An Edmonton girl fought for her life, fearing she was being abducted to be trafficked — but it turns out her would-be captors were Edmonton Police Service officers who mistook her for the suspect in a nearby domestic violence call.

Haylie Nahamko-White had just gotten off work on Monday, Nov. 13. She was walking towards Londonderry Mall in north Edmonton, and about to cross 137th Avenue at 68th Street to meet her boyfriend.

It was 10:30 p.m., pitch dark outside. She was on the phone with her partner, who was parked across the street.

“I had an unmarked SUV pull up to me and they said they were police. I didn’t see any logos or nothing. They didn’t turn on their lights at all,” Nahamko-White said Thursday.

The 17-year-old said a man in the vehicle told her if she fled, he would deploy his taser on her. She panicked and ran.

  1. So in our sick, perverted society, it would stand to reason a young woman would fear for her life. No uniforms. Unmarked vehicle. Ya, I'd run too. Thats 50 shades of wrong right there. I hope they get sued, that stuff right there is why people , like me, who once respected police, no longer do. She will be traumatized for a very long time. " Sorry, wrong person. Sorry we chased you, arrested you, smashed your face in the ground because YOU mistook us for predators…because we weren't in uniform and had an unmarked vehicle. My bad".

  2. Policing has changed. Teaching your kids to trust them is correct thing to do. Almost feels like today you have to warn them about bad apples. Lazy apples.

  3. famous Hope Mission building Edmonton on August 6 2023, I was told if I go inside the building I might not wake up because of the possibility that I could get killed while asleep, I got robbed and brutally bloody beaten twice by two different large groups of violent people, they’d electrified me, bear sprayed my eyes, burnt my hair, punches and kicked like it was my last moment to live, “It felt HELL,” walking home with bloody face and black eyes and bruises, my eyes bled and skin were in a extreme burning sensation because of the bear spray, I walked in the downtown Edmonton full of blood all over my face and body, my jaw was uneven because of the impact when I was being kicked on the ground: and all that was reported to the police. “I THANK YOU HOPE MISSION.” I am traumatized.

    Why until now drug addiction, homelessness, crime, violence, deaths and hate still reigns in our society? Drug addicts transparently uses illegal drugs in public parks and streets, carrying weapons and intoxicated and fresh blood on the streets.

    Drug addicts want cure! Our society need to be cure! Nobody wants to be captive of drug addiction and develop mental illness we all wants healthy and happy lives and environment, I suggest love others first before loving yourself.

    Many people are struggling but there are many more people who are dealing with most hardship situations like, mental illness, homelessness, addiction and other more serious illnesses that cause death.

    We can always help, not only with money but to advocate, give advices, helping hand, find solutions to the problems of our society and ask the government for help by taking their attention. Be a good Samaritan.

    There are many people who live in our world who aren’t acting like a human, immigrants are leaving, even aliens are leaving and only politicians, Zombies, drug addicts, violence, crime, hate, cruelty, war and homeless reigns.

    Where are the law and orders? Were is the morality? Where is the Democracy? Where is the power of the goodness and where is your faith in our Lord God?
