CANADA Canada - Ryan Shtuka, 20, Kamloops, BC, 17 Feb 2018

  • #101
Sadly, there are still snow banks melting and just yesterday on the FB page a poster was asking about the snow that gets removed and dumped elsewhere when they plow the roads. Ryan’s mother responded with a description of the large mounds of dirty, rocky snow removed from road-clearing. These are not melted yet and even though they tried to speed up the thaw with a water jets, I think it will be a few weeks before that possibility can be eliminated. If Ryan is lying in a mound of cleared snow :( , he would not be the first Canadian to meet this fate. And if at the final thaw, there is still no sign of him, well, I think the police really do have to take seriously the possibility that something more sinister has happened.

The gang sign sent me down this road but we have to frank a gang sign on your shoulder while smiling might have some real significance MOO

Speculation only

An alleged Kamloops gangster facing 15 drug-related charges will spend the foreseeable future behind bars.

Erwin Dagle is facing 22 charges, including multiple counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, two assault allegations and a multiple alleged driving offences.

The charges against the 23-year-old .......

age ----

Alleged gangster held in custody in Kamloops

pure speculation tho

I just came across this case as well. It is absolutely heartbreaking.
I have two sons, and if one of them went missing I would be out of my mind.

The closest I can come to understanding the feeling that Ryan's mother must feel (and it's a WAY long off!) is when I came home from work one day and my hubby told me our 14 yo son had "left". I asked him what he meant. He told me they had an argument about chores and our son put all of the things that we gave him (computer, etc.) out in the hall and then said he was leaving. He walked out the door.
We drove around the streets looking for him. My husband was devastated. We knew he didn't have many places to go, which, in it's own way was terrifying.

Our son ultimately simply showed up at home when he needed a safe place to sleep. Pheww!

And if that's all we had to deal with, I simply CANNOT imagine what Ryan's parents are going through.
Dammit. I want to take them in my arms and comfort them.

Kamloops Ski Shuttle

The ski resort where Ryan lived and the house party Ryan was at when he went missing are about 35 miles away from the Kamloops home invasion place where the woman was arrested in January. That shuttle from Kamloops to the resort looks like it only ran on the weekends. I had not seen anything that Ryan worked the shuttle; I got the impression he was working at the resort itself, but saw no real info on what job he had there. [Update: a web search showed he went to work there as a lift operator, so likely did not get to Kamloops much at all.]

OT: Born and raised in US, but I can understand how somebody from another culture might think this. Last time I checked, youth / youthfulness are essentially worshiped in the US, but it doesn't seem odd from inside our culture. Term of affection and / or adoration. Not judging, just sayin...



I certainly hope that Ryan is found soon. When does all the snow melt completely in that area? April? May? This gives me hope. My heart goes out to his family. [emoji171]

Mom made a good point it is starting to melt but it is starting near the roads which they know he is not
the places they need to see are the areas that will take a really long time to thaw

I suppose however, if deceased causation might be more likely to be determined because of the temp

I'm not sure if there is anything to a drugs or gang angle in Ryan's case. I haven't ever picked up a vibe of this online from any source -LE, media, friends, family. With Ryan's case and the also unsolved disappearance of 10-year-old Ariel Kouakou in Montreal, it seems that the general feel is that the Canadian winter cold has taken a victim and sometimes the only game is a long game. A long waiting game.
I really do hope the summer will bring peace and end to the waiting game.

I heard about this watching a Brainscratch earlier. His stuff is good

First search came back with a pic and a gang sign/ I worked with incarcerated juvenile delinquents and have experience with the gang dynamic.

That individual was throwing signs.

There is often intense affiliations within these entities. Signing for a picture is a statement generally/

That is what got me wondering. From what I have learned simply put IMO it sounds like other party goers have not been especially helpful.

That population generally speaking , if that in fact is a component of this - speculation_ are generally pretty leary of LE which appears to be the case in this instance

Has any friend from the house that night come forward with concern for situation>

Just a thought and speculation

I learned they went to a Silent Disco event earlier. No idea what it was

A silent disco or silent rave is an event where people dance to music listened to on wireless headphones. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via a radio transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants.

Is it just me, or does it seem there is a HUGE GAP between the roomie leaving the party saying Ryan was putting his coat on right behind him and then realizing he never went to work???

It could just be me...

:blushing:

:scared:

some thing may have had to be taken of speculation of course

Hi, sorry, I'm late learning about Ryan. I'm wondering after he left his friends house on Burfield Drive, its initially reported that he headed to his residence. Does anyone know in what direction this was or where his residence was.
I realize they later report someone seeing Ryan and theres a possibility he may have headed to a restaurant and changed the direction of the search. Does anyone know where he was last seen?

Tid Bits:

There was mention a Pizza place but that closed at 2 so I was a bit confused as to why the notion he would head in that direction had any relevance.

KAMLOOPS – Details surrounding the situation are scarce, but several employees have been fired following a bizarre incident involving drugs and staff at Sun Peaks Resort.

Aidan Kelly with Sun Peaks says in a statement that RCMP were "called to staff accommodation to investigate reports of illegal substances being present" and some staff members were terminated as a result.

Several Sun Peaks staff members fired after drug search

Efforts by Mounties to inform Sun Peaks' young workforce about the dangers of fentanyl appear to be paying dividends, according to the officer in charge of policing the mountain resort town.



At a September Canada West Ski Areas Association (CWSAA) meeting at Sun Peaks, fentanyl was an important topic to the attendees from around B.C. and the Yukon. Fentanyl has been detected in 81 per cent of illicit drug deaths in B.C. this year.

They will address Sun Peaks Resort LLP’s (SPR) new staff at an upcoming orientation. She said her training is important both to get the overdose-reversing drug Naloxone into the community and to create conversations.

“A ski mountain or resort is a party zone,” said Haug. “It’s (Sun Peaks is) family oriented in many regards but Friday and Saturday nights in peak season it’s also a bunch of people who want to party. We don’t know what they are bringing to our mountain and what people will distribute on the mountain. We don’t know their sources.”

As dealers continue to mix it into other drugs because it’s cheap and easy to synthesize, ski areas are faced with the challenge of keeping guests and staff safe.

supplying the naloxone kits alongside training to ski patrollers and staff throughout other departments.

That sounds sadly accurate. I was feeling he was around a golf course covered in snow. like he passed out and froze.

I can’t see any reason at all to link the Kamloops drug busts etc to Ryan going missing in Sun Peaks.

I’ve thought from the start & still do that his disappearance is a sad (but frequent up here) case of a fall/stumble/wrong turn in the darkness & succumbing to the cold/snow.

I’m not seeing “gang signing”. Especially not on an unsourced picture.

I could pick a whole load of similar pictures from my young adult relatives’ & their friends’ SM and I can assure you that gangs aren’t in the picture!!

I worked in that arena -

here is the link again

As previously stated I certainly am not saying it has any relevance as far as he goes -- pure speculation and observation only.

In all likelihood this is a weather related tragedy however all behavior has meaning
