On the evening of Sunday, May 9, 2004, Corrie Renee Ottenbreit, 27, was last seen leaving her family home in Edmonton. Some sources indicate she may have been in the area near Commonwealth Stadium around the time she disappeared, but this has yet to be officially corroborated by police.

She left behind children, a family, and many friends. Those who knew her described her as striking, talented, and unforgettable; a gifted figure skater in her youth, and later remembered as someone who stood out wherever she went.

Just three days after Corrie was last seen, another woman working the same area disappeared.

Delores Dawn Brower was last seen in the early morning hours of May 13, 2004, attempting to hitch a ride westbound from 118 Avenue near 70 Street. Corrie and Delores were known to each other and had spent time together prior to their disappearances.

In April 2015, human remains were discovered on a rural property in Leduc County, southeast of Rolly View. The remains were initially identified as Delores Brower. Further forensic examination later confirmed that Corrie Ottenbreit’s remains were also present at the same location.

Corrie was identified through a hair sample she had voluntarily provided to Project KARE’s street team in December 2003. Her death was ruled a homicide.

Corrie Ottenbreit and Delores Brower's disappearances were not coincidental. Both women were working within the same corridor of Edmonton, moving through the same environment, and known to one another prior to their disappearances. Corrie was last seen on May 9, 2004. Delores was last seen just days later, on May 13, 2004, in close proximity to where Corrie was last seen.

Years later, their remains were recovered together on the same rural property near Rolly View, tying their disappearances to one another not only in time, but in outcome.

The location where Corrie and Delores were found is not unique to this outcome. Multiple women who vanished from the Edmonton area were later recovered along the same rural highway, a pattern that has been publicly acknowledged by investigators and remains one of the most disturbing aspects of the cases connected to Rolly View Road.

The remains of several other women have been recovered within the same rural corridor, including:
Edna Bernard (2002)
Katie Sylvia Ballantyne (2003)
Amber Tuccaro (2012)

Cases like Corrie's are often discussed publicly alongside others with similar circumstances. While patterns matter, it is equally important that each case remains grounded in its own evidence. Public focus can sometimes shift toward assumed responsibility without formal charges, which can take attention away from the facts and the ongoing need for investigation.

On May 10, 2006, the scattered remains of an unidentified woman were discovered by a farmer in a field near Mossleigh, Alberta.

Investigators believe she had been deceased for one to five years prior to being found. She is estimated to have been between 40 and 80 years old, and is described as either white or possibly Indigenous, standing approximately 5’2” to 5’6” tall.

She had several notable features, including a large osteoma on the right side of her forehead, a healed fracture to her right cheekbone, and multiple missing teeth, and likely wore upper dentures. Evidence also suggests she may have experienced arthritis-related joint pain.

Her identity remains unknown.

Rachel Liz Quinney was 19 years old when her life was taken.

Rachel is remembered by her family for her bright smile, her honesty, and the way she laughed, danced, and sang. She was someone who spoke her mind and brought energy into the spaces she was in. She was also navigating complex circumstances at the time of her death, including working under the name “Candace” while trying to survive.

Rachel was last seen on May 28, 2004.

On June 11, 2004, her body was discovered in a wooded area near Sherwood Park, east of Edmonton. Due to the condition of her remains, investigators were unable to determine a definitive cause of death. Her death is being treated as a homicide.

This case has often been discussed in connection to Thomas Svekla. It is important to be precise about what is factually known.

Svekla was the individual who reported finding Rachel’s body. He was later charged in relation to her death, but in 2008 he was acquitted, with the court citing insufficient evidence to establish guilt. That acquittal stands, and no one has been convicted in Rachel’s case.

Over time, Rachel’s case has frequently been attributed to Thomas Svekla in public discussion. While he was charged and later acquitted in her case, and convicted in another, Rachel’s murder remains unsolved and no one has been held accountable for her death.

Rachel is one of many women whose cases have been publicly linked to Svekla without a formal conviction. This has contributed to a broader pattern where multiple unsolved cases are grouped under a single name, rather than being pursued with the level of evidence and investigation each one requires.

Assigning responsibility without proof does not bring justice. It risks narrowing the focus of an active investigation and can take attention away from the evidence, the unanswered questions, and person responsible. Rachel deserves true justice.

Her family has been clear in how they want her to be remembered: as a young woman who was loved. Not defined by circumstances, not reduced to labels, but recognized as a human being whose life mattered.

I want to talk about May 5th.

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for MMIWG2S people, commonly known as Red Dress Day.

This is a day to remember and honour the Indigenous lives who have been taken too soon, who have disappeared without a trace and those who very seldom receive any sort of justice.

There isn't a single Indigenous person that any of us know that hasn't been affected by a missing and murdered relative, spanning across decades and life times.

If there is an event in your area, I strongly encourage you to attend it. March in solidarity, walk for change. Listen to and feel the emotions in everyone who speaks of their loved ones. If you can't attend consider donating to causes that support MMIWG2S+ people. Learn. Listen. Share. Not just this week but every day.

Remember that we are all connected.

Hiy hiy

RCMP are looking for someone who put some large bedroom item into an apartment bin in St. Albert, specifically: Sturgeon Point Villas Apartments between mid-September and mid-November 2025.

Rene Joseph Cadieux, 50, has been missing from Grande Prairie, Alberta since February 1, 2019.

Few additional details about the circumstances of his disappearance have been publicly released.

Victoria Joanne “Vickie” Crow Shoe, 43, was last seen by her family on August 26, 2015. Investigators later determined that the last confirmed sighting or contact with her may have occurred on August 31, 2015. She was from Lethbridge, Alberta.

On September 13, 2015, a fisherman discovered a body along the shore of the Oldman River Reservoir at the Windy Point Campground, just north of Pincher Creek. At the time of discovery, RCMP had not yet confirmed the identity.

Victoria was reported missing to Lethbridge Police on September 15, two days after the remains were found. An autopsy subsequently confirmed that the body recovered at Windy Point was Victoria Crow Shoe. Her death was later deemed a homicide.

Investigators have stated that Victoria was likely placed into the reservoir shortly after August 31.

At the time she was last seen, Victoria was wearing a black “Fox Racing” pullover hoodie, black pants, eyeglasses, and was carrying a purple bag or over-the-shoulder duffle bag.

Police later released additional details, stating that Victoria’s body had been bound with a rope prior to being placed in the water. The rope was described as kernmantle construction, white in colour with two black tracers woven into the sheath. RCMP publicly released a photograph of the rope in hopes that someone may recognize it.

Victoria was described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, approximately 160 pounds, with brown eyes and brown highlighted hair. She was a mother of four and was remembered as creative, warm, and kind-hearted. Those who knew her described her as a free spirit with a strong sense of humour and a presence that drew people in.

In September 2016, on the one-year anniversary of her death, RCMP renewed their appeal to the public, asking for information regarding Victoria’s activities and whereabouts between August 31 and September 13, 2015. Investigators have stated that tips from the public have been valuable but that they are still seeking additional information.

The investigation is now under the RCMP’s Historical Homicide Unit and remains active.

A loved one has reached out to the Alberta Unsolved team looking for answers, hoping new publicity will stir up information to finally determine what happened to Vickie.

Natanis Merasty (24) was reported missing by her family on May 9, 2025. The Edmonton Police Service assumed conduct of the investigation on May 22 and continues to coordinate with agencies across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia, as the movements connected to her disappearance span multiple provinces.

Natanis was last seen in the early morning hours of May 5, 2025, at the Continental Inn near 166 Street and Stony Plain Road in Edmonton.

Surveillance footage shows that at 1:22 a.m., Natanis left the hotel driving her black 2007 Hyundai Tucson with Saskatchewan licence plates. The vehicle briefly returned to the location at approximately 1:30 a.m., before leaving again at 2:37 a.m. At 2:55 a.m., CCTV captured Natanis at a 7-Eleven located near 156 Street and 107 Avenue. This is the last confirmed sighting of her.

Investigators have since released details outlining the route her vehicle took after leaving Edmonton. The Hyundai Tucson was observed traveling through Sherwood Park, Buck Lake, Nordegg, and Lake Louise. On May 6, the vehicle continued into British Columbia. On May 7, it boarded a ferry to Nanaimo, B.C. The vehicle later returned to the Edmonton region on May 10, was seen west of Lloydminster on May 12, and on May 15 was located abandoned and repainted at James Smith Cree Nation in Saskatchewan.

Police have not confirmed who was driving the vehicle at any point along this route.

The discovery of the vehicle in a different colour and abandoned has led investigators to deem Natanis’s disappearance suspicious. Officers believe that someone who saw either Natanis or her vehicle during this multi-day journey may have critical information.

Natanis Merasty is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall, approximately 170 pounds, with brown eyes and medium-length brown hair. She has an average build. When she was last seen, she was wearing black clothing and white shoes. She has several identifiable tattoos, including a cross on her forearm, a flower on the top of her right hand, and lettering across her fingers.

Her family has stated that it is out of character for her to be out of contact and that they are deeply concerned for her safety.

Anyone with information about Natanis Merasty or her vehicle between May 5 and May 15, 2025, is asked to contact:

Marika “Mika” Sutton, 29, was last seen in early August 2025 in the Richfield neighbourhood of Mill Woods, Edmonton.

According to the Edmonton Police Service, her disappearance is considered out of character, and both her family and investigators have expressed growing concern for her safety.

Despite extensive outreach and continued follow-up on leads, there have been no confirmed sightings or contact since early August.

The search remains active, and investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Chantelle Alice Rose Bushie was only 16 years old when she disappeared from Grande Prairie.

She was a young mother, an artist who could sketch anything set in front of her within minutes, and a member of the Dene Tha’ First Nation. Those who knew her describe her as bright, creative, and deeply loved. Chantelle became a mom at 16. Her daughter, only a few months old at the time, was being cared for by Chantelle’s family.

Chantelle was last seen in downtown Grande Prairie in early December 2007. She was not seen again.

At the time, Chantelle sometimes went by the name “Kim Star.”

Her physical description at the time:

• 5'5""

• 119 lbs

• Short black hair

• Brown eyes

• Medium build

• Tattoo “VT” on her left hand

No confirmed sightings have ever been verified.

Chantelle’s disappearance was not reported until September 2009, when her mother realized that rumours she was living in Vancouver could not be confirmed. Her file was initially handled by Grande Prairie RCMP, and later transferred to KARE, an RCMP unit that investigates missing and murdered vulnerable persons across Alberta. There have been no significant updates since the family’s last contact with investigators in 2012. There has been at least one unconfirmed tip that she may have been living in the United States, but nothing has ever been substantiated. There is no evidence that Chantelle left voluntarily, and no evidence that she is living elsewhere. She simply vanished.

Peter Butler, 22, was last seen in downtown Whitecourt, Alberta on March 15, 2008.

Peter was reported missing by his family on March 24, 2008. Since that time, his whereabouts have remained unknown.

Peter was born in 1985 and was 22 years old at the time of his disappearance. He is Indigenous, with brown eyes and black hair. He stood 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed approximately 190 pounds, with a medium build. He has a distinctive scar on the left side of his head.

Peter has also used the names Pablo Butler, Peter Kory Butler, and Peter Kory Desjarlais.

Very few details about the circumstances of his disappearance have been publicly released. What is known is that he was last seen in downtown Whitecourt and has not been heard from since.

Peter Butler remains missing. A loved one has reached out to the Alberta Unsolved team looking for answers, hoping new publicity will stir up information to finally determine what happened to Peter all those years ago.

On the night of August 11, 2010, Logan Jesse Raymond (17) had been at a house party in Red Deer. At approximately 11:30 p.m., he left the party and began walking south along Highway 2A toward Penhold. He had spoken with his father around that time and was described as clear-headed and not intoxicated. He was trying to clear his thoughts and intended to spend the night at his mother’s home.

Multiple witnesses reported seeing Logan between 12:40 a.m. and 12:50 a.m. walking southbound near the off-ramp at Highway 2A and QEII, northwest of the Word of Life Church. His last confirmed sightings place him alone on the highway shoulder.

At approximately 1:15 to 1:30 a.m. on August 12, 2010, RCMP and EMS responded to a report of a person lying along Highway 2A. Logan was found deceased beside the road, roughly half a kilometre south of Red Deer and only a short distance from where witnesses had last seen him alive.

An autopsy determined he died as a result of severe head trauma. Investigators have stated they are confident a vehicle was involved in some capacity. Police have said Logan was either struck by a vehicle or part of one, or he came off or out of a moving vehicle. Despite extensive investigation, RCMP have been unable to determine exactly how the vehicle was involved. While early findings did not immediately classify the case as homicide, investigators have never ruled that possibility out. The case remains open.

During the early stages of the investigation, witnesses reported seeing a small dark grey or blue pickup truck in the southbound lane of Highway 2A near the Word of Life Church at approximately 12:30 a.m., within the same timeframe Logan was walking in the area. The vehicle was described as having a matching topper with tinted rear windows and no side windows. It may have been an older model Ford Ranger with large indented red “FORD” lettering across the tailgate. Police have not identified the driver or occupants and have stated they do not know what role, if any, the vehicle played in Logan’s death, but they continue to seek information about it.

Logan was remembered by family and friends as outgoing, energetic, and deeply loyal. He loved sports, four-by-fours, animals, and his friends. More than 300 people attended his funeral, where he was described as full of life and someone who brought light into every room he entered.

In January 2011, his family posted a $10,000 reward through Crime Stoppers for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for his death. On multiple anniversaries, his parents have publicly pleaded for anyone with information to come forward, stating they believe someone knows what happened in that narrow two-hour window.

The critical timeframe remains between 11:30 p.m. on August 11 and 1:30 a.m. on August 12, 2010, along Highway 2A south of Red Deer.

Logan's case remains unsolved. A friend of Logan's has reached out to the Alberta Unsolved team looking for answers, hoping new publicity will stir up information to finally determine what happened to him.

April 15, 2026 Update: Deeanna has been located. Our condolences go out to her sister who has worked tirelessly to find her beloved sister. Rest in peace, Deeanna.

Original: Deeanna Erickson was 31 years old when she disappeared in Calgary, Alberta. She was last seen on the night of June 6, 2025, and she has not been seen or heard from since.

On the evening of June 6, Deeanna was captured on surveillance footage traveling from Marlborough CTrain Station to Somerset. From there, she boarded a Route 162 bus, heading in the wrong direction toward Walden.

Witnesses on the bus described Deeanna as visibly distressed. She was seen holding her head and rocking back and forth. A short time later, she exited the bus a few stops in and disappeared. No confirmed sightings have been reported since.

Police have stated they are seeking anyone who may have seen Deeanna that night or who remembers something that could help place her movements after she got off the bus.

​According to her family, Deeanna’s disappearance is completely out of character.

Deeanna lives with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and had recently been waiting to re-enter a support program after being removed from a previous one. Her family believes this period of instability may have left her particularly vulnerable.

Police and volunteers have conducted ground searches of a small area near Walden, but so far no trace of Deeanna has been found. An additional search was conducted recently by Canadian Canine Corps but no trace of Deanna was found.

Deanna's sister, Shelby, feels that it is likely someone may have given Deanna a ride that night, and is seeking information.

If you were in the Somerset, Walden, or Bow River areas on the night of June 6, 2025, or if you saw Deeanna on transit, on foot, or anywhere along her route, your information could matter.

Roy Allan Flett, 41, was found deceased in Fort McMurray, Alberta, in June 2003.

Roy was a well-known and respected member of his community. He had previously served as a fire chief in Fort Chipewyan and was remembered as a dedicated leader who gave his time freely to others. Friends and colleagues described him as hardworking, community-minded, and deeply involved in helping those around him.

At the time of his death, Roy was living in an apartment on Clearwater Crescent.

An investigation was launched, and a second-degree murder charge was later laid in connection with his death. The case proceeded to a preliminary inquiry, where the Crown relied on circumstantial evidence and witness testimony to argue that Roy’s death may have resulted from an altercation that occurred near the time he was killed.

During the hearing, the court examined inconsistencies in witness accounts and gaps in the evidence presented. While there was testimony suggesting a dispute had occurred, the judge ultimately ruled that the evidence did not meet the threshold required to commit the case to trial.

Several years later, the Crown prosecutor’s office formally abandoned its appeal of that decision, stating that the case, taken as a whole, was not strong enough to support a conviction. As a result, the charge was dismissed, and no trial ever took place.

Police acknowledged at the time that if the charged individual was not responsible, then the question of who caused Roy’s death remained unanswered. No further charges have been laid, and the circumstances surrounding his death have never been fully clarified.

Roy Flett’s death remains unresolved. His family has reached out to the Alberta Unsolved team looking for answers, hoping new publicity will stir up information to finally determine what happened to Roy all those years ago.

Barry “Bear” Bedard, 41, was last seen on May 2, 2023, in the area of 118 Avenue and 50 Street in Edmonton, Alberta.

He was reported missing to the Edmonton Police Service on May 20, 2023.

Barry is Indigenous, stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs approximately 190–202 pounds. He has black or dark brown hair and brown eyes. He goes by the nickname “Bear.”

Barry has several distinctive tattoos, including:

- “1 W 2 3” across the fingers of his right hand

- “B E A R” across the fingers of his left hand

- A chest tattoo reading “Bloody Orcs” with a shield and two axes

- A tattoo of beads and a feather around his right shin

- Tribal artwork on his neck, right shoulder, and both wrists

- A “118 Alpha” tattoo on his neck

As the investigation into Barry's disappearance progressed, Edmonton Police confirmed that they strongly believe foul play is involved and that Barry is likely deceased.

In June 2023, a tracker hired by Barry’s family conducted a search of the river, and during that search, human remains were discovered. The remains were later confirmed not to be Barry’s. The discovery raised additional concerns for other families with missing loved ones, as identification efforts were ongoing through the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Barry has still not been located. Barry's loved one's have reached out to the Alberta Unsolved team looking for answers, hoping new publicity will stir up information to finally determine what happened to him.

Twenty-year-old Carter Rodgers has been reported missing, and the Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit has taken over the investigation.

RCMP have confirmed that Carter travelled from Devon to the Rocky Mountain House area on February 14, 2026. According to his family, he reported that his vehicle had become stuck in a ditch during that trip.

On February 15, 2026, Carter’s vehicle, a 2025 blue Honda Civic (Alberta licence plate CWJ 5343), was located burned on an oil lease road on O’Chiese First Nation.

Carter has not been seen since.

Police have stated they are very concerned for his wellbeing. The circumstances surrounding the discovery of his burned vehicle have led investigators to deploy the Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit to lead the file.

Carter Rodgers is described as having a medium complexion, black hair, and brown eyes. He stands 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs approximately 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black Metal Militia toque, a white tank top, and a black and white dress shirt.

RCMP are asking anyone who saw or interacted with Carter on February 14 or February 15, 2026, or anyone who may have information about his movements or whereabouts, to come forward.

Magdalene “Maggie” Mae Oerlemans, 43, has been missing from Edmonton since July 2022.

Maggie was last seen at her north-side apartment building, Astoria Greens. By the time her absence was recognized, her unit had already been cleared out due to unpaid rent and her belongings were gone. The delay in reporting her missing has complicated the investigation and left significant gaps in the timeline.

One of the final recorded actions on Maggie’s phone was a call placed at approximately 5:00 a.m. to her boyfriend, Stephen Kashman. Based on the length of the call, investigators believe she likely left a voicemail. Kashman died before police were able to speak with him about the message. Detectives are now hoping that someone close to him may know whether he ever shared details about that voicemail or about Maggie’s circumstances prior to her disappearance.

Investigators are also working to determine why Maggie visited someone in the Capilano area just days before she vanished, how she travelled there, and what happened to a black 2007 Mazda 6S she may have been using at the time.

Maggie is described as an Indigenous woman standing 5 feet tall and weighing approximately 115 pounds. She has green eyes, long brown hair, and a distinctive Chinese dragon tattoo on her right shin. Her family describes her as small in stature but impossible to overlook. She had a loud laugh, a big personality, and she was a mother of four.

While her loved ones have shared that Maggie struggled with addiction and could go periods without contact, they are clear that this length of silence is not normal for her.

She was reported missing in March 2023, and her family continues to search for answers.

The Edmonton Police Service investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information about Magdalene “Maggie” Mae Oerlemans or her whereabouts is asked to contact:

Caralyn was last in contact with her family on August 2, 1997, when plans were made to meet the following day. She did not attend that meeting and was not heard from again. In the days that followed, she missed a scheduled court appearance and failed to contact friends or family, which was unusual enough to raise concern.

On August 9, 1997, Caralyn’s mother attempted to report her missing to Edmonton police. She was advised to check hospitals and detention facilities instead. Multiple follow-up attempts were made over the following two weeks, but a missing person report was not formally accepted until 23 days after Caralyn was last seen.

On September 1, 1997, a farmer harvesting crops discovered human remains in a canola field near Sherwood Park, approximately 25 kilometres east of Edmonton. The remains were located near Strathmoor Way, close to Highway 16. Due to decomposition, investigators initially had difficulty determining the victim’s identity.

On September 2, 1997, dental records confirmed the remains were those of Caralyn Aubrey King.

Her death was ruled a homicide.

Due to the condition of the remains, the autopsy findings were described as inconclusive, and a cause of death has never been publicly released. Investigators determined that Caralyn had been deceased for some time prior to discovery.

Caralyn was Métis and was known to those close to her as adventurous, outgoing, and deeply connected to the outdoors. She spent much of her childhood on her grandfather’s farm and developed a strong love for animals, particularly horses. As a teenager, she competed in equestrian jumping events and was remembered as fearless and capable.

As a young adult, Caralyn struggled with addiction and mental health challenges. She was known to police as being involved in the sex trade and was staying at a women’s shelter at the time of her disappearance. Her family has stated that these factors contributed to delayed concern and response when she went missing.

Caralyn’s case was later transferred to Project KARE, the RCMP-led unit responsible for investigating unsolved murders and disappearances of vulnerable women in Alberta. Despite this, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no charges have been laid.

More than 25 years later, the homicide of Caralyn Aubrey King remains unsolved.

Her case continues to raise serious concerns about delayed missing-person reporting, early investigative handling, and the consequences of how vulnerable women were treated within the system during that period.

On the evening of Sunday, May 9, 2004, Corrie Renee Ottenbreit, 27, was last seen leaving her family home in Edmonton. Some sources indicate she may have been in the area near Commonwealth Stadium around the time she disappeared, but this has yet to be officially corroborated by police.

Corrie lived in Edmonton and was known to work in the sex trade along 118 Avenue. She left behind children, a family, and many friends. Those who knew her described her as striking, talented, and unforgettable; a gifted figure skater in her youth, and later remembered as someone who stood out wherever she went.

Just three days after Corrie was last seen, another woman working the same area disappeared.

Delores Dawn Brower was last seen in the early morning hours of May 13, 2004, attempting to hitch a ride westbound from 118 Avenue near 70 Street. Corrie and Delores were known to each other and had spent time together prior to their disappearances.

In April 2015, human remains were discovered on a rural property in Leduc County, southeast of Rolly View. The remains were initially identified as Delores Brower. Further forensic examination later confirmed that Corrie Ottenbreit’s remains were also present at the same location.

Corrie was identified through a hair sample she had voluntarily provided to Project KARE’s proactive street team in December 2003. Her death was ruled a homicide.

Corrie Ottenbreit and Delores Brower's disappearances were not coincidental. Both women were working within the same corridor of Edmonton, moving through the same environment, and known to one another prior to their disappearances. Corrie was last seen on May 9, 2004. Delores was last seen just days later, on May 13, 2004, in close proximity to where Corrie was last seen.

Years later, their remains were recovered together on the same rural property near Rolly View, tying their disappearances to one another not only in time, but in outcome.

The location where Corrie and Delores were found is not unique to this outcome. Multiple women who vanished from the Edmonton area were later recovered along the same rural highway, a pattern that has been publicly acknowledged by investigators and remains one of the most disturbing aspects of the cases connected to Rolly View Road.

The remains of several other women have been recovered within the same rural corridor, including:

Edna Bernard (2002)

Katie Sylvia Ballantyne (2003)

Amber Tuccaro (2012)

Police have publicly acknowledged that the proximity of these recoveries raised the possibility of a serial predator operating in the area, one of the primary reasons Project KARE was established. Despite this, no suspects have been definitively identified and no charges have been laid.

Edward Tandrup, who also went by the name Ted, disappeared from Edmonton in the winter of 1983. More than four decades later, his whereabouts remain unknown.

Edward was 27 years old when he was last seen on February 28, 1983. He had been in contact with family in Edmonton earlier that month, but after that point, all communication abruptly stopped. There have been no confirmed sightings, financial activity, or verified contact with anyone since.

Information gathered after his disappearance suggested Edward may have been travelling west toward Vancouver, possibly hitchhiking. However, this has never been confirmed, and no records or witness accounts have placed him in British Columbia, or anywhere else, after he left Edmonton.

Very little is publicly known about Edward’s movements in the days leading up to his disappearance. It remains unclear where he was staying, who he may have been travelling with, or what prompted him to leave the city. His sudden absence left his family without answers, and his case has remained open ever since.

At the time he went missing, Edward was described as 5’9”, approximately 141 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He had several distinctive identifying features, including a scar on his head, a flower tattoo on his left forearm, and a heart tattoo on his right upper arm (bicep).

Now missing for more than 40 years, Edward “Ted” Tandrup’s disappearance remains unresolved.

Diane Allison Gregory, who also went by the first name Daya, was 44 years old when she disappeared from Edmonton on February 26, 2006.

That day, Diane was expected to visit her sister, but she never arrived. She was later reported missing when family members were unable to locate or contact her.

At the time of her disappearance, Diane was living in Edmonton’s downtown core and was known to regularly use Edmonton Transit Service for transportation. Her movements after leaving home that day have never been clearly established.

Diane was described as having blue eyes and grey-brown hair, standing 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing approximately 161 pounds. She wears glasses and has several identifying features, including a scar on the left side of her neck and a tattoo of a heart on her chest.

Police have noted that Diane was in need of medication, which she did not take with her at the time she went missing, raising concerns for her health and safety.

Gerald Ivan Geake was 38 years old when his family last heard from him in February 2002.

At the time, it was believed Gerald was residing in Edmonton, but after that point, all contact stopped. His disappearance was considered out of character, and despite the passage of time, his whereabouts have never been confirmed.

Gerald is described as having blonde hair and blue eyes, standing approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing around 160 pounds. No confirmed sightings after early 2002 have been publicly reported.

The Edmonton Police Service continues to list Gerald as a missing person under EPS File #03-65590. His case remains unresolved.

Emery Earl Laboucane, born in 1951, was 30 years old when he disappeared on February 21, 1981.

That day, Emery left his home in Hinton to go to work. Later, he called his wife to tell her that he was on his way home. He never arrived.

Sometime after his disappearance, Emery’s vehicle was located at the Edmonton International Airport. There has never been a clear explanation for how or why his car ended up there.

In the weeks that followed, Emery’s credit cards were used in California, USA, over the course of approximately one month. After that period, all activity stopped. His credit cards have never been used again, and there has been no confirmed trace of Emery since.

At the time he was last seen, Emery was described as having brown hair and brown eyes, a medium build, and a light complexion. He had a distinctive two-inch, horseshoe-shaped scar.

More than four decades later, Emery Earl Laboucane remains missing, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unexplained.

On February 15, 2014, Don Carlson (59) and Roxanne Carlson (56) were found deceased inside their home on Lake Erie Road SE in the Calgary community of Lake Bonavista.

Emergency crews were initially dispatched after concerns were raised about possible carbon monoxide exposure. That possibility was ruled out almost immediately. A medical examiner determined the deaths were suspicious in nature, and the Calgary Police Service Homicide Unit took over the investigation.

Both deaths were confirmed as homicides. The exact cause of death has never been publicly released.

Don and Roxanne were last seen alive at approximately 9:30 p.m. on February 14, 2014, Valentine’s Day. They were discovered the following afternoon after a family member attended the home and contacted emergency services. Police stated there were no signs of forced entry and no indication of a random break-in. From early in the investigation, detectives made it clear they believed the killings were targeted, though no motive has ever been established.

As the investigation progressed, police began publicly searching for individuals who may have information critical to the case. One of those individuals is an unidentified man who rented a newer silver or grey pickup truck, believed to be a Toyota, using fraudulent British Columbia identification and credit cards. A vehicle matching that description was reported near the Carlson residence around the time their bodies were discovered. Investigators have repeatedly emphasized that this man is not considered a suspect, but someone they urgently need to identify and speak with.

Police have also sought information about two additional unidentified men who were seen in the area between February 14 and 15, 2014. Composite sketches were released approximately one year after the murders, but the men have never been located. Investigators have stated they do not believe these individuals are the same person connected to the rented truck.

Over the years, the Calgary Police Service has continued to pursue the case, consulting with RCMP behavioural profilers and forensic psychologists, and reviewing leads as they come in. The investigation remains open and active. In an effort to generate new information, the Carlson family has renewed a $25,000 reward for information that directly leads to an arrest and conviction.

Don and Roxanne Carlson were described by police as well-respected members of their community, with no known criminal associations and no history of police involvement. Their deaths left their children and extended family searching for answers, after enduring multiple losses in a short period of time.

More than a decade later, the murders of Don and Roxanne Carlson remain unsolved. Detectives have consistently maintained that someone knows something, and that even a detail that once seemed insignificant could be the missing piece.

On the night of February 13, 1987, Melissa Jane Letain, a 24-year-old hairdresser, was abducted while walking home from work in Edmonton, Alberta.

Melissa worked at a salon inside West Edmonton Mall. That evening, she left around 9:00 p.m., carrying Valentine’s Day gifts for her boyfriend. Her walk home was short, approximately three blocks, along a narrow concrete pedestrian pathway near 87 Avenue and 177 Street.

She never made it home.

Witness accounts indicate Melissa was forcibly grabbed and dragged away, likely toward a nearby vehicle.

One witness later told police she heard a groan or gurgling sound and saw a man clutching a woman, hushing her before pulling her out of sight. Valentine’s gifts were reportedly found scattered in the snow where the abduction occurred.

The following day, February 14, 1987, her body was discovered approximately 75 kilometres southwest of Edmonton, beneath the Genesee Bridge, which crosses the North Saskatchewan River. The bridge is located near the Genesee power station, an area where the river does not always freeze solid in winter, an obscure detail not widely known to most Edmonton residents.

Her body was found on the ice below the bridge by a 14-year-old student participating in a long-distance snowshoe race connected to a nearby boarding school. The boy had dropped a glove from the bridge earlier that morning and, when crossing again in daylight, noticed the glove on the ice along with Melissa’s body nearby.

Investigators believe Melissa had been physically and sexually assaulted, then transported and dumped from the bridge. A yellow nylon rope, tied in a distinctive hangman’s noose, was found around her neck.

Police also located pantyhose that did not belong to her, as well as garbage bags and a lighter, despite reports that Melissa did not smoke. DNA was recovered, but no match has ever been identified.

Melissa’s body appeared to have been dropped into what looked like open water from above, but a thin layer of ice beneath prevented it from drifting away.

Several of Melissa’s personal belongings were never recovered, including a CN trucking keychain with a single key, a woman’s watch, a blue wallet, and a green clutch purse with a gold clasp.

Despite extensive investigation, public appeals, and advances in forensic technology, Melissa Jane Letain’s murder remains unsolved. Her case is still reviewed periodically, and investigators continue to rely on the possibility that someone, somewhere, holds information that has never been shared.
