A Burnaby mother who disappeared last Tuesday night has been found.

A Burnaby mother who disappeared last Tuesday night has been found.

New Westminster police spotted 30-year-old Susan Mitchell shortly after Burnaby RCMP announced they'd found video footage of Mitchell at a TD Bank on Kingsway on July 3, less than 24 hours after she went missing.

Mitchell disappeared July 2 after tucking her two young children into bed at their Willingdon Avenue apartment. RCMP were alerted the next morning and deemed her disappearance "high risk."

According to the RCMP, Mitchell was found in New Westminster on July 4; about 90 minutes after Burnaby Staff Sgt. Steve Crawford held a press conference urging Mitchell to come home.

Crawford couldn't say why Mitchell went missing, but according to Burnaby RCMP the case is now closed.
