of Broder Street. She was last heard from a month later.
She was then reported missing to police April 10, 2024. Harris was 30 at the time.
At a news conference, Deputy Chief of Operations Laurel Marshall said police believe Harris is deceased, based on information they’ve gathered and a lack of communication with family.
“There’s no footprint of her being here, whether it be accessing financial records, health records, social media has been inactive,” Marshall said. “Nobody has heard from her or seen her as well, and just checks and monitoring all public services across Canada, there has been no indication that she’s accessed any services.”
Marshall also said it is unlike Harris to miss holidays and birthdays with her daughter.
“She would stand out in a crowd because of her tattoos and her beauty,” Murphy said. “She would wear wigs and change her appearance often.” (Regina Police Service/Website)
“She dearly loves her daughter, and would not intentionally leave her in Regina,” Harris’s mother Paula Murphy said in a statement.
“Someone knows something so please reach out. We need to find her. Her daughter needs her mom, and I need my daughter.”
Police hope that the passage of time will prompt people who might have information to come forward.
Nakita Jade Harris is five-foot-five-inches tall, weighing approximately 150 pounds, and frequently changes her appearance, but has a pierced septum and a number of notable tattoos including a skull and butterfly on her upper left arm, a compass on her left elbow, a campfire on her left forearm, and an octopus on her right hand.
“She would stand out in a crowd because of her tattoos and her beauty,” Murphy said. “She would wear wigs and change her appearance often.”
The statement from Harris’s mother closed with an appeal to her daughter.
“Nakita, if you see this or hear this, please know that we love you and we are here for you. No matter what happens, we can get through it together.”
