"LETHBRIDGE, AB – When Sarah Douglas visited Sun Peaks Resort with her family two months ago, one of the things she noticed first was the number of signs posted in the area about Ryan Shtuka."
"26-year-old Marshal Iwaasa was last seen in Lethbridge Nov. 17. He was a student at SAIT, she says, and was in Lethbridge for a reading break, visiting his mother and other family. He was supposed to return to Calgary, but he never arrived.
On Nov. 25, according to Whistler RCMP Sgt. Rob Knapton some hikers who were near the end of a forest service road came upon a burned-out vehicle matching the description of Iwaasa’s GMC truck. It had likely only been there for a couple of days, meaning there would be nearly one week of time that was unaccounted for.
“We did a search in the area, located some belongings; various personal items, clothing – that led us to believe that it may be a missing person from Calgary,” he said.
Officers also recovered personal documents, cell phones that had been destroyed, a laptop that was also destroyed, a path of clothes that were partially burned “as if that person may have caught on fire when the vehicle was burning.”
Knapton says RCMP also conducted several searches in the area in conjunction with Pemberton Search and Rescue, using helicopters, dogs and teams of people.
“Most recently we also brought in an underwater search team to search a creek that was nearby in the direction the clothes were going.”
However, police have no leads on why the vehicle may have ended up near Pemberton or how it ended up there. The search for Iwaasa in the area has been suspended unless some new information becomes available, but that doesn’t mean other efforts to find out what happened to Iwaasa aren’t still active, including those with Calgary Police."
Marshal Iwaasa Missing Person’s Poster
And that’s what Douglas and her family are counting on. She says the Iwaasa family is tight knit, and they don’t believe there’s anything to connect Marshal to that area of B.C.; someone must know something about how he may or may not have ended up there.
“Something like this just doesn’t make sense. It’s so confusing. It all just seems so bizarre. Somebody had to have known something along the way. His license plate will appear somewhere, it’s just a matter of getting a team of people looking at security footage. It’s not going to happen overnight.”
The Iwaasa family is hoping to trigger someone’s memory or to encourage people to look at their security footage by broadcasting Marshal’s missing person’s poster at the next couple of Calgary Flames home games. It looks promising so far, according to a Facebook post on page called “Find Marshal Iwaasa.”
