CANADA Canada - Ronald "Ron" Yakimchuk, 27, & Theresa "Terry" (Pettit) Yakimchuk, 23, last known stop in Dryden ON, 12 June 1973

[UncoolNegated]

By my research, something happened to them between Dryden and Ottawa between June 12th and June 16th, 1973. The woman had purchased a money order or cashier's cheque or whatever they called those things in 1973. She made the purchase in Edmonton with plans to cash it at her bank in Ottawa. But it never got cashed.

I disregard the Parry Sound sighting without something else corroborating it. The kayak wasn't on top of the car. Also, that would create 5-6 weeks where they just didn't contact anyone.

I would say as in most missing persons and car, that they are in a body of water along the route they had planned at the time.

From the archives: Vanishing point — the mysterious disappearance of Edmonton journalists Terry Pettit and Ron Yakimchuk

In June 1973, an Edmonton couple set out in their battered Volkswagen for a wedding in Montreal. They never arrived. A postcard with a one-word message was their last contact with loved ones who are still haunted by the disappearance.

Imagine a story where they somehow ended up in the US?

Just noticing that the 2nd and 4th cases that I mentioned have since been solved separately which is awesome news!

Identified! - CT - Stonington (Ledyard), WhtFem UP8909, 18-30, JNHS 1917 Class Ring, Lady Clairol hair roller set, May'74 - Linda Sue Childers

Identified! - PA - Fort Indiantown Gap, WhtFem 12-20, 609UFPA, extensive dental work, covered w/ plastic, Oct'73 Ruth Elizabeth Brenneman

Forgot about updating on this. Doe Network voted no due to dental age being off, which honestly worries me. Very recently, Marcia Thomas was identified and her dental age was way off. Also, Doe Network voted no on ONLY dental age, no other factors were taken into account. Or at the very least...
