Olimpia Miksan Missing 1996 Abbotsford, BC Canada

[JDinsley]

Olimpia was the best friend of my youngest sister. The police deemed her a runaway at the time, but she had her own place, left all of her ID,her new puppy and her paycheck at the house. This was NOT a runaway situation at all. There have never been any leads in the case, mainly because her disappearance wasn't taken seriously by the Abbotsford police at the time of her disappearance.

She may have been down, maybe a bit stressed, but she had a lot going for her at 18. Her own place that young is an incredible achievement. Just from those articles, it seems out of character for her to leave town abruptly rather than discuss a spur-of-the-moment trip if that's what she chose to do. Especially if she had a new puppy, and especially if she left behind a cheque/IDs. It does seem strange that her Canadian citizenship papers were missing, though, if I'm reading that Global write-up correctly. Does not rule out foul play as even if I were trying for a fresh start, I would want to ensure I had funds ahead of me.

Let's bring more attention to Olimpia's name and find answers for her friends and family.

A possible suspect in the disappearance of Olimpia Mikszan might be James Allen Kinney. He is a likely serial killer who was convicted of the 2001 murder of Keri Lynn Sherlock, age 20, in Bellingham, Washington.
