“We would again like to take the opportunity to thank the public for their assistance in the matter and contributing to the positive outcome in this case,” a news release says.
The news comes following calls this week for help to find her.
The Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs issued a plea to the public, police, and media to remain vigilant in her disappearance saying too often efforts to find missing Indigenous women and girls lose profile and attention as time passes.
Morris’ father also took to social media to provide updates on the investigation and to offer a cash reward for any information that could help bring her home.
========================================================
The Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaw Chiefs is renewing calls to help find a missing 24-year-old Eskasoni First Nation woman.
Twenty-four-year-old Marley Alicia Morris was last seen in downtown Dartmouth on February 18th. She was reported missing a week later.
Halifax Regional Police describe her as an Indigenous woman, standing approximately 5’8″, 200 pounds, with brown eyes and long dark brown hair.
The assembly is concerned for her wellbeing and wants police and the media to remain vigilant in her disappearance.
“We must keep up the momentum in the search for Marley,” says Chief Annie Bernard Daisley in a news release. “Efforts to find missing Indigenous women and girls can sometimes lose profile and attention as time passes, and we want to ensure that does not happen to Marley’s case and potentially place her at further risk.”
Chief Bernard Daisley says they want to ensure Morris’ case does not disappear from the media or police’s attention.

The Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre is also drawing attention to Morris’ case and encourages the public to help in the search.
“She is a beautiful and loving Mi’kmaq woman, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend,” the group says in a Facebook post. “We know that efforts have been made by the police, her family and community members to find her, but we need to keep the search going now more than ever.”
Halifax Police say there is no information to suggest Marley has met with foul play, however, they are concerned for her well-being.
“We just want her home safe,” Francis says. “Let’s all work together. Let’s bring Marley home together. It’s hard on everyone. I haven’t been getting too much sleep, my family is very stressed out. We’re so worried. Not knowing is the worst.”
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call police at 902-490-5020 or to send an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
