Hey there, time traveller!

A concerned father is hoping to cast a larger net in an attempt to connect with his daughter, who has been missing since April.
Mekayla Bali, was last seen at the STC Bus Depot in Yorkton, Sask., on April 12 at 1:45 p.m., according to her father, Rick Breit.
Police said there is no indication of foul play; however, they are hoping to speak to Bail to confirm her safety.
After more than 100 interviews and more than 30 police agencies being involved, RCMP still haven’t been able to track down the 17-year-old girl.
Police escalated the search for Bali and issued a Child Search Alert for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia after new information surfaced regarding an unknown man who may have information about her actions the last day she was seen.
“This unknown male has a tattoo below his left elbow of a cross with flames around it,” an RCMP release states. “This individual is not a suspect — investigators simply wish to identify this individual and speak with him to assist with efforts to locate Mekayla.”
Police described the man as between 40 to 50 years old, five-foot-10 to six-foot-two with a stocky, medium build and muscular arms. He had dark hair and was wearing a dark navy vest jacket with an elastic waist band in the back. He had a scar or scratch below his left eye on his cheek.
Police said that after speaking with employees at the bus depot, they don’t believe Bali got on a bus on April 12.
In July, Bali’s mother gave an emotional plea to try to connect with her daughter.
“I feel that I have failed you in my most important role of life as your mother, because I can’t protect you now,” Paula Bali told the Regina Leader-Post as she choked back tears on July 8.
“We want you to know that you are not in trouble — we are worried about you. We love you to the moon and back, and that will never change.”
Police ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
