'I'm not a fugitive': Alberta woman on the lam in B.C. says she didn't plan escape

Mackenzie Dawn Hardy, 24, was unexpectedly freed from a correctional facility in Fort Saskatchewan on April 25, 2025, and is currently evading authorities in British Columbia.
Her release occurred after an anonymous person submitted forged documents falsely stating her charges were stayed, a situation Hardy was unaware of until a week later.
Hardy had remained in custody since March as she awaited a bail hearing on multiple allegations such as stolen property possession, impaired driving, fleeing from law enforcement, and other charges.
Hardy said, "I’m not trying to be a fugitive" and explained she is spending time with her terminally ill boyfriend while police continue to seek her arrest.
The Red Deer and Kelowna RCMP confirmed Hardy is wanted and that investigation continues, while she expresses frustration over media portrayal and believes she will be found not guilty.
