During the evening of November 28, 2012, VicPD was contacted about a woman acting in an unusual manner in front of the Empress Hotel. Officers located Emma Fillipoff and spoke at length with her. After ensuring her well-being, Emma was allowed to continue on her way. A few hours later Emma was reported as missing and has not been heard from or seen since.
