Came across this fellow in the Edmonton Missing Persons casefiles, even though he is technically an unidentified decedent and not a missing person. It doesn't seem like the case ever got much attention, but with forty-one years having passed, maybe someone figured out this fellow was gone and...

Maybe... Richard George Rusholme? Canada's Missing | Case details Richard disappeared from Niagara Falls on May 1 of 1978, at the age of 20. He left home to go look for work out west, and was never heard from again. Maybe he made a stop along the way to camp in the Provincial park? He was 5'8...

Wow, that is a lot of unidentified bodies. There's really not a lot of information to go on here, but I wonder if this could be Edward Street. Edward Street was 35 years old when he disappeared from Kamloops - which is very close to Merritt - in March of 2000. He left his friends at 8:30am...

Could this Jane Doe be Lucie Gelinas? 21-year-old Lucie Gelinas disappeared from Trois-Riviere, Quebec in April of 1973, saying that she was going to travel to Vancouver with a friend. Her whereabouts - and the whereabouts of her friend - after that are unknown. Lucie is a match for the age...

This looks like a good match, and Elizabeth Bump is not listed as a rule-out. I would go ahead and report this.

I can call them in! I will let you all know what they say.

Canada's national missing person database is neither user-friendly nor searchable, so I'm going through open cases one by one to see if there are any matching cases that the WebSleuths community think are worth calling in to the Tofield police - I'm new to this "web detective" thing. Another...

I've never seen any official sources indicate that it was polio, so I'm a little hesitant to jump to that conclusion - there are a lot of childhood illnesses that could be detectable later on in a person's bones and teeth. Also, the medical examiner who concluded that he had an illness at 5...

I grew up not too far from Tofield, and I really feel drawn to solving this case. Has anyone yet considered the possibility that "Septic Tank Sam" could be Mervin David Sinclair? He seems to match a lot of the details of the case. Sinclair was a First Nations man born in Saskatchewan in 1935...

Based on his physical characteristics, the date of his disappearance, and the unusually long gap between his disappearance and his missing persons investigation, I believe there is a possibility that Ricky is the male Sumter County Doe. It has long been believed that the male Doe was a Canadian...

Could this missing man be Jock Doe? http://www.missingadults.ca/viewMAcase.php?case=ON-MM-1975-11-01521#moreImages http://www.parisstaronline.com/2016/03/22/case-of-ricky-jones-goes-cold-again-city-police...

Maria Medina? She went missing from the area in 1989, and does bear some resemblance to the unidentified girl. She has a pretty prominent birthmark on her leg that's not mentioned in the unidentified girl's NamUs profile, though, so it seems like a stretch. <defunct link>

The resemblance between Margaret Barrett and the sketch is uncanny. If she was an escaped inmate, that would definitely explain why she was camping in the middle of nowhere. I searched for Margaret Barrett's prisoner DOC# in the Nevada Inmate records and found some more information on her...

There are no missing persons cases from the state of Arizona involving a woman named Mary (at least that I could find), so it seems this woman either lied about her name, was not a resident of Arizona at the time of her death, or was never reported missing. I went through the entire Doe...
