      As one living with schizophrenia since the age of 28--I am now 65--I can relate to her sense of shame and inadequacy. I was hearing voices in my head telling me I was worthless and should kill myself. If she actually was psychotic she may have believed what her voices were telling her and felt she wasn't worthy of her mother's love. It's not rational.

      The things she wrote were metaphysical and an indicator of a spritual awakening.
      I experienced the same thing and one feels as though someone is watching you all the time.
      Awareness expands from within and observes ones ego, thoughts and actions.
      It can cause paranoia.
      If she was being stalked she could have gone to the police, got a restraining order, end of story.
      I'm convinced her angst was a result of losing her identity and is refered too as Dark night of the Soul.
      I'd search some spritual centers, ashrams or Buddhist monasteries for her, just in case.

      @@JustDr.S Agreed. It isn't "paranoia" when someone is actually stalking you, as he openly admitted to. Lol. It's actually a rational fear based in REALITY. But, two things can be true at the same time; one can be both experiencing some type of metal struggle/illness AND be being victimized. As the doctor points out, people with mental health issues are often more vulnerable to this kind of thing. I've seen it first hand myself.
      Also, I wonder, in light of the charges levied against her mother and brother (even if the charges against her mother were dropped), if something in the family history created another real fear, if not just significant hesitation, to go be with her mother and that's why she kept reaching out but waffling.

      I think it's normal for people who grew up in a culture that keeps telling them that one needs to be strong no matter what. If your body or mind needs help - you are defective, not normal, a bad person who is being punished for their wickedness. This is the message we get all the time. There is a stigma around vulnerability. This stigma holds the capitalist society together. Imagine if we collectively believed that mental health issues, health problems can happen to anyone, in many cases are unavoidable and nobody's fault? We would need a competely different model of society then, focused on education, healthcare, well-being...

    That was a suicide note to my mind. She said she would be dead when the reader found her note. Then she describes death from a non religious mindset - her energy goes back to being pure energy, back to the stars. Given how close she was to a trail, that she left all her stuff behind, seems to me she went in there and died. And has never been found. Or maybe she was found, by the guy who used her card. Easier to explain to the police that you found the card randomly lying on the ground than you came across a dead body and rifled through the corpse's pockets to steal. That note is a suicide note from someone who can't quite bring herself to use the words. It is extraordinarily difficult to verbalise those feelings when there is such shame attached.

    I feel such a lot of connection to this case.I think it's because I was living in Victoria at the same time as Emma, it's also when my mental health deteriorated very severely and we're also nearly the same age with her being only a year older than I am. I ended up moving back home after about 2ish years in Vic, fortunately for me I did have something of a support network and home was just a few hours drive up Island. I wonder what would have happened if I'd been far from home with little support like Emma. I struggle to get help for my mental illness and wonder if it would have made any difference if she'd tried knowing how broken, understaffed, underfunded and difficult the system is to navigate given my personal experience. I think I just look at Emma and whatever happened to her and see how easily it could have been me if my circumstances had been just a bit different. Having my mental health deteriorate and not understanding what was happening or why, losing my ability to function was a very frightening thing and I can't imagine how it would be to also be in an incredibly vulnerable position like living on the streets or in a shelter. I've mostly come to terms with my mental illness now and have learned to manage my expectations but when I'm dealing with a lot of stress if worsens considerably and it's still scary to this day not really being able to look after myself without considerable help and support from the people around me.

      I wondered if attraction came first but someone behaving very odd becomes both entertainment and possibly a rescue ( and happily ever after thought but not expressed. ). It was after the fellow realized his presence might be frightening to her, and contributed to her missing status, because he never had any bad intentions, just attraction and absent minded curiosity until she slipped away. Dumb to call himself a stalker but humans make bad word choices and bad choices in trying to connect.

    Having lived in the area and understanding the spiritual practices Emma was exposed to it is possible she literally left her old life behind.
    This is very common.
    I however feel the complete disappearance to date suggests foul play.

    Emma’s mother was so close to reaching her. Just missed her by hours. That would haunt a mother forever.
    Edit: Just googled for an update. Her mother Shelley, is shocked it’s been 8 years with no new information. She just wants news, good or bad, about Emma. That has to be such a painful existence hoping your child is alive but understanding the probability isn’t very good. The not knowing, hopeful one day to sinking down the next, is so awful to contemplate.

      People, even stalkers, have a propensity to tell the police the truth. But, his admission, does shed a light on Emma’s so called paranoia. It’s hard to be labeled paranoid, when people confess to stalking her.
      The other point is the police were called and they quite correctly determined she was not a threat to herself or others in a legal sense, but she is now missing, probably forever. There should be another level of assessment on a social/mental level where someone in destress can be evaluated in a stress free environment. (Not, in the back of a police car.) A simple question,, “What’s bothering you so much you are not wearing shoes in 45 degree weather?” A terrible tragedy.

Asking vague questions while sitting in a police car doesn't cut it. They need to ask SPECIFIC questions that are pointed as you pointed out which would be much more beneficial in determining whether someone is in the midst of a mental health crisis.

      Hmmm, I've had psychosis and paranoia at some point in my life and I was in therapy for quite some time.
      If someone would've called the cops on me for doing nothing wrong, but simply standing at a corner/crossing and not walking, while I'm paranoid, this certainly would've p!ssed me off severely, frightened me endlessly and likely would've thrown me over the edge mentally and emotionally...
      I hate to say this, but people are literally brainwashed into calling the cops for everything and expecting they'd know what to do/say and how to react.
      & I'm far from defending the cops, bc if I'd love them so much, I certainly wouldn't write, that their "intervention" would've thrown me over the edge.

    Edited:
    Here are more details on the sighting mentioned at 6:31
    From an article:
    Until a new witness, simply identified as William, told Emma’s mother, Shelley Fillipoff, that he had seen her on the morning of Nov. 29 while driving to work.
    “He did have a great deal of struggle not saying anything,” Fillipoff said. “His family urged him not to come forward because he might be implicated, but he came forward anyway.”
    William spotted Emma while driving to Saanich from Esquimalt, driving up Admirals Road after she jumped off the street onto the sidewalk and seemed to be in distress.
    William pulled over, asked if she was okay and found her to be very afraid of something he couldn’t see. William offered to give her a ride into town on his way to work. After she got in the car, he said she was very calm, and asked William to take her to her friend’s place in Colwood.
    William was late to his new job, and offered instead to drop her off closer to Colwood.
    At 5:15 a.m. William dropped Emma off at the intersection of Craigflower Road and Admirals Road near the Petro Canada gas station.

    Thank you for covering this case from my home town -- and not in a sensationalized way. Victoria is relatively welcoming for people who are homeless and have mental illnesses. They are usually not hassled and there is not much the police can do, unless the person is in extreme distress. If I were there now, I could find several people with more severe symptoms than Emma seemingly had, on Government Street alone.
    This is only a guess, but IMO the most likely scenario is that she fell in the water near the Galloping Goose trail (it runs all the way from downtown to Colwood, and parts of it are by the water), drowned, and her body was swept out to sea by the tide.

    With all due respect I couldn’t help but note that not once did you mention British Columbia. You indeed mentioned many key locations in Victoria and that it’s a long way from Perth Ontario, but considering it’s a missing persons case and many people do not know a lot about Canada, I thought it may have been helpful to mention that Victoria is on Canada’s west coast in British Columbia. Victoria is also the capital of BC.
    I’ve been fascinated with this case for years and I live not too far from Victoria about 90 miles north of Vancouver BC. I’ve encountered many people in my life who don’t know their Canadian geography well at all. I guess that’s why it stood out to me.

    Some of Emma,s qoutes suggest some understanding of Astrophysics and Metaphysics.
    ( further evidence of a beginning of a spiritual Awakening)
    1. "I'm not free, until the world is free"
    (She is refering to spritual freedom, which is delayed until ones ego is transended and all will be free only when the collective ego is transended.
    Also known as Oneness!)
    2. "Float about on energy or not"
    (This is an indication of the subtle spiritual body and most likely the Astral plane. The difference is the gross physical plane and the subtle floating energy of the Astral plane.
    She's not sure of graduation.)
    3. " watching dying stars" (she has some Astrophysical knowledge about stars.
    All stars will die and most after about 5 billion years.
    Some will end in a Supernova and others White Dwarfs.
    Her explanation seems to mean she will observe this star process in the expanded perception of a spiritual body.)
    4. "Dreaming milky dreams"" The entire Cosmos and all other planes, are dreams of pure conciousness.
    The Astral plane Appears milky white or translucent.)
    5. "Shadow dancing on your time lines"
    ( Shadow dancing can refer to as being a Ghost, but she might mean as spirit.
    Spirit has a different view of "time" which is very much expanded, in higher planes and can be seen in totality.
    Past, present, and future may all be viewed at once, which may point to the reference of dancing on time lines)
    6. Her reference to being watched, in conjunction with her understanding of metaphysics, implies a seperation between her ego and the observer/ awareness.
    This is common and confusing during a shift in conciousness.
    Spiritual Awakening.)

    If only she’d kept her passport, I could relax in the possibility that she’s alive somewhere else in the world.

Your content, voice, and knowledge are refreshing to me. May I inquire what type of Doctor you are? Obviously not a Dr.Oz &/ or a Dr.Phil type of lunatic. I no longer watch t.v.
