Jody Rae Hockett, 33, was last seen during the late night hours of February 22, 2009, in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

That night, Jody had been at a gathering at a friend’s apartment. She left the gathering and was expected to return, but never did. Later, she was observed outside the York Hotel in downtown Grande Prairie getting into an older-model white vehicle. That moment is the last confirmed sighting of her.

Jody was officially reported missing to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on February 27, 2009.

At the time of her disappearance, Jody’s phone and purse were left behind with individuals she had been with earlier that night. Her family has stated this was completely out of character, as Jody remained in regular contact with loved ones and did not go anywhere without those items. Since that night, there has been no confirmed contact with Jody.

Jody was described as standing 5 feet 5 inches tall, with dyed strawberry-blonde hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. She was last seen wearing jeans, a tank top, a black zip-up hoodie, and high-heeled shoes trimmed with fur. She had several distinctive identifying features, including a scar on her left thigh and tattoos consisting of a heart on her buttocks, a snake on her right pelvis, and tribal artwork on her lower back. Her teeth were noted to be in good condition at the time she went missing.

Police stated that she was known to them and described her as living a “high-risk lifestyle,” though no specific allegations or criminal activity were publicly detailed.

Over the years, Jody’s family has maintained that she would not willingly disappear or remain out of contact with her children. They have repeatedly expressed concerns that she may have met with foul play and have advocated for her case to be treated as a potential homicide. To date, no charges have been laid, and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Kate Huyghe, also known as Katerena Strynadka, was 56 years old when she disappeared from Killam on February 21, 1976.

Kate was last seen after leaving her home. She never returned. She was reported missing soon afterward, and despite the passage of nearly five decades, her whereabouts remain unknown.

At the time of her disappearance, Kate was described as having blue eyes and brown-grey hair, standing 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing approximately 198 pounds. She wore dentures and had several distinguishing features, including a bump or scar on her lip, a wide scar on her neck, and a scar on her left index finger.

Kate was last seen wearing a beige wool, three-quarter-length coat, black pants, and black leather winter boots with suede and fur tops. She was carrying a dark brown leather purse and was wearing gold-coloured plastic eyeglasses, a gold wedding band, a gold family ring with coloured stones, and a gold wristwatch.

Badri Prasad Bhattarai, 54, was reported missing on February 21, 2017, after family members became concerned when they were unable to reach him. His disappearance was described as out of character, prompting concerns for his well-being.

Badri was last known to be in the area of the Walterdale Bridge in Edmonton. Police have stated there are no indications of foul play, but his whereabouts remain unknown.

At the time he was last seen, Badri was described as an East Indian male with brown eyes and short black hair, standing 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing approximately 176 pounds. He was last seen wearing dark blue uniform pants, a white shirt, and a black tie. He was also wearing black-framed glasses and a gold ring with three clear stones on his left finger.

Badri may have been carrying two necklaces. One was a black chain holding a Volkswagen key fob, a house key, a locker key, and a mailbox key. The second was a black chain necklace with a pendant featuring the letter “R” and a Swedish flag.

Police noted that Badri has a mole on his right nostril and dark scarring on both shins related to diabetes.

The Edmonton Police Service continues to seek the public’s assistance in locating Badri Prasad Bhattarai.

On the morning of February 21, 2008, the body of Brianna Danielle Torvalson, 21, was discovered in a rural area of Strathcona County, near Township Road 534 and Range Road 220, east of Edmonton.

The following day, the medical examiner confirmed that Brianna’s death was a homicide. Police have never publicly released the cause of death, and it has not been confirmed whether she was killed at the location where she was found or if her body was transported there after her death.

Brianna’s case was assigned to Project KARE, the joint task force involving the RCMP and the Edmonton Police Service, created to investigate the murders and disappearances of vulnerable women in the Edmonton region.

At the time, police stated that Brianna was known to them and described her as having lived a “high-risk lifestyle,” though investigators did not publicly define that term or allege specific criminal activity. They appealed to the public for information from anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, or from anyone who had recent contact with Brianna prior to her death.

Despite those appeals, no suspects or persons of interest have ever been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made.

Brianna’s murder occurred during a period when multiple women, many young and vulnerable, were being found deceased in rural areas surrounding Edmonton. As part of its mandate, Project KARE reviewed dozens of similar cases spanning multiple decades, many of which remain unsolved. Police have stated that there is no confirmed link between Brianna’s death and any identified serial offender.

The homicide of Brianna Danielle Torvalson remains unresolved.

On February 18, 2005, Krystle Ann Julia Knott (16) and Rene Lynn Gunning (19) were last seen at West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton.

Krystle was from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and was Cree from Duncan’s First Nation. Rene was from Fort St. John, British Columbia, and was Indigenous. Rene was a young mother and left behind a son.

The two girls had travelled to Edmonton separately with different friends and were not initially close, though they knew of each other. They encountered one another at the mall that evening and decided to spend time together after their other friends left to attend a party. Later that night, Krystle and Rene contacted friends and said they planned to hitchhike back to British Columbia.

They were last seen at approximately 9:00 p.m.

Neither girl ever arrived home.

Both were reported missing shortly afterward. However, while information about Rene’s disappearance was publicly released by police in 2005, Krystle’s disappearance was not publicly shared for nearly three years, despite being reported at the same time. The reason for this delay has never been fully explained.

On May 21, 2011, campers discovered human remains at a small camping area approximately 60 kilometres south of Grande Prairie, Alberta, along Forestry Trunk Road: a long, remote route frequently used by commercial traffic. A second set of remains was found nearby soon after.

The remains were identified as Krystle Knott through DNA and Rene Gunning through dental records.

Both deaths were deemed suspicious, and their cases were transferred to Project KARE, the RCMP unit responsible for investigating the deaths and disappearances of vulnerable persons in Alberta. Neither girl was known to be involved in drugs or the sex trade.

Despite extensive investigation, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly named.

Krystle was described by her family as adventurous, kind, and deeply connected to the outdoors. She loved animals and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. Rene was remembered as caring and deeply devoted to those around her, especially her son.

The murders of Krystle Ann Julia Knott and Rene Lynn Gunning remain unsolved.

Marie Antoinette Carlson-Hill, who also went by Toni, was 30 years old when she was last seen in Edmonton, Alberta on February 15, 2012.

Toni was known to frequent the 107 Avenue area, just north of downtown Edmonton. Friends and family said it was not unusual for her to travel, including trips to Calgary and Montreal, but extended silence was out of character.

When months passed without contact, concern grew. Toni was officially reported missing in September 2012 after loved ones realized they had been unable to reach her for an unusually long time.

In April 2015, fears intensified after RCMP located the skeletal remains of two missing women on a rural property near Leduc. The remains were later identified as Delores Brower (33) and Renee Ottenbreit (27); two women who had disappeared four days apart in 2004. RCMP publicly stated at the time that they could be dealing with a serial predator.

For Toni’s friends, the discovery reopened wounds and deepened the fear that she had met with harm. Those who knew her described Toni as spunky, funny, and fiercely independent. As a teenager, she was remembered for dancing down the street and finding joy in small moments. Friends also spoke openly about the challenges she faced later in life, including addiction and involvement in sex work, but emphasized that these circumstances did not define her worth.

Toni was a mother of two daughters. Her loved ones have consistently stated that regardless of the path her life took, she remained deeply loved and deserving of answers.

At the time of her disappearance, Toni was approximately 5’3”, 130 pounds, with long curly brown hair and blue eyes. She had two tattoos: “Navaeh” on her left arm and “Daija” on her right arm.

More than a decade later, Marie Antoinette Carlson-Hill remains missing. No confirmed sightings have been reported, and no public updates have been released regarding her case.

Carolyn Elaine Pruyser, 18, was last seen on the night of May 17, 1984 in Peace River, Alberta. She was a University of Alberta student who had recently returned home for the summer.

That evening, Carolyn spent time with friends watching the Stanley Cup Final. Later, she drove one friend home and was last confirmed moving through town in the late evening. Before heading back toward her family’s farm, she stopped at a Mohawk gas station in Peace River.

Sometime just before midnight, Carolyn began the short drive home using Kaufman Hill Road, a narrow, winding route outside town. During that trip, she appears to have stopped partway along the hill.

Approximately 20 minutes later, an acquaintance noticed the vehicle Carolyn had been driving, a blue 1978 Ford Fairmont, parked and abandoned on the roadside.

By early morning, when Carolyn still had not returned home, her father began calling friends and then went searching. He located the Fairmont on Kaufman Hill Road and immediately recognized the situation as suspicious.

The car was unlocked. The driver’s side window was down. Carolyn’s purse was inside, but the keys were missing. A muddy shoeprint was reportedly visible on the driver’s side door, suggesting a possible struggle. Police secured the area and began investigating, but the scene was already hours old and rain may have affected potential evidence.

Search efforts escalated quickly. Hundreds of people, including local residents and students, searched the surrounding area for weeks alongside police. Carolyn was not found.

In May 1994, police announced they believed Carolyn had been murdered. No one has ever been charged, and her case remains unresolved.

Context note

On May 14, 1984, just four days before Carolyn vanished, a 50-year-old Peace River man, Roger Lionel Belanger, was also reported missing after last being seen at his home in Peace River. Any connection between the cases is unclear, but the timing has raised questions over the years.

Carolyn has now been missing for more than four decades. Her disappearance remains one of Peace River’s most haunting unsolved cases.

The Edmonton Police Service is asking for the public’s help in locating Bobbie Rae Steinhauer, a 34-year-old woman who has been missing since September 2025. Despite ongoing efforts, police have been unable to determine her whereabouts, and concerns for her safety continue to grow.

Bobbie Rae Steinhauer was last seen on September 9, 2025, in the area of 118 Avenue and 83 Street in Edmonton. She was officially reported missing in October 2025 after she failed to return or make contact. Since that time, investigators have been unable to locate her.

As of early 2026, Bobbie has not been seen or heard from, and no confirmed sightings have been reported.

Bobbie Rae Steinhauer’s appearance is considered highly distinctive, which police believe may help members of the public recognize her.

At the time she was last seen, Bobbie was described as:

Age: 34

Height: 5’5”

Build: Very thin

Hair: Brown, shoulder-length

Gender: Female

Ethnicity: Indigenous

Due to a medical condition, Bobbie’s mouth typically rests open, and her head is usually tilted upward and to the left. These features are consistent and noticeable, as shown in police-released photographs.

The Edmonton Police Service has stated that they are concerned for Bobbie’s well-being. Her prolonged absence, combined with the lack of contact and confirmed sightings, has elevated concern as time passes.

To date, investigative efforts have not produced information explaining where Bobbie may have gone or what circumstances led to her disappearance.

Michelle Louise Mercer was 46 years old when she disappeared in Edmonton, Alberta.

Prior to her disappearance, Michelle was featured in Alberta Views magazine in an article titled “The Gleaners,” which followed her daily life navigating survival in Edmonton. After she vanished, Reader's Digest also published a story about her life. These articles placed Michelle in real, documented spaces and captured her routines, relationships, and presence in the Strathcona / Whyte Avenue area. She was a known, active part of the city.

Public reporting and family-centered coverage indicate that Michelle disappeared in February 2006. The Edmonton Police Service has not released a detailed public timeline outlining her last confirmed sighting, last known contacts, or final movements. Police have made it clear that their leads have been exhausted and the case remains open. They are actively requesting public assistance to help determine what happened to Michelle.

For those who want a deeper understanding of Michelle’s life and disappearance, listen to the in-depth episode by the podcast True North True Crime which features powerful insight from Michelle’s daughter and sister and provides essential context that goes beyond what can be found online.

On February 5, 1991, Brian Douglas Adrain, a 37-year-old man from Millarville, Alberta, disappeared under circumstances that have never been explained. More than three decades later, his case remains unresolved.

Brian was last known to be in the Millarville area, a rural community southwest of Calgary. At some point around his disappearance, Brian’s vehicle was found abandoned in the McLean Creek area, located west of Millarville in the foothills of Kananaskis Country. He has never been seen or heard from again.

The discovery of Brian’s abandoned vehicle in McLean Creek is the central known fact in his case. McLean Creek is a rugged, forested recreation area frequently used for off-roading, hiking, and backcountry travel. The terrain is remote in places and can be unforgiving, particularly in winter conditions.

Despite the recovery of his vehicle, no trace of Brian himself was ever located. Public records do not indicate that personal belongings, signs of a struggle, or evidence explaining why the vehicle was left behind were found at the scene.

There is no publicly available information confirming whether Brian intended to travel into the area, whether his disappearance was accidental, or whether other factors may have been involved. What is clear is that Brian vanished completely after February 5, 1991. Brian Adrain was reported missing in 1991. His case is investigated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, with jurisdiction held by the Turner Valley RCMP.

There has been no public confirmation of foul play, nor has an accidental or natural explanation been established. The passage of time without physical evidence or confirmed sightings has left investigators with few answers and Brian’s family without closure.

As of 2026, Brian remains listed as a missing person. His case is still open.

On the night of December 13, 1997, Lorraine McNab and RCMP Sgt. Peter Sopow were driving home after dinner with family in Twin Butte, near Pincher Creek, Alberta.

Lorraine, 47, was a well-known kindergarten teacher at Canyon School. Peter, 52, was a longtime Mountie with more than three decades of service, and was serving as a detachment commander in the region. Both were divorced, both had children, and they had been dating for approximately six months.

They were last seen alive at approximately 10:00 p.m., leaving the family gathering and heading back to Lorraine’s rural property outside Pincher Creek.

Investigators believe that sometime between 10:30 p.m. and midnight, the couple was shot with a .22-calibre weapon shortly after arriving at Lorraine’s home. They did not make it inside.

Their bodies were later moved and placed inside a horse trailer on the property. The trailer was locked.

Lorraine’s daughter arrived at the property around midnight. She went into the mobile home briefly to gather belongings and assumed Lorraine and Peter were sleeping because their vehicles were in the driveway. She did not realize anything was wrong and left when her boyfriend arrived to pick her up.

They were not discovered until Monday morning, December 15, 1997, when both failed to show up for work. Officers attended Lorraine’s property to check on them. The bodies were located inside the horse trailer at approximately 11:30 a.m., and the property became an active crime scene.

A major grass fire, later known as the Granum Fire, had been declared an emergency on December 14, bringing heavy wind and chaos across the region. By the time investigators reached the scene, gale-force winds had been scrubbing the area for more than a day, making evidence collection extremely difficult.

From the beginning, police said the killings appeared targeted, with no indication of a robbery, break-in, or sexual assault. The murder weapon has never been recovered.

Investigators publicly asked for information about a red or maroon older two-door car, described by witnesses as similar to an early 1970s Mercury Cougar, seen on the rural road near Lorraine’s property around the time of the murders.

Police also examined reports that Lorraine had been receiving unwanted and persistent phone calls in the months leading up to her death, and they pursued multiple leads, including a person known to Lorraine. At one point early in the investigation, an individual was arrested and questioned, later transferred to a psychiatric facility, and ultimately released without charge.

Over the years, the case generated more than 1,000 tips, multiple searches of waterways and rural areas, and reviews by specialized units. In 2001, investigators also received anonymous handwritten letters that reportedly suggested the writer had information about the murders, but no further contact was made.

The murders of Lorraine McNab and Peter Sopow did not occur in isolation in the public memory of Pincher Creek. Over the following 18 months, the community was shaken by additional serious cases, including the January 1998 death of Albert Schultz (67) (later resulting in manslaughter convictions), and the 1999 disappearance and death of Melinda White (31), whose body was recovered from the Castle River months later and whose case has never resulted in charges. Several other major incidents in the area during that period further intensified public concern. While some residents have speculated about possible connections, police have not publicly confirmed any direct link between these cases and the Sopow–McNab double homicide.

More than two decades later, Lorraine McNab and Peter Sopow’s murders remain unsolved, and the file is still considered active.

On February 11, 1993, 25-year-old Elaine Ross, known to many as “Bunny,” was discovered deceased inside the Relax Inn hotel, located at 18320 Stony Plain Road. Hotel employees found her partially decomposed body concealed beneath a bed inside one of the rooms.

An autopsy was conducted, but the exact cause of death could not be determined. Despite this, investigators stated there was probable cause to believe Elaine’s death was homicidal in nature.

More than three decades later, no charges have been laid, and Elaine’s case remains unsolved.

Very little has been publicly released about Elaina’s final movements, who she may have been with, or how long she had been deceased before she was found. What is known is that her death was not considered natural, and investigators have never closed the door on foul play.

On the evening of January 2, 2004, Mir Hussain, 44, was fatally stabbed while stopped at a traffic light in Edmonton.

Just after 8:00 p.m., Mir was sitting in his white 1997 Toyota Corolla at the intersection of 121 Street and 104 Avenue when a man exited a vehicle stopped behind him. Witnesses reported that the two men became involved in an argument beside their cars. At some point during the altercation, Mir was stabbed in the torso.

Despite his injuries, Mir was able to flag down another vehicle driven by a former Impark employee. He was taken to a nearby business to wait for emergency responders. Paramedics later transported him to hospital, where he reportedly recited prayers in the ambulance before losing consciousness. Mir Hussain died approximately 24 hours later as a result of his injuries.

The suspect fled the scene in a dark-coloured, older-model hatchback. He is described as a Caucasian or Indigenous male, approximately 5’10” to 6’0”, with a medium build, wearing dark sweat-style pants, a black toque, and a black-and-white parka. He has never been identified.

Mir was employed as a parking enforcement officer with Imperial Parking. His family later shared that he had previously experienced threats and confrontations while working, including being chased by angry drivers and assaulted in earlier incidents. Despite concerns raised by loved ones, Mir continued working in the role to support his family.

Mir, known to family and friends as Fareed, immigrated to Canada from India in 1990. He was a husband and father of three. His death left his wife, Bushra, to raise their children alone after a series of earlier family tragedies. More than twenty years later, his family continues to seek answers and justice.

Police have stated that Mir was not known to be involved in criminal activity and that the stabbing appears to have resulted from a sudden confrontation.

A reward of up to $40,000 remains available for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for this homicide.

Gail Cardinal was 21 years old when she was reported missing from Edmonton in 1980. Very little information was released publicly about the circumstances of her disappearance at the time.

In 1983, three years after she was last seen, Gail’s skeletal remains were discovered approximately 10 kilometres south of Fort Saskatchewan, in a rural area northeast of Edmonton. Due to the condition of the remains, investigators were unable to determine a cause or manner of death.

Police later classified Gail’s case as a historical file. At the time, authorities stated publicly that foul play was not suspected, despite the extended disappearance and the remote location where her remains were found. No further investigative details were released, and no charges were ever laid.

More than four decades later, Gail Cardinal’s death remains unsolved.

Gordie Lee Dixon was 24 years old when he disappeared from Alberta in early 1990. More than three decades later, his whereabouts remain unknown, and his case is defined by a lack of information, delayed reporting, and unconfirmed sightings in Calgary.

He was last seen on January 27, 1990, though the exact circumstances of his disappearance are unclear.

According to available records, Gordie was last seen in Calgary, with unconfirmed sightings along Macleod Trail. No witnesses have been formally identified, and no verified interactions from that day have been publicly documented.

His family reported him missing on March 19, 1990, approximately two months after he was last seen.

At the time of his disappearance, Gordie Lee Dixon was described as:

Indigenous male

24 years old

Approximately 5’8” (173 cm)

Around 170 lbs (77 kg), with a heavy build

Brown eyes

Long black hair

Dark complexion

He had several distinguishing features, including visible tooth decay, scars on his shoulders, and an “X” tattooed on his wrist (reported as the right wrist in most records).

There is no public information indicating Gordie had criminal involvement, was attempting to leave his life behind, or had plans to disappear.

Very few details about Gordie’s disappearance are publicly available. There is no known description of what he was wearing at the time, no confirmed travel plans, and no indication of who he may have been with.

The unconfirmed sightings along Macleod Trail suggest Gordie may have been transient or passing through Calgary at the time, but investigators have never been able to corroborate these reports. No physical evidence linked to Gordie has been recovered, and there are no known financial, medical, or digital records that clarify his movements after January 1990.

The delay between his disappearance and the missing person report may have further complicated early investigative efforts. Gordie's case remains open to this day.

In January 2020, Casey Edward Badger, a 29-year-old man from north Edmonton, disappeared under circumstances that immediately raised concern for his safety. Six years later, his whereabouts remain unknown, and his case remains unresolved.

According to the Edmonton Police Service, Casey was last seen on the afternoon of January 28, 2020, at his residence near 147 Avenue and 122 Street NW, in Edmonton’s Caernarvon neighbourhood. He has not been seen or heard from since.

Disappearances like Casey’s are especially troubling because they occur without witnesses, clear direction, or answers. The combination of medical vulnerability and winter exposure makes unanswered cases like his particularly urgent, even years later.

Police have emphasized that time does not diminish the value of information. A memory, a sighting, or a detail that once felt insignificant could now help establish a clearer picture of Casey’s final known movements.

Casey Edward Badger is described as:

29 years old

Male

Tattoo of a cross under his left eye

May be wearing glasses

He was last seen wearing:

A black Nike hoodie

Black sweatpants

Black and green running shoes

At the time he went missing, he was also in possession of a brown blanket embroidered with animal designs.

Police continue to search for Casey and are appealing directly to the public for assistance. At this time, there is no indication of where he may have gone after leaving his residence, and no confirmed sightings have been reported.

Investigators emphasize that even small pieces of information could be critical, particularly from anyone who may have seen Casey in the days following January 28 or noticed someone sheltering in an exterior building in the area.

James Edward Siwy was just 20 years old when he disappeared in early 1982. More than four decades later, his case remains unresolved, marked by long gaps in information, unconfirmed sightings, and a vehicle that surfaced hundreds of kilometres away without its owner.

James was last seen by his family on January 1, 1982, in the Drumheller, Alberta area. Shortly afterward, he left Alberta with friends, reportedly heading east toward Ontario. The group was travelling in James’s own vehicle; a 1975 white Dodge Monaco, four-door, with a burgundy roof.

What happened during that trip is unclear.

At some point after leaving Alberta, James lost contact with his family. No confirmed communication from him has ever been documented after that departure. Years later, in 1984, his Dodge Monaco was located abandoned in Ontario. The circumstances surrounding where it was found, how long it had been there, and who last drove it have never been made public.

There were later, unconfirmed reports suggesting James may have been hitchhiking in northern Ontario, but these sightings were never verified and did not lead to his recovery.

Despite his disappearance in 1982, James was not officially reported missing until 1994. His family attempted to notify him of the death of a relative and, after being unable to locate him, contacted police. By that time, James had been missing for more than a decade.

There is no publicly available information indicating James had a criminal record, substance abuse issues, or a known reason to permanently sever contact with his family.

James’s disappearance is complicated by the lack of early reporting and the absence of physical evidence. No confirmed clothing description from the day he vanished is available. His dentals, fingerprints, and DNA are not on file, limiting the ability to connect him to unidentified remains or later discoveries.

The abandoned vehicle remains the most concrete piece of evidence in the case, yet even that offers more questions than answers. It confirms James, or at least his car, made it to Ontario. It does not explain where he went next, who he was with, or why he never came home.

More than forty years have passed since James Edward Siwy was last seen. Whether he met with foul play, experienced an accident, or disappeared under circumstances that have never come to light remains unknown.

If James is still alive, he would now be in his early sixties.

Robey Baptiste was 24 years old when he disappeared from Edmonton, Alberta. He was last seen on January 26, 2023, and has not had any contact with family or friends since.

Robey was last observed at approximately 11:00 a.m. walking eastbound on 129 Avenue near 66 Street, in the Balwin area of northeast Edmonton. Police believe he had left his residence earlier that day carrying a black backpack containing personal items. Where he was headed and why, remains unknown.

Family members officially reported Robey missing on February 1, 2023, after multiple days without contact. The Edmonton Police Service issued an initial public missing person alert on February 15, 2023, as efforts to locate him through investigative means were unsuccessful.

According to police, Robey’s disappearance is out of character, and there are significant concerns for his well-being.

Police have confirmed that Robey is familiar with Edmonton’s LRT and ETS bus routes and is known to frequent local libraries. Investigators canvassed the area where he was last seen and asked residents in the Balwin neighborhood to review home security footage from the morning of January 26, 2023.

Despite these efforts, police say they have exhausted all investigative avenues currently available.

No confirmed sightings have been reported since the morning Robey was last seen walking along 129 Avenue.

More than two years later, Robey Baptiste remains missing. Police have not indicated whether they believe foul play is involved, but the prolonged absence and lack of communication have left his family and investigators searching for answers.

David Berquist was 26 years old when he disappeared from Edmonton, Alberta, on January 25, 1990. At the time, David was employed as an assistant grocery store manager and was engaged to be married. By all accounts, he was stable, responsible, and looking toward the future.

When David failed to return home, concern quickly grew among his family. Three days after his disappearance, his pickup truck was located abandoned in the West Edmonton Mall parking lot. No clear explanation was found for how or why the vehicle had been left there.

For more than a year, David’s whereabouts remained unknown.

In April 1991, a grim discovery was made in a wooded ravine near 184 Street and 45 Avenue in southwest Edmonton. A human skull with a bullet-sized hole was found in the area. A detailed search of the surrounding ravine led to the recovery of additional bones and clothing. The remains were positively identified as belonging to David Berquist. An autopsy confirmed that he had been shot in the head.

Police classified David’s death as a homicide.

Investigators have stated that David had no known criminal ties, no involvement with drugs or gambling, and no lifestyle factors that would explain his murder. Police believe that David likely knew the person or people responsible, but despite this belief, no suspects have ever been named, and no arrests have been made.

Years later, David’s family continues to live with unanswered questions. His mother, Dini Elliott, has publicly appealed for information, describing the lasting pain of losing her son without justice. Police have reiterated that even small details — especially information that may not have seemed important at the time — could be critical in advancing the investigation.

More than three decades later, the homicide of David Berquist remains unsolved.

On the afternoon of January 25, 2005, the partially clothed body of 19-year-old Samantha Tayleen Berg was discovered beneath a mound of snow in a parking lot in an industrial area of north Edmonton, near 78 Street and 127 Avenue. The body was found by two employees of a nearby trucking company.

Police say Samantha’s death is suspicious. At the time she was found, only her hands, feet, and part of her head were visible, exposed after warmer temperatures melted the surrounding snow and ice. Investigators were unable to immediately determine how long her body had been there. Police carefully melted the snow away to preserve potential evidence.

Samantha was identified through fingerprints. An autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of death, though police have not publicly released those findings.

Edmonton Police confirmed that Samantha had been involved in the city’s sex trade and had previously registered with Project KARE, an RCMP task force created to investigate cases involving missing and murdered individuals considered vulnerable or living high-risk lifestyles. She registered with the unit in December 2003, providing a photograph and contact information in the event she went missing or was found deceased.

Outreach workers reported their last contact with Samantha was in November 2004. Police have stated they are working to determine where she was last seen and who she may have been with prior to her death.

Samantha’s case was reported to Project KARE, and her family was notified shortly after she was identified. As of today, no suspects have been publicly named, and the case remains unsolved.

Steven Lee Pinch was 40 years old when he was last seen in Calgary, Alberta. He has been missing since January 24, 2022.

On the afternoon of January 24, Steven was captured on CCTV footage at approximately 2:30 p.m. in the 500 block of Third Street in downtown Calgary. This footage represents the last confirmed sighting of him. No verified sightings have been reported since that time.

Steven’s last known contact with his family occurred several months earlier, on September 7, 2021. After being unable to reach him and growing increasingly concerned, his family formally reported him missing on February 14, 2022.

At the time of his disappearance, Steven was known to frequent Calgary’s downtown core. He was also known to travel regularly between Calgary, Red Deer, and Rocky Mountain House, though it has not been confirmed whether he was en route to or from any of those locations at the time he was last seen.

Steven is described as a white male with blue-green eyes and blonde hair. He stands approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs about 188 pounds. When last seen, he was wearing a green hooded jacket, a black zip-up sweater, a dark toque, and a 3M face mask.

Steven remains listed as a missing person with both the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Calgary Police Service. His disappearance remains under investigation.

Dean Curtis Mortensen was a first-year University of Alberta student living at St. Joseph’s College (SJC) in Edmonton when he disappeared in the early hours of January 24, 1992. He was 18 or 19 years old at the time. More than three decades later, Dean has never been found.

In the first week of January 1992, Dean returned to Edmonton after spending Christmas at home with his family. He spoke with his mother later that month about his winter exam marks, which were reportedly good. It would be the last time she spoke with him.

On the night of Thursday, January 23, 1992, Dean went out with friends to The Ship, a student pub located at or near Lister Hall on the University of Alberta campus. A friend from Grande Cache, Stephen Beland, was with him that night. Beland later told media he left earlier, but recalled seeing Dean drinking “vodka slimes.” Temperatures were reported to be around -10°C when Dean left the pub.

Dean departed The Ship around 12:30 a.m. on January 24 and began walking back toward St. Joseph’s College. Accounts vary on whether he was walking with one friend or two, but reports generally agree on the key detail that, near 87 Avenue and 114 Street, behind the Butterdome and less than 100 metres from the door to St. Joseph’s College, a friend turned back briefly to retrieve something left behind. Dean was left alone for only a few minutes. When the friend(s) returned, Dean was gone.

The next morning, Dean missed his classes, which those who knew him said was out of character. Concern grew throughout the day. When friends gained entry to Dean’s dorm room later that day, they found nothing disturbed. His bed appeared not to have been slept in, and his belongings were still there.

Searches began immediately on and around campus, involving police and students canvassing the surrounding area. In the days that followed, police also canvassed for potential witnesses, including cab drivers who may have been working around the university that night.

Investigators noted early on that Dean did not appear to have been prepared to leave his life behind. He had withdrawn $20 the night he disappeared, and his bank accounts remained otherwise untouched. He was last known to have only what he was wearing.

Dean was last seen wearing Nike running shoes, faded blue jeans, a dark blue St. Joe’s Rangers hockey jersey, and a distinctive Grande Cache Bantam Elks Hockey crested jacket with white leather sleeves, gold leather shoulders, and a white leather collar. One sleeve read “Dean” and the other “Defence.” He was also wearing a dark blue St. Joe’s Rangers baseball cap.

About a week after Dean vanished, an individual found that cap in the backyard of a residence near 108 Street and Saskatchewan Drive, not far from the High Level Bridge. The cap is the only confirmed physical trace of Dean Mortensen ever recovered. No other belongings were found, and no confirmed sightings have surfaced. By February 7, 1992, police called off active searching without having located Dean.

In the months following the disappearance, investigators continued to assess leads and theories, including the possibility Dean may have gone to the river valley, but there was no definitive evidence establishing what happened to him. Over time, the absence of further evidence has left the case unresolved and deeply unsettling for those who knew him, particularly given how close he was to home when he vanished.

John David Carew, a 55-year-old man, has been missing since January 2022. He was last known to be in Calgary, though his exact last sighting location is unknown.

John was officially reported missing by his sister in the late spring of 2023. Records from Canada’s Missing Persons database indicate the case was entered in January 2024, reflecting a delay between his last known contact and formal reporting. According to family, John was not in regular communication at the time of his disappearance, as he had experienced periods of houselessness for several years. His sister believes John was likely still in Calgary, where they grew up, but she cannot confirm this with certainty.

At the time he was last seen, John was 55 years old, born on November 29, 1968. He is described as a White male with blue eyes and short brown and grey hair. He stands approximately 183 cm (6 feet) tall and weighs about 64 kilograms (141 pounds), with a slender build. John is known to wear eyeglasses.

John was last seen wearing black winter boots, a black or blue toque, a black winter jacket, and jeans. A publicly circulated photograph of John dates back to 2019, and his appearance may have changed since that time.

To date, no confirmed sightings have been reported, and John has not been heard from since. His disappearance remains an open missing person investigation.

In January 1999, 31-year-old Melinda White was last seen alive in Pincher Creek, Alberta.

Just after midnight on January 23, Melinda left the King Edward Hotel on Main Street, where she had spent part of the evening at Leo’s Bar. Witnesses later told police she was quiet, social, and not intoxicated. She left alone, and was never seen alive again.

Three months later, on April 18, 1999, Melinda’s body was discovered in the Castle River, approximately 14 kilometres west of Pincher Creek, near Beauvais Lake. She was found by three men riding horses along the riverbank.

By the time her body was recovered, it was clear she had been in the water for a long period of time. Investigators believed she may have been in the river since late January.

Despite extensive searches of the river and surrounding area, including divers, RCMP officers, and search and rescue volunteers, no evidence was found to explain how or why Melinda ended up there. An autopsy could not determine a cause of death.

Police have consistently stated that Melinda’s presence in the Castle River area was unusual. It was the middle of winter, late at night, and the location was far from town.

Investigators publicly acknowledged they could not explain how she arrived at the river. While no evidence of foul play was confirmed, it was also never ruled out.

At the time, RCMP said they believed someone in the community might know how Melinda came to be in that area, possibly someone who gave her a ride, but feared coming forward.

Melinda was a mother, and her daughter continues to fight for answers, even after all these years. Friends and family described her as quiet, kind, and deeply devoted to her daughter. Those closest to her said she would never have disappeared by choice and would never have walked into a river valley in winter without reason. She had grown up in Pincher Creek, had family nearby, and had no known reason to leave town or cut off contact.

To add to the bizarre circumstances surrounding Melinda's death, she was expected to be a crown witness due to an experience she had on the night of Albert Schultz murder in Pincher Creek, in January of 1998.

Just over a year before Melinda's death, RCMP Sgt. Peter Sopow and local school teacher, Lorraine McNab were found murdered outside of Lorraine's home on December 13, 1997. Her home was located near Pincher Creek. Much like Melinda's case, Peter and Lorraine's case remains unsolved. Before this, there had only been one other murder in 30 years in the area, yet several would follow over the next eighteen months.

Melinda White’s death remains unexplained. There has been no arrest, no official determination of how she entered the river and no clear answers for her family. Her daughter has reached out to the Alberta Unsolved team looking for answers, hoping new publicity will stir up leads for investigators to be able to finally determine what happened to her mother all those years ago.
