Acting Sgt. Brian Montague says it’s believed Delilah Felton was taken from her guardian’s home by her mother, 46-year-old Angela Hanley.

Montague says Hanley is known to police, leads what he describes as a high-risk lifestyle, has no fixed address and has never had custody of her daughter.

According to police, Hanley does not have the skills to care for a four-year-old.

The pair are likely travelling by bus or other types of public transportation but are not believed to have left the Metro Vancouver area and Montague says investigators are in contact with as many people as possible who may know Hanley.

Hanley is described as Caucasian, about five-foot-six, 139 pounds with red hair and blue eyes while Delilah also has red hair and was last seen wearing a colourful, mostly red, flowered rain jacket, a black shirt with writing on the front and black leggings with grey stripes.
