Thank you so much everyone for all of the love and comments, it means so much to my family and I to know other people care.. Thank you again John and Thank you Sandy for all your help for getting my sisters case out there... Much love to you all 💕
Robin, I just made a post to you. Thanks so much for coming on. I'm so sorry for what you and your family continue to endure. Andria is precious and she deserves respect and recognition. Your family deserve the same respect and recognition, and the same care, attention and support. I will light a candle this weekend to hold space for you all, and I'll keep you in my prayers.🙏 🌬🌬(sage)💫🧚 EDIT: much love back to you. 💛
Dear Robin, I think we should thank you for doing that interview with John, and for fighting with your sister to find out what happend to Andria. She seems to be a beautiful person, and she is also lucky, because she has you and your sister who never gave up finding her. Stay strong, I am sending you and your family love from Hungary!
Thank you so much for giving my mom's story this spotlight. It means a lot that people are still keeping her story out there. It means the world to see this.
Thank you for this post. Messages like this mean the world to me, and seeing your aunt light up when remembering good times with your mother warms my heart. I hope answers are on the way for you and your family.
A woman I went to school with was found last September after being missing for 7 years. She led a high risk lifestyle, drugs and prostitution, and unfortunately she was found deceased. This is in Grand Prairie. Her husband has been charged. I pray that Andria is found also. Doesnt matter whether she did drugs or not. She's a human being and deserves the same respect as anyone else.
Sadly a good friend of my nieces growing up, was living a high risk lifestyle in her late teens, and went missing in 2010. Her family, mom especially, spent 5 agonizing years searching for her daughter, whose remains were found in 2015. They found the individual that murdered her, and he was sentenced to life in prison, which as we know in Canada is 25 years maximum. While my heart still breaks for Karina's mom and family, I know she has some peace now knowing Karina is surrounded by the Creator. 🕊
It shouldn't matter what type of lifestyle the missing lived, they are still family to someone. Robin, Danielle and family I pray you get closure on your sister. Someone somewhere knows something.
Well, it is alot harder to track down some folks for various reasons. Ive had some friends go missing who had jars drug problems and homeless issues and even those of us who were his friends and also were homeless were lost for words when they dissapeared, could kist be strung out in a homeless camp anywhere without a cell phone, maybe they don't want to be found, maybe they are steering clear of warrants until Statute of Limitations wears off, maybe they had a mental break, noone knows. I don't think most folks saying that because she lived a "high risk lifestyle" that they don't give a damn, but truth is police usually make it low or no priority
Poor girl went missing from five potentially different cities in 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012 and has been bouncing between 5'8, 5'9, and 5'11 the entire time. No wonder nobody can find her.
Andria seems like such a strong woman. That "always happy" personality is exactly how I was in active addiction. She's been through so much trauma... that makes me so sad. I'm praying that wherever she is, she is safe and at peace. ❤
I cried quite a few times listening to this, I will pray that you get resolve and that many, many blessings will come into all your lives. I am praying now. God bless.
I did too , I was so close with my sister. She passed away young due to illness. But Good Lord , having to force Police to take a missing report after many, many years. Some parts of Canada seem racist against the Native Canadian s. All over is very careless over substance abusers & sex workers not given as much help as everyone else. All humans should get good fast service. I hope she can be found.
@@blazefairchild465 I think of the poor children that are attacked and abused, and this is a regular occurrence and the parents are not in their lives, what chance do they really have for happiness, I marvel they mke it to adulthood.I had a horrible childhood and I can understand to some degree the suffering here. I see my own daughters and I pray they would not have to keep crying about their lives.I want them to be happy.
💫 Robin, thanks for coming on to share stories and personalizing Andria to highlight her case. She sounds like such a lovely, caring person. 🌈 My heart goes out to you, Danielle, your parents, and your family, particularly Andria's kids. I'm so sorry for the suffering you've experienced and the difficulties you've endured just trying to get assistance and proper attention from police and the public. That anyone would tell you to just "get over it" is heartbreaking and insulting. People can be so hurtful even when they mean well. "Get over it?" Absurd! This epidemic of missing indigenous woman is appalling. It's imperative that LE and the public keep these cases in the spotlight, and the disproportionate violence Native woman face. I wish you and your family peace, comfort and continued strength. I hope you get all the support and help you need to find answers and, especially, to find your beloved Andria. 💜🙏 Sending love and hugs your way. 🌬🌬🌬✌🏻💚🌟 Thanks to Sandy for recommending Andria's case, and to John for covering it.
Thank you so much 💕 It is nice to finally know that others are on our side and care so much... It has been a hard dark road but I never give up .... much love to you 💕
John Lordan, you are a great soul for being the person you are and doing the work you do. It is priceless and I have so much respect for you. I truly hope that Andria has found peace somehow, wherever she is on the Earth. So much respect and love out to Robin for calling out the local government, forces, and media out for their lack of care placed upon this case and many other cases of Indigenous people. I'm proud of you for being so strong.
@@okoenig.3424 ahh bless it's so nice to hear hun it makes people want to find someone when people hear personal lovely stuff about the person thanks for your reply. I hope there are answers soon xx
@@okoenig.3424 just wish there was more I could do to help it breaks my heart thinking of all the missing people and the families that don't have answers and thank you for your comment hun x
Robin, I care. I am so sorry for what your entire family including Andria have gone through. I'm crying, but also fired up. It makes me want to go to Grand Prairie and investigate myself.
Hi Deeter, I hope you are able to spread the word to others in that area who may have been unaware of the case like you were. Cheers Carol from Australia
These stories always leave me in pieces! I can’t even fathom how the families go through it. Robin thank you so much for joining John and telling your stories about Andria. It was great to hear you laugh about great memories you have with her. You, Andria and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Andria Meise, sounds like a wonderful woman that just took a wrong turn in her life, as we all have done at one time or another. I sure hope you are able to find her. It always hurts my heart when disappearances aren't taken seriously because of drugs or other bad choices someone has made. Bad choices don't make them less than, they are still loved by someone, they are still someone's family member. I wish you the very best at finding your sister.
My heart goes out to Andria, her family & friends. We all wish for a little sister who is as loyal & fierce as Robin. I care about what is happening to the indigenous woman, I will offer my prayers to the Creator. There are people that care, we just need to step up more. I am in United States and will look to help here in some way. Thank you Lordan for such a great show.
Thank you Jon for caring so much about this case. I know about the missing and murdered indigenous women from other videos and my heart breaks for these families! More has to be done for these women! What's wrong with the RCMP that they are so callous about this! It's on the verve of criminal, not just laziness!!
It should never matter how a person who went missing lived. What matters is that they are missing and they have family who love them. I see this more and more it’s so sad.
I didn't expect to feel so sad after listening to this case. Andria's family has had to endure so much. Someone out there knows something- lets hope they come forward soon. Prayers for Robin, Danielle and all of Andria's family.
I so appreciate John covering cases of people who struggle. I have family members who struggle with similar things and have gone missing (and luckily later found) and it really feels like people just don’t care about people in these situations. It’s so heartbreaking and I feel so much for these families in particular.
Please let someone know what you know about Andria. Your silence is not helping. Remain anonymous if you need to but help this beautiful family find their loved one.
Since moving to Japan several years ago, I've unfortunately fallen out of touch with a lot of things going on in my home province. Thank you for covering this case, and giving me an overview about how things have been going since the announcement was made to do an inquiry into the missing and murdered indigenous women. I want to mention that I briefly mentioned this inquiry on another video several months ago. Someone replied to me claiming that the numbers against indigenous people aren't that bad. He was pretty arrogant about how he approached it, saying that he studied it extensively in university, though I don't recall the exact specifics. When I asked him for evidence, I never got a response. I found it off putting that this person was basically showing off about this education that he claimed he had, but never followed through to demonstrate that knowledge. I do worry that these trolls will come back to comment on this video, so let's work together as a community to report those as quickly as possible. Being in Japan, I'll usually be awake while most of North America is sleeping, so I'll be able to catch what I can during that time. Edited for clarity.
My old stomping ground: Ft. St. John and Dawson Creek, B.C. I left that area in August, 1959. Also, I worked for the RCMP in Alberta in 1956. Andria is truly a lost woman. She has all the hallmarks of the forgotten on the list of the missing. I hurt for all our missing First Nation sisters and all missing women in whatever country. Thank you, John.
I hate how indigenous woman are just pushed aside, forgotten. I wish there was more i coukd do. Thoughts and prayers for this family and all the missing women.
Thank you John Lordan for covering a case of a missing native which is my passion. I’m currently working on my channel. I also have a FB group called MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS PEOPLES and I hope you don’t mind but I shared this in my group. I hope everyone will join my group. My first RUclips case will be on Aubrey Dameron and I’m working on my script as we speak as well as 4 cases for Jason. Great job as usual Mr. Lordan.
We definitely care for Andria, her family and all the forgotten beautiful indigenous women and children of this land. May God continue to hold the hand of Andria's family, until they are finally able to find closure for their beloved daughter, sister, mother and friend!!!!! Thank you, John, for continuing to graciously be the voice for the voiceless in such a supportive and compassionate way!!!
Andria sounds like a truely lovely and caring person. I'm sorry that she is missing and hope so hard that she is found. Sending love to Robin and the whole family. Xx
You and your family are in my prayers, Robin. I live along the "HIGHWAY OF TEARS" in-between Prince Rupert and Hazelton ( I am NOT an indigenous woman ) but I see the racism all day every day and it makes me physically sick God created every one of us and we all bleed RED there should be NO Racism no matter where anyone's heritage is from I worked for a friendship center working with women and a large number of homeless and it was the most rewarding experience of my life! Everyone should have to work or volunteer at a friendship center and sit and get to know the people and ask their stories. The Canadian Government is NOT doing enough they never have and they probably never will my heart hurts so bad for all the missing women.
The way you cover stories with such compassion and breaking down the whole case is really well put. Do you take requests to cover cases? I’m curious to know your opinion about two Dutch girls going missing in Panama , Kriss and Lisanne. There’s so many cases to me that are eerie and hard to form an opinion on. Thank you for the work you do and putting all the information out there for us to educate.
Robin you are not alone. This community alone feels for you & the rest of Andrias family. We love & care. And John is the best at what he does. I’ll continue to keep your sister in my thoughts.
I am wondering why it is even up to the discretion of the police department as to the filing of Missing Persons reports. They are an entity of service and protection as well as enforcing laws. Police work for the people, period. Any and all reports should be taken immediately at the discretion of the filer and then investigated and updated as needed. Police acting on assumptions based on statistics is the wrong approach from the start, every case should be treated as if the worst is possible, if not probable.
Exactly. Ive always felt the same! Officers are public servants! Plus...who knows the missing better? Police, or family and friends trying to make a report? Theres a reason ppl file one. Because knowing the individual, and not being in contact in a certain amount of time concerns them. It ticks me off that police EVER refuse one to be filed! Families usually wait longer than they should to file because nobody wants to file, then the person pop up everything fine, and ppl get embarrassed. So in my opinion - if the ppl closest to the individual are worried.... they should be able to file, and LE SHOULD take it seriously!!
Couldn't have said it better. This makes my blood boil. Especially when statistically, the best chance of finding someone is within the first few hours. And it is virtually impossible after that.
Great, great questions, John. I love hearing family, friends tell stories of their loved ones. I can’t imagine having someone disappear. Listening to her Sister laugh&speak with love of her family makes you feel like she WAS here. She existed. She’s not forgotten. She was/is loved & is missed greatly.
All of my love from Ontario. I know that out west especially, indigenous communities are constantly struggling to get answers and justice for countless loved ones. My heart is with you, and I’m glad we can help you know that you are not alone. We care for your sister. Deeply. ❤️
Thank god for the likes of you and Danelle Hallen John. You both have raised the profile of MMIW via your platforms, and as a woman of a mixed race background, it's a subject close to my heart personally, and one that desperately needs addressing. I'm heartsore for Andria, Robin and the whole family. Such a terrible case. 💔
Thanks Robin for sharing Andria story, and thanks John for covering this case. My heart goes out to Andria's family, I hope you guys find some answers soon 🙏❤
I'm so sorry this has happened to your family, it makes me so sad to be Canadian and ashamed that we don't give Native Americans the support they need. It's scary enough being a woman but then you think how terrifying it is to be a Native American woman it's appalling. I really hope you get the closure you and your family needs this isn't okay.
When you said a missing person's case had only been filed FOUR YEARS later, I incredulously said, "What?!" out loud! But, oh, it's an Indigenous woman facing the RCMP.
Although this isn't my town, it's a few hours away from here in Vancouver, and Vancouver being the largest city in the province we usually hear the news from the other major centres. It makes me mad that I haven't heard about this one. It's also distressing, the innumerable people who have posted regarding other missing persons cases who say they have not heard of the case, when they are from the very same down! Thank goodness for people like you, John!
In the last few months I've become more and more invested in and moved by these cases and it's because of the way that John weaves the actual family into the narrative which is so effective in bringing the missing to life as real people with real stories who are not just another statistic. Also very glad to see yet another appallingly-handled case of a missing indigenous woman being brought into focus. People are accountable for this careless attitude and should be judged accordingly. I hope Andria's family will eventually get some answers.
So sad, I am so sorry for this families loss and what they’re going through. It’s been way too long and there’s a lot more people who care when we DO find out about stories and families like this. It’s just a shame that’s it had to take so long to get some coverage on this. I really hope some answers come for this family. My heart really really goes out to all of the family, I wish there was more I could do to help. 😞❤️🙌🏼
Thank you, Robin. You really gave us a wonderful picture of your sister's love and personality. And I hope Mr. Trudeau is questioned about this publicly. A plan can be outsourced and in-progress virtually.
The complete unconcern about the disappearance of indigenous women is horrifying. This abysmal treatment has to stop!! The family could have had help and this could have been solved if they hadn’t willfully disregarded her and treated her as a throwaway person. I am so sad and angry all at the same time!
Heartbreaking case, I do believe this case was not looked into because of biased thoughts. The police dropped the ball on this case on so many levels. Hope the family gets the answers they deserve. 🙏
Thank you John for the wonderful work you have done in helping spread information about Andria's case. Your interview with Robyn helped in bringing out the real person that people know as Andria....not just a bunch of cut and pasted, potentially inaccurate, words from one publication to the next. It's obscene the difficulty Robyn experienced in having her sister reported as missing and so very sad that so many indigenous women (including here in Australia) are treated like they have lesser value and their rights are virtually ignored. Robyn, you and your family should be proud for having the stamina and perseverance to stand up and fight for your sisters rights to be heard....while it must have felt like you were shouting into the wind. Good luck with getting some answers and healing for the family.
My heart is breaking Robin I so hope you learn something to help find Andria. A lot of us feel helpless because if I could help find Andria I would in a heartbeat. There are people in this evil world that care about you and Andria. Love and Hugs, Roni
Robin, my heart goes out to you and your family. I am so sorry for, not only the loss of your sister (as you said you believe her to be with the Creator now), but the horrific way you have been treated in your endeavors to find her. A big virtual hug to you, and sending you strength, love and light. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I care about you and your sister. May you feel her presence with you, watching over all of you, laughing with you and protecting you every day, in spirit.
Lordan.....you really are a good person!💜- and you are doing a good job!☺ Robin.....we are SO many who cares❤ I live in Norway....but I still care about you and your family in my heart❤ It's a shame how police deal with this!!!!! Andria❤
Hi Angelique, we hope it helps bring in some new tips and maybe brings your family the answers you've been waiting for for so long. I also appreciated hearing some stories about your mother and how your aunt lights up when remembering the good times. Take care.
THANK YOU MR JOHN FOR BRINGING UP CASES FROM CANADA, I DON’T KNOW WHY THE POLICE OR OTHER RESOURCES DON’T ASK TO THE PUBLIC FOR HELP. I LIVE IN KELOWNA AND THIS IS CLOSE TO HOME. BLESSINGS 🙏💙🇨🇦
This was a great video. To hear her laugh with memories of her sister is really heartwarming. I pray this family gets the answers they deserve. And I pray that Andrea is found for the whole family. This really just warmed my heart. 💜
John thank you for covering this case. I have lived most of my life in this area of northern British Columbia. This this is the first time I’ve heard of this case. Praying for answers for the family.
My heart goes out to Robin and her family. This is so sad and disturbing. I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Highway of Tears or not but many indigenous woman have been murdered or gone missing on that stretch of Highway in BC Canada for decades now. 😭😭😭 Thank you for the show and thanks to Robin for being here too. So sorry for your loss beautiful lady. I’m happy you came out the other side and are able to help others. I pray that someone calls in the tip you need to bring her to her resting place. Big hugs. 💔🌈🌺🙏
Thank you John for covering this case and shedding more light on the issue of MMIW here in Canada. It's heartbreaking that there are so many cases like Andria's and they don't get the attention they deserve. Robin, my thoughts are with you and your family. I hope you get some answers soon.
That it takes so long to get a person declared missing infuriate me so much. And that it is because you have a sertain lifestile or etnicety they don't like because that is what it is. Most in the RCMP seems to be rasists and doesn't care and that is disgusting..Thanks Robin for sharing who Andrea is/was and how fun and what a incredible person she was. I hope she is found so you and all the other persons who love Adrian gets some peace and having a place to go to morn her. All my love to you and your family 💕 (sorry if I misspelled something English isn't my first language)
Thank you, John & Sarah. My heart breaks for the family losing Andria, her memories, and they still feel dismissed. They are cared about - Andria, the Maise family and friends. Robyn is incredible. Your being willing and doing this. Bravo. I wish you all resolution. Danielle, I am so sorry when describing your sister, you have such sadness. We all really appreciate your sharing some ultra sweet ones. I remember once, when I was 18, my mother told me 'no matter where you go, what's going on in your life, and/or who you may or may not be angry with...stay in contact with at least one preferably two people. You never know when that me the last time. Don't leave people hanging.'
Robin and family & loved ones, You are not alone!! I have personally never had a missing loved one, but I have struggled with my own substance use disorder and issues that come along with that terrible disease, as well as am a mother of three, and I cant imagine the grief endured by all of you. You are all in my loving thoughts and prayers and Im hoping with all my heart you get the answers you all deserve very soon! Thank you John for the video and all your hard hard work you do, I enjoy the content so very much!
We do care. Please know you are not alone. Many of us care and see all the First Nations woman who are abused and are missing. Please know I send your family prayers and hugs.
Robin...please know that you and your precious family are in my prayers. Your sister sounds like a beautiful soul even despite her life's challenges. Many prayers....sending love and light your way!!!!❤
Robin my heart goes out to you and your family. I pray that a heavy weight of guilt gets put into the heart of the person, who can give you your sister back, the uncontrollable need to do so and that the weight will grow exponentially until they do. Love, prayers and best wishes sent your way.
I pray that Andria is found and brought back to her family and community. I was born, raised and still live in not only a province with a high First Nations & Metis population, but city as well. I have First Nations in my family, family friends and neighbors that are both FN and Metis, my heart breaks when I see and hear racism, I have no patience for stereotypes. Our neighborhood is a mix, we've been here 33+ years, wouldn't trade it for anything! Prayers that the Creator surrounds Andria and her family.
i feel for robin. you can tell how much she loves and misses her sister. i loved hearing the stories she told. i can’t imagine what she’s been through these past years, not knowing what has happened to andria. thinking of andria and her family
Another story that is so tragic. Time and time again it’s mentioned in this type of scenario that there is a stigma whether real or imagined about missing persons who are drug users or in the sex industry. Unfortunately this leads to under the radar movements in general and it’s hard to retrace their actions because they don’t usually wear a sign identifying them. It still doesn’t negate the fact that we are talking about human beings who can come from any family. It only adds to the tough going in this case as in many others. My prayers are always with the victims and their families and these cases need an ending one way or the other.
Hi Robin. We care and ours thoughts are with you and your family. Warm wishes and hug sent your way. Thank you for all you do for others who are going through the same thing.
We're looking to get this video seen by the right person (or persons) and you never know which shares are going to be the ones to do it, so I appreciate every single one. Thank you so much Stephanie.
Years ago I moved to Canada to do volunteer work for an organization. As a American Indigenous person I was treated for the most part, with respect. Any bad encounters came from the older, White men who had no problem showing their disdain for me. Canada has a serious racial problem that they sweep under the rug and deny vehemently. They don't seem to understand that it's out in the Public Domain now and can no longer be hidden. The "good" reputation Canada has enjoyed is being destroyed from within, by themselves. Face up to it Canada before it's too late.
Dear Robin. I had to laugh at your description of Andria and the fish. I can relate. On my first fishing trip I caught a large frog and screamed. I never went fishing again ever. You obviously love Andria so much and it shows. Wherever she is, she knows she is loved.
So so sorry Robin and her family are going through this. I would be so devastated if something happened to my big sis. And not knowing after all these years? I can’t even imagine. I hope she get answers soon!! I believe 💕🤞🏽 Sending love and hope from Victoria BC.
Crimes against native women is an issue all over in my opinion. I live in Arizona and see how little coverage that missing native women get. And women in the sex worker industry also get passed by a lot. For Andria to have been apart of both, it's sad how they treated this case. If they had even done something a month after she left I feel like they would know more. But to neglect her for so long after her siblings made several attempts is just upsetting.
Canadian fan here, I’ve never heard of this case. That fact alone is horrible. It’s time for Indigenous women (and all women) to feel safe in their own country.
Thank you so much everyone for all of the love and comments, it means so much to my family and I to know other people care.. Thank you again John and Thank you Sandy for all your help for getting my sisters case out there... Much love to you all 💕
Robin, I just made a post to you. Thanks so much for coming on. I'm so sorry for what you and your family continue to endure. Andria is precious and she deserves respect and recognition. Your family deserve the same respect and recognition, and the same care, attention and support.
I will light a candle this weekend to hold space for you all, and I'll keep you in my prayers.🙏
🌬🌬(sage)💫🧚
EDIT: much love back to you. 💛
Sending so much love your way Robin. Andria seems like such a fun, beautiful soul. You guys deserve answers. ❤
I hope your family gets the answers you guys deserve. Sending love 💕
Best wishes to your family. I have lived in Alberta my whole life and never heard of her case. I hope we can do more as a province.
Dear Robin, I think we should thank you for doing that interview with John, and for fighting with your sister to find out what happend to Andria. She seems to be a beautiful person, and she is also lucky, because she has you and your sister who never gave up finding her. Stay strong, I am sending you and your family love from Hungary!
Thank you so much for giving my mom's story this spotlight. It means a lot that people are still keeping her story out there. It means the world to see this.
Thank you for this post. Messages like this mean the world to me, and seeing your aunt light up when remembering good times with your mother warms my heart. I hope answers are on the way for you and your family.
A woman I went to school with was found last September after being missing for 7 years. She led a high risk lifestyle, drugs and prostitution, and unfortunately she was found deceased. This is in Grand Prairie. Her husband has been charged. I pray that Andria is found also. Doesnt matter whether she did drugs or not. She's a human being and deserves the same respect as anyone else.
Sadly a good friend of my nieces growing up, was living a high risk lifestyle in her late teens, and went missing in 2010.
Her family, mom especially, spent 5 agonizing years searching for her daughter, whose remains were found in 2015. They found the individual that murdered her, and he was sentenced to life in prison, which as we know in Canada is 25 years maximum.
While my heart still breaks for Karina's mom and family, I know she has some peace now knowing Karina is surrounded by the Creator. 🕊
Unfortunately indigenous women are 3 times more likely than white women in Canada to suffer from domestic abuse.
It shouldn't matter what type of lifestyle the missing lived, they are still family to someone. Robin, Danielle and family I pray you get closure on your sister. Someone somewhere knows something.
Yes exactly! Crimes against women, notably Indigenous women, is ridiculously under investigated.
1°)!)
Well, it is alot harder to track down some folks for various reasons. Ive had some friends go missing who had jars drug problems and homeless issues and even those of us who were his friends and also were homeless were lost for words when they dissapeared, could kist be strung out in a homeless camp anywhere without a cell phone, maybe they don't want to be found, maybe they are steering clear of warrants until Statute of Limitations wears off, maybe they had a mental break, noone knows.
I don't think most folks saying that because she lived a "high risk lifestyle" that they don't give a damn, but truth is police usually make it low or no priority
Poor girl went missing from five potentially different cities in 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012 and has been bouncing between 5'8, 5'9, and 5'11 the entire time. No wonder nobody can find her.
Andria seems like such a strong woman. That "always happy" personality is exactly how I was in active addiction. She's been through so much trauma... that makes me so sad. I'm praying that wherever she is, she is safe and at peace. ❤

I did too , I was so close with my sister. She passed away young due to illness. But Good Lord , having to force Police to take a missing report after many, many years.

💫 Robin, thanks for coming on to share stories and personalizing Andria to highlight her case. She sounds like such a lovely, caring person. 🌈
My heart goes out to you, Danielle, your parents, and your family, particularly Andria's kids. I'm so sorry for the suffering you've experienced and the difficulties you've endured just trying to get assistance and proper attention from police and the public.
That anyone would tell you to just "get over it" is heartbreaking and insulting. People can be so hurtful even when they mean well. "Get over it?" Absurd!
This epidemic of missing indigenous woman is appalling. It's imperative that LE and the public keep these cases in the spotlight, and the disproportionate violence Native woman face.
I wish you and your family peace, comfort and continued strength. I hope you get all the support and help you need to find answers and, especially, to find your beloved Andria.
💜🙏
Sending love and hugs your way. 🌬🌬🌬✌🏻💚🌟
Thanks to Sandy for recommending Andria's case, and to John for covering it.
Thank you so much 💕 It is nice to finally know that others are on our side and care so much... It has been a hard dark road but I never give up .... much love to you 💕
John Lordan, you are a great soul for being the person you are and doing the work you do. It is priceless and I have so much respect for you. I truly hope that Andria has found peace somehow, wherever she is on the Earth. So much respect and love out to Robin for calling out the local government, forces, and media out for their lack of care placed upon this case and many other cases of Indigenous people. I'm proud of you for being so strong.
It's so nice to hear the personal things about Andria it makes her more human and not just a missing person.if that makes sense x
She is a really beautiful person. Most loving mom in the world.

Robin, I care. I am so sorry for what your entire family including Andria have gone through. I'm crying, but also fired up. It makes me want to go to Grand Prairie and investigate myself.
Good morning from grande prairie alberta!
I have never even hear of this case. Thank you for covering it Jon.
Hi Deeter, I hope you are able to spread the word to others in that area who may have been unaware of the case like you were. Cheers Carol from Australia
Thank you Robin for loving your sister, I hope that Andria is found soon. I am very sorry for the childhood abuse you both suffered.
These stories always leave me in pieces! I can’t even fathom how the families go through it. Robin thank you so much for joining John and telling your stories about Andria. It was great to hear you laugh about great memories you have with her. You, Andria and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry Robin, your sister deserves better as do you & your family. I hope that you will be able to bring her home soon.
Andria Meise, sounds like a wonderful woman that just took a wrong turn in her life, as we all have done at one time or another. I sure hope you are able to find her. It always hurts my heart when disappearances aren't taken seriously because of drugs or other bad choices someone has made. Bad choices don't make them less than, they are still loved by someone, they are still someone's family member. I wish you the very best at finding your sister.
Much love to Robin, Andria’s Mom & children, & everyone affected by this. May you find her soon, & find some peace. 💗💕
My heart goes out to Andria, her family & friends. We all wish for a little sister who is as loyal & fierce as Robin. I care about what is happening to the indigenous woman, I will offer my prayers to the Creator. There are people that care, we just need to step up more. I am in United States and will look to help here in some way. Thank you Lordan for such a great show.
Thank you Jon for caring so much about this case. I know about the missing and murdered indigenous women from other videos and my heart breaks for these families! More has to be done for these women! What's wrong with the RCMP that they are so callous about this! It's on the verve of criminal, not just laziness!!
Thank you for your strength Robin, we love you and we're here for you. We care. Let's bring your sister home💜💞🙌🏻
Robin, I'm so sorry your family has to go through this. Your sister didn't deserve what happened to her. I pray that you receive answers.
It should never matter how a person who went missing lived. What matters is that they are missing and they have family who love them. I see this more and more it’s so sad.
I didn't expect to feel so sad after listening to this case. Andria's family has had to endure so much. Someone out there knows something- lets hope they come forward soon. Prayers for Robin, Danielle and all of Andria's family.
I so appreciate John covering cases of people who struggle. I have family members who struggle with similar things and have gone missing (and luckily later found) and it really feels like people just don’t care about people in these situations. It’s so heartbreaking and I feel so much for these families in particular.
Please let someone know what you know about Andria. Your silence is not helping. Remain anonymous if you need to but help this beautiful family find their loved one.
Thank you John for doing this story. It means so much to me and Robin's family.
Thank you robbin for been strong coming on tell us about andria sending all my love to Danielle aswell ❤ 💕
Since moving to Japan several years ago, I've unfortunately fallen out of touch with a lot of things going on in my home province. Thank you for covering this case, and giving me an overview about how things have been going since the announcement was made to do an inquiry into the missing and murdered indigenous women.
I want to mention that I briefly mentioned this inquiry on another video several months ago. Someone replied to me claiming that the numbers against indigenous people aren't that bad. He was pretty arrogant about how he approached it, saying that he studied it extensively in university, though I don't recall the exact specifics.
When I asked him for evidence, I never got a response. I found it off putting that this person was basically showing off about this education that he claimed he had, but never followed through to demonstrate that knowledge.
I do worry that these trolls will come back to comment on this video, so let's work together as a community to report those as quickly as possible. Being in Japan, I'll usually be awake while most of North America is sleeping, so I'll be able to catch what I can during that time.
Edited for clarity.
My old stomping ground: Ft. St. John and Dawson Creek, B.C. I left that area in August, 1959. Also, I worked for the RCMP in Alberta in 1956. Andria is truly a lost woman. She has all the hallmarks of the forgotten on the list of the missing.
I hurt for all our missing First Nation sisters and all missing women in whatever country.
Thank you, John.
I hate how indigenous woman are just pushed aside, forgotten. I wish there was more i coukd do. Thoughts and prayers for this family and all the missing women.
Absolutely 🙏
Great episode of "Dime After Dime" yesterday 😂
Seriously though you put SO much time and heart into this work and it shows. ❤
@@ellah3500 lol SAME!
Thanks to everyone for talking abt this. 💞
Thank you John Lordan for covering a case of a missing native which is my passion. I’m currently working on my channel. I also have a FB group called MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS PEOPLES and I hope you don’t mind but I shared this in my group. I hope everyone will join my group. My first RUclips case will be on Aubrey Dameron and I’m working on my script as we speak as well as 4 cases for Jason. Great job as usual Mr. Lordan.
We definitely care for Andria, her family and all the forgotten beautiful indigenous women and children of this land. May God continue to hold the hand of Andria's family, until they are finally able to find closure for their beloved daughter, sister, mother and friend!!!!! Thank you, John, for continuing to graciously be the voice for the voiceless in such a supportive and compassionate way!!!
Andria sounds like a truely lovely and caring person. I'm sorry that she is missing and hope so hard that she is found. Sending love to Robin and the whole family. Xx
Prayers for her family, may she be found soon. 🙏⚘
This is horrific! My heart goes out to the families. I have faith in a sister's intuition. Poor Andria.
Prayers for you all. More care then you care imagine you'll be heavy on my heart tonight!
You and your family are in my prayers, Robin. I live along the "HIGHWAY OF TEARS" in-between Prince Rupert and Hazelton ( I am NOT an indigenous woman ) but I see the racism all day every day and it makes me physically sick God created every one of us and we all bleed RED there should be NO Racism no matter where anyone's heritage is from I worked for a friendship center working with women and a large number of homeless and it was the most rewarding experience of my life! Everyone should have to work or volunteer at a friendship center and sit and get to know the people and ask their stories. The Canadian Government is NOT doing enough they never have and they probably never will my heart hurts so bad for all the missing women.
The way you cover stories with such compassion and breaking down the whole case is really well put. Do you take requests to cover cases? I’m curious to know your opinion about two Dutch girls going missing in Panama , Kriss and Lisanne. There’s so many cases to me that are eerie and hard to form an opinion on. Thank you for the work you do and putting all the information out there for us to educate.
There is a suggestion link at www.LordanArts.com (or in the description box below any video). Take care Olivia.
Robin you are not alone. This community alone feels for you & the rest of Andrias family. We love & care. And John is the best at what he does. I’ll continue to keep your sister in my thoughts.
Robin, you are such a beautiful soul.I wish you all the best all the way from the UK finding your sister.
I am wondering why it is even up to the discretion of the police department as to the filing of Missing Persons reports. They are an entity of service and protection as well as enforcing laws. Police work for the people, period. Any and all reports should be taken immediately at the discretion of the filer and then investigated and updated as needed. Police acting on assumptions based on statistics is the wrong approach from the start, every case should be treated as if the worst is possible, if not probable.
Exactly. Ive always felt the same! Officers are public servants!
Plus...who knows the missing better? Police, or family and friends trying to make a report? Theres a reason ppl file one. Because knowing the individual, and not being in contact in a certain amount of time concerns them.
It ticks me off that police EVER refuse one to be filed!
Families usually wait longer than they should to file because nobody wants to file, then the person pop up everything fine, and ppl get embarrassed.
So in my opinion - if the ppl closest to the individual are worried.... they should be able to file, and LE SHOULD take it seriously!!
Couldn't have said it better. This makes my blood boil. Especially when statistically, the best chance of finding someone is within the first few hours. And it is virtually impossible after that.
Good point.
This is so heartbreaking. I pray that Robin’s sister is found.💔
Great, great questions, John. I love hearing family, friends tell stories of their loved ones. I can’t imagine having someone disappear. Listening to her Sister laugh&speak with love of her family makes you feel like she WAS here. She existed. She’s not forgotten. She was/is loved & is missed greatly.
Thank you John for covering this case. Just devastating. Many hugs to Robin and her family.
Robin, my heart breaks for you and your family. You are not alone in keeping Andria’s story alive now 💗
All of my love from Ontario. I know that out west especially, indigenous communities are constantly struggling to get answers and justice for countless loved ones. My heart is with you, and I’m glad we can help you know that you are not alone. We care for your sister. Deeply. ❤️
Thank god for the likes of you and Danelle Hallen John. You both have raised the profile of MMIW via your platforms, and as a woman of a mixed race background, it's a subject close to my heart personally, and one that desperately needs addressing. I'm heartsore for Andria, Robin and the whole family. Such a terrible case. 💔
Thanks for covering this case Jon.
Thanks Robin for sharing Andria story, and thanks John for covering this case. My heart goes out to Andria's family, I hope you guys find some answers soon 🙏❤
I'm so sorry this has happened to your family, it makes me so sad to be Canadian and ashamed that we don't give Native Americans the support they need. It's scary enough being a woman but then you think how terrifying it is to be a Native American woman it's appalling. I really hope you get the closure you and your family needs this isn't okay.
When you said a missing person's case had only been filed FOUR YEARS later, I incredulously said, "What?!" out loud! But, oh, it's an Indigenous woman facing the RCMP.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Robin. Hope you find the answers soon. ❤
Although this isn't my town, it's a few hours away from here in Vancouver, and Vancouver being the largest city in the province we usually hear the news from the other major centres. It makes me mad that I haven't heard about this one.
It's also distressing, the innumerable people who have posted regarding other missing persons cases who say they have not heard of the case, when they are from the very same down!
Thank goodness for people like you, John!
In the last few months I've become more and more invested in and moved by these cases and it's because of the way that John weaves the actual family into the narrative which is so effective in bringing the missing to life as real people with real stories who are not just another statistic. Also very glad to see yet another appallingly-handled case of a missing indigenous woman being brought into focus. People are accountable for this careless attitude and should be judged accordingly. I hope Andria's family will eventually get some answers.
Oh my goodness, I am born and raised in Grande Prairie and have never even heard of this case !! I’ll be sharing with local pages !
So sad, I am so sorry for this families loss and what they’re going through. It’s been way too long and there’s a lot more people who care when we DO find out about stories and families like this. It’s just a shame that’s it had to take so long to get some coverage on this. I really hope some answers come for this family. My heart really really goes out to all of the family, I wish there was more I could do to help. 😞❤️🙌🏼
Thank you so much, we truly appreciate it 💕
Andria, I hope you’re out there and that you’re okay.
Thank you, Robin. You really gave us a wonderful picture of your sister's love and personality. And I hope Mr. Trudeau is questioned about this publicly. A plan can be outsourced and in-progress virtually.
The complete unconcern about the disappearance of indigenous women is horrifying. This abysmal treatment has to stop!! The family could have had help and this could have been solved if they hadn’t willfully disregarded her and treated her as a throwaway person. I am so sad and angry all at the same time!
Praying you find the answers. I hope your sister pops back up alive and well , like your mother did.
Heartbreaking case, I do believe this case was not looked into because of biased thoughts. The police dropped the ball on this case on so many levels. Hope the family gets the answers they deserve. 🙏
Thank you John for the wonderful work you have done in helping spread information about Andria's case. Your interview with Robyn helped in bringing out the real person that people know as Andria....not just a bunch of cut and pasted, potentially inaccurate, words from one publication to the next. It's obscene the difficulty Robyn experienced in having her sister reported as missing and so very sad that so many indigenous women (including here in Australia) are treated like they have lesser value and their rights are virtually ignored.
Robyn, you and your family should be proud for having the stamina and perseverance to stand up and fight for your sisters rights to be heard....while it must have felt like you were shouting into the wind. Good luck with getting some answers and healing for the family.
My heart is breaking Robin I so hope you learn something to help find Andria. A lot of us feel helpless because if I could help find Andria I would in a heartbeat. There are people in this evil world that care about you and Andria. Love and Hugs, Roni
Robin, my heart goes out to you and your family. I am so sorry for, not only the loss of your sister (as you said you believe her to be with the Creator now), but the horrific way you have been treated in your endeavors to find her. A big virtual hug to you, and sending you strength, love and light. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I care about you and your sister. May you feel her presence with you, watching over all of you, laughing with you and protecting you every day, in spirit.
Thank you I appreciate all the love and support 💕
Lordan.....you really are a good person!💜- and you are doing a good job!☺ Robin.....we are SO many who cares❤ I live in Norway....but I still care about you and your family in my heart❤ It's a shame how police deal with this!!!!! Andria❤
Thank you i truly appreciate it 💕
Thank you so much for bring awareness to my mothers case ❤
My prayers are with your family, I hope you know how many people truly care about you and your family and your Mom 🙏🙏
Hi Angelique, we hope it helps bring in some new tips and maybe brings your family the answers you've been waiting for for so long. I also appreciated hearing some stories about your mother and how your aunt lights up when remembering the good times. Take care.
THANK YOU MR JOHN FOR BRINGING UP CASES FROM CANADA, I DON’T KNOW WHY THE POLICE OR OTHER RESOURCES DON’T ASK TO THE PUBLIC FOR HELP. I LIVE IN KELOWNA AND THIS IS CLOSE TO HOME. BLESSINGS 🙏💙🇨🇦
This was a great video. To hear her laugh with memories of her sister is really heartwarming. I pray this family gets the answers they deserve. And I pray that Andrea is found for the whole family. This really just warmed my heart. 💜
John thank you for covering this case. I have lived most of my life in this area of northern British Columbia. This this is the first time I’ve heard of this case. Praying for answers for the family.
Thank you John for covering cases like this!
My heart goes out to Robin and her family. This is so sad and disturbing. I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Highway of Tears or not but many indigenous woman have been murdered or gone missing on that stretch of Highway in BC Canada for decades now. 😭😭😭 Thank you for the show and thanks to Robin for being here too. So sorry for your loss beautiful lady. I’m happy you came out the other side and are able to help others. I pray that someone calls in the tip you need to bring her to her resting place. Big hugs. 💔🌈🌺🙏
Thank you John for covering this case and shedding more light on the issue of MMIW here in Canada. It's heartbreaking that there are so many cases like Andria's and they don't get the attention they deserve.
Robin, my thoughts are with you and your family. I hope you get some answers soon.
I hate that saying... "Just get over it!" So mean...
That it takes so long to get a person declared missing infuriate me so much. And that it is because you have a sertain lifestile or etnicety they don't like because that is what it is. Most in the RCMP seems to be rasists and doesn't care and that is disgusting..Thanks Robin for sharing who Andrea is/was and how fun and what a incredible person she was. I hope she is found so you and all the other persons who love Adrian gets some peace and having a place to go to morn her. All my love to you and your family 💕 (sorry if I misspelled something English isn't my first language)
Oh gosh Robin, more people than you know care. I am so sorry you weren't heard for so long.
Robin, I am so sorry about what your family is going through. I am praying that you get new leads on your sister ❤
Thank you, John & Sarah. My heart breaks for the family losing Andria, her memories, and they still feel dismissed. They are cared about - Andria, the Maise family and friends. Robyn is incredible. Your being willing and doing this. Bravo. I wish you all resolution. Danielle, I am so sorry when describing your sister, you have such sadness. We all really appreciate your sharing some ultra sweet ones.
I remember once, when I was 18, my mother told me 'no matter where you go, what's going on in your life, and/or who you may or may not be angry with...stay in contact with at least one preferably two people. You never know when that me the last time. Don't leave people hanging.'
Robin and family & loved ones,
You are not alone!! I have personally never had a missing loved one, but I have struggled with my own substance use disorder and issues that come along with that terrible disease, as well as am a mother of three, and I cant imagine the grief endured by all of you. You are all in my loving thoughts and prayers and Im hoping with all my heart you get the answers you all deserve very soon! Thank you John for the video and all your hard hard work you do, I enjoy the content so very much!
I think they should do more follow up with that last boyfriend cuz that shouldn't be a dead in there unless something happened to her there
This story 💔💔💔😭😭😭 wow. Praying 🙏 they find out what happened to Andria & may God🙏 *bless & protect Andria's soul & loved ones always.*
We do care. Please know you are not alone. Many of us care and see all the First Nations woman who are abused and are missing. Please know I send your family prayers and hugs.
Robin, thank you for sharing Andria's story. I pray for peace and answers for your family, in Jesus' name.
Robin...please know that you and your precious family are in my prayers. Your sister sounds like a beautiful soul even despite her life's challenges. Many prayers....sending love and light your way!!!!❤
Robin my heart goes out to you and your family. I pray that a heavy weight of guilt gets put into the heart of the person, who can give you your sister back, the uncontrollable need to do so and that the weight will grow exponentially until they do. Love, prayers and best wishes sent your way.
I pray that Andria is found and brought back to her family and community.
I was born, raised and still live in not only a province with a high First Nations & Metis population, but city as well. I have First Nations in my family, family friends and neighbors that are both FN and Metis, my heart breaks when I see and hear racism, I have no patience for stereotypes.
Our neighborhood is a mix, we've been here 33+ years, wouldn't trade it for anything!
Prayers that the Creator surrounds Andria and her family.
i feel for robin. you can tell how much she loves and misses her sister. i loved hearing the stories she told. i can’t imagine what she’s been through these past years, not knowing what has happened to andria. thinking of andria and her family
Another story that is so tragic. Time and time again it’s mentioned in this type of scenario that there is a stigma whether real or imagined about missing persons who are drug users or in the sex industry. Unfortunately this leads to under the radar movements in general and it’s hard to retrace their actions because they don’t usually wear a sign identifying them. It still doesn’t negate the fact that we are talking about human beings who can come from any family. It only adds to the tough going in this case as in many others. My prayers are always with the victims and their families and these cases need an ending one way or the other.
Hi Robin. We care and ours thoughts are with you and your family. Warm wishes and hug sent your way. Thank you for all you do for others who are going through the same thing.
Would it be feasible to contact the Salvation Army's in BC and AB and put her picture up there? Since she was often there, it could lead to some tips.
YES, great idea
I know it's not much but I will be sharing this video on social media where I can ❤️
We're looking to get this video seen by the right person (or persons) and you never know which shares are going to be the ones to do it, so I appreciate every single one. Thank you so much Stephanie.
Years ago I moved to Canada to do volunteer work for an organization. As a American Indigenous person I was treated for the most part, with respect. Any bad encounters came from the older, White men who had no problem showing their disdain for me. Canada has a serious racial problem that they sweep under the rug and deny vehemently. They don't seem to understand that it's out in the Public Domain now and can no longer be hidden. The "good" reputation Canada has enjoyed is being destroyed from within, by themselves. Face up to it Canada before it's too late.
Dear Robin. I had to laugh at your description of Andria and the fish. I can relate. On my first fishing trip I caught a large frog and screamed. I never went fishing again ever. You obviously love Andria so much and it shows. Wherever she is, she knows she is loved.
my heart breaks for her and her family. so hard not getting investigative help for a few years later.
We care and you are not alone!
So so sorry Robin and her family are going through this. I would be so devastated if something happened to my big sis. And not knowing after all these years? I can’t even imagine. I hope she get answers soon!! I believe 💕🤞🏽 Sending love and hope from Victoria BC.
Crimes against native women is an issue all over in my opinion. I live in Arizona and see how little coverage that missing native women get. And women in the sex worker industry also get passed by a lot. For Andria to have been apart of both, it's sad how they treated this case. If they had even done something a month after she left I feel like they would know more. But to neglect her for so long after her siblings made several attempts is just upsetting.
Thanks John❤🙏👍
Canadian fan here, I’ve never heard of this case. That fact alone is horrible. It’s time for Indigenous women (and all women) to feel safe in their own country.
