A 28-year-old raver vanished from an electronic music festival in Canada shortly after her friends allegedly left her behind, the woman’s family claims.
Kayla Boisvert of Ontario was last seen at the four-day Shambhala Music Festival at around 2:15 a.m. Monday, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police revealed Tuesday.
The woman — who works as an event paramedic — posted a photo of her posing with a pal on Threads before her puzzling disappearance from the famous EDM festival in Salmo, British Columbia, which ran from July 24-27.
“Finally made the trip out to BC to rave with this gem,” the post reads.
The partygoer traveled to the festival from Trenton, Ontario, according to her Facebook profile.
Her brother, Ethan Boisvert, told The Post, that she only went missing after friends ditched her at the event.
“Her friends left her,” Ethan Boisvert claimed. “Her ride that was supposed to take her to the airport, they just left without her.”
Meanwhile, her twin sister, Dianna Boisvert, told CBC News that she received two calls from her shortly after she was last spotted Monday.
“I was sleeping and called her back instantly when I realized that she called,” Dianna Boisvert said in a statement to the outlet — but Kayla’s cell phone went straight to voicemail, she added.
