Surrey Police Service, working alongside the RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit, is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing woman who has not been heard from for more than two weeks.

Police say 33-year-old Joanna Barth was last seen around 7:30 a.m. on December 20 in the 9800 block of Foxglove Drive in Surrey. Investigators report there has been no contact with her since that time.

Barth is described as an Indigenous woman standing approximately 5 foot 7 to 5 foot 8 inches tall, weighing between 120 and 130 pounds. Police note she often has dyed hair. Officers say they are concerned because she has been out of contact with her community supports.

Surrey police are urging anyone who may have seen Barth or has information about her whereabouts to come forward. Authorities say even small details could assist in locating her safely.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey Police Service at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 25-68597 (SU).
