On the afternoon of April 11, 2013 a Caucasian male between the ages of forty to fifty years old approached a nineteen year old female within the Town of Fort Macleod, Alberta. The male asked the woman multiple times if she required a ride and she replied no and then walked away. The male did not exit the vehicle and after following the young woman for a short distance then drove off. The vehicle was described as a white extended cab truck.


The young woman was not able to provide any further description of the male or the vehicle he was driving.
