FORGET-ME-NOT series case
18-year-old MAGDALENA CIESEK disappeared from Toronto, ON, sometime around April 1, 2000.
Magdalena met her father earlier that day for lunch. Later, she brought her daughter back to her father’s residence, a home he shared with his parents.
Magdalena’s young daughter was living with Magdalena’s father at that time.
She mentioned that she was scheduled to meet with her estranged husband at 6 pm.
It is not known if she made it to that meeting, or what happened there.
It wasn’t until 2003, some 3 years after she vanished, that her disappearance was reported to police.
Her family said that they’d hired an investigative agency to work on their behalf in 2000 in an attempt to locate her. Unfortunately, that agency had been able to find no information.
While the family had recently moved to Canada from Poland, where Magdalena’s sister still resided, it was confirmed that Magdalena had not crossed the border to re-enter Poland.
Other than a short article or two, Magdalena’s disappearance is unknown to anyone except those closest to her.
Her life matters, and we hope that you will share her story.
(Thank you Ashley Gore for your amazing work on this photo.)

**PLEASE SHARE** A MESSAGE FROM DENISE MCKEE, JEFFREY'S MOTHER:

"Today, On March 16 Jeffrey would turn 46. For some reason, my family has many birthdays in March and Jeffrey fit right in, nestled between my mom on the 15th and his cousin on the 17th. For more than 40 years it was an odd celebration. My mom is gone now and his cousin grew up and lived her life knowing that she had been robbed of a companion. But this year, we have reason to be hopeful that someone is looking for Jeffrey Dupres!

YOU did this; the people who donated to our GoFundMe so that we could have an amazing, updated picture developed and poster drawn up, along with the small army - all of you - who distributed the posters to ensure Jeffrey’s story was seen and told. Thank you! Our campaign is still open if you wish to contribute: https://www.gofundme.com/f/still-missing-jeffrey-dupres

Due to your support, the RCMP have assigned a new investigator to the case, promising to provide the resources he needs and to work with Anna J James, our private investigator. This is a Jeffrey birthday present for sure. Not all of the details have not been worked out, but we now have reason to believe that we will have the cooperation of and communication with the police, that we will see files and understand what has been done over all of these years.

My hope that these things will happen and that there will be a true investigation into what happened to Jeffrey Dupres is made possible because I know you are all there with me. I cannot thank you enough. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFREY! Let’s see what the next year brings. 🥳🫶

UPDATE - FIRST RELEASE OF UPDATED SKETCH, REWARD AND TIP LINE FOR JEFFREY DUPRES: Around Christmastime every year, Denise McKee wishes for just one thing: closure. In 1980 her son, 3-year-old Jeffrey Dupres, was abducted from their yard in Slave Lake, Alberta.

“Jeffrey was a bright and energetic toddler who loved his new tricycle and was thrilled with his first best friend. And then he just disappeared,” said McKee.

On December 14, McKee launched a holiday appeal to promote a new age progression sketch, tip line, and reward for information funded by her GoFundMe campaign.

"I understand the absurdity of a grey-haired woman still looking for her toddler,” said McKee, who turned 68 this year. “But the reality is he was never found, and until then, we will leave no stone unturned.”

UK-based Forensic Artist, Tim Widden, used images of Jeffrey's brothers and the family's health history to create an age progression sketch to show how Jeffrey would like today, age 45.

“Age progressions are a great tool for drawing public attention to a case that has run cold. Without active leads from existing witnesses or physical evidence, they are often a last chance to appeal for new information from the public.” said Widden.

The sketch has been printed on 500 posters and is being distributed across Canada by almost 50 volunteers from McKee's community page.

“We don't know where Jeffrey is. He could be anywhere in Canada or the US, in fact anywhere in the world. The more people who can see his image the better chance we have of finding out what happened.” said McKee.

Tips can be submitted to Slave Lake RCMP by phone 780-849-3999 or on a new confidential tip line where a $5,000 reward is offered for information leading to Jeffrey’s whereabouts.

No matter how much time has passed, it’s never too late to say something. Every tip matters.

Thank you to Jeffrey’s family and supporters for the honour of sharing this important information.

In late spring of 1980, Slave Lake was burning. In one day, the wildfires just outside the small town in Alberta would take the life of a water bomber pilot, the efforts of over 125 RCMP officers, and destroy the innocence of a boy, his family and an entire community.

Thank you to editor Joe McWilliams for Lakeside Leader for sharing our story. If you know of any reporters that would be interested on writing about Jeffrey, please comment below 👇

Jeffrey Dupres was just three years old when he disappeared from Slave Lake, Alberta, in April 1980. Jeffrey's mother, Denise, has spent the last 42 years searching for answers.

Today, Denise launched a GoFundMe in an effort to have the case re-examined and collect new tips. Denise is hoping to hire a private investigator to re-examine the theories, set up a tip line, create updated age-progression sketches, and take other critical steps that can help solve Jeffrey’s case.

"When the police couldn't help, the people of Slave Lake stepped in and searched the town, proving he was no longer in Slave Lake. That was almost 43 years ago; now, he would be 45, and we still don't know what happened to Jeffrey."

Historic missing persons cases are notoriously underfunded. Please SHARE this link with as many people as you can, and please donate if you can.

In the waning days of summer in 1981, 14-year-old Eric Larsfolk was no different than many kids his age. As he ate supper with his parents on August 24, he might have been thinking about the new friends he’d make when he started Grade 10 at Mayfield Secondary School in a few days, or of how he’d celebrate his birthday soon after. He might have been thinking about his friends in Fort Erie, Ont. It had been only weeks since the Larsfolks relocated to an affordable white farmhouse on Horseshoe Hill Road in Caledon, with views of the fields and rolling hills. ⁣
⁣
After supper, as Eric pedalled his new bike down the dusty gravel driveway, he was likely thinking about his blossoming relationship with his 13-year-old neighbour, Kim McCormick. ⁣
⁣
Eric’s father, Lloyd, watched his son disappear in the direction of the McCormick farm, less than one kilometre away. It was sometime after 6 p.m. ⁣
⁣
Eric didn’t know that Kim would be going to babysit for Paul and Maureen Lalonde, who lived up the road. Eric barely knew Kim’s 15-year-old brother, John Jr., and he had no way of knowing he would never come home. ⁣
⁣
40 years later, there is no consistent version of what happened during the next five hours. By 11 p.m., both boys had disappeared.⁣
⁣

Eric Larsfolk, 14, & John McCormick Jr., 15, were last seen at the McCormick farm in , .

A Canada Unsolved investigation, over a year in the making. Coming this fall.

30/04/2021

: In September 2016, a freelance journalist met a man walking along the highway near , , hauling a 15-foot canoe on a homemade trailer attached to his bike. The man introduced himself as “Mitchell Nelson.” ⁣
⁣
Nelson told the reporter that he’d travelled from , , to visit family and friends in —a 600 km drive south of Espanola—and that he’d made most of his journey from Alberta on foot. He talked about his relatives in Ottawa, and his plans to pull his canoe to the eastern shore of Manitoulin Island, then cross Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. ⁣
⁣
One month later, on Oct. 15, Nelson’s body was discovered on the shore of Lake Huron Beach at Port Albert, north of Nine Mile River in Goderich. His post-mortem interval is unknown, and it’s unclear if his canoe or his bike were ever located. ⁣
⁣
Investigators believe “Mitchell Nelson” is an assumed name. Despite receiving over 100 tips following the discovery of his body, the OPP has been unable to determine the man’s real identity. ⁣
⁣
“Mitchell Nelson” is described as 40 to 67 years old, though some news reports give an estimated age range of 30 to 60 years old. He was 5’9” to 5’11” tall, 137 to 176 lbs, with an average to medium build, balding with grey hair, and a thin moustache. He was found wearing a 2XL-3XL blue “Fluid” life jacket, size large black windbreaker pants with the letters “PEP” on the shield, size 9.5 white and black Nike running shoes, a size large black Nord-Sud zippered jacket, a size medium “York” brand tan-coloured shirt and a large black “Avia” half-zip pullover sweater. ⁣
⁣
Police are hoping a family member, friend, acquaintance, co-worker or former classmate will recognize “Mitchell Nelson,” so that his next of kin can be notified. If you have any information that could help, please contact one of the agencies in this post.

I have been waiting to do this announcement for a while....I needed to wait for official press release....

Officially today, Shirley from Alberta, Canada has her name back...✝️. FLY HIGH OUR STOLEN SISTER ✝️

On April 23, 2021 the Kern County Sheriff-Coroner (KCSCO) and the DNA Doe Project (DDP) announced the identification of Kern County Jane Doe 1980 as Shirley Ann Soosay, a member of the Cree Nation. She is one of the first Indigenous Peoples Does to be identified using genetic genealogy.

Ms. Soosay was found in an almond orchard near Bakersfield, California in 1980. She was an unidentified victim of suspected serial killer Wilson Chouest.

In July of 2018, Chief Dawn Ratliff of the Kern County Sheriff-Coroner Division contacted DDP hoping to resolve the woman’s identity using genetic genealogy. Because the DNA was so highly degraded, it took nearly a year to obtain data which could be uploaded to GEDmatch. Genealogical work on the case did not begin until May 2019.

Based on the genealogy research, it was determined that the deceased woman descended from Indigenous First Nations People from Canada, a population which is under-represented in most DNA databases. Team Leader Gina Wrather noted, “This case was particularly challenging because Indigenous family histories are usually relayed orally, so there is little written genealogical documentation available.”

The identity was solved when a close family member recognized an artist’s rendering of Kern County Jane Doe and saw the information about her likely origins, both of which were posted as part of a DDP Facebook outreach campaign. When the relative uploaded their DNA profile to the GEDmatch database the identification was confirmed.

The victim, Shirley Ann Soosay, was found stabbed to death on July 14th in an almond orchard off Highway 99 in Delano just north of Bakersfield. She was identified in February 2020.

According to a video presentation provided by the KCSO, in 2008 her murder was linked by the Department of Justice to Wilson Chouset, a convicted serial killer. He was already serving a life sentence for r**e at the time.

Chouset was convicted in 2018 of killing Jane Doe #5, as well as another woman in Ventura County.

Shirley Ann Sousay was connected to her aunt Violet Soosay through the DNA Project. Violet had been searching for her missing aunt for 40 years.

- Loretta “Lora” Ann Frank had a shy disposition. The youngest of five children, she grew up in Lower Post, . As a teenager, Loretta was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Sometime in 1986 or 1987, she moved to Watson Lake, , and lived with one of her brothers and his spouse. She saw a psychiatrist once a month. ⁣
⁣
Watson Lake had no established psychiatrists, and the revolving roster of doctors meant Lora had difficulty finding adequate treatment. After one year in Watson Lake, she moved 438 km west, to , Yukon. The city’s social services seemed to better suit her needs; she lived in an assisted living facility and soon found employment.

According to a 2015 CBC article, Loretta visited her family over Thanksgiving weekend in 1988. She said she was unhappy in Whitehorse and wanted to move back to Watson Lake. Concerned about the lack of resources in Watson Lake, her family disagreed with the idea. ⁣
⁣
Lora returned to Whitehorse. Her family never saw her again. ⁣
⁣
According to her friends, Lora might have been dating a man from Haines, , before her disappearance. His identity remains unknown. ⁣
⁣
According to several newspaper reports, Loretta’s family reported her missing to police, who quickly dismissed her as a runaway. In a statement to CBC in 2015, RCMP denied having received a report until 1993. By the time an official investigation was opened, 5 years had passed since Loretta Frank was last seen.

This delay is yet another example of systemic apathy toward in Canada.

In 1994, investigators checked hospitals and government agencies in Canada and the U.S., but no sign of Loretta Frank was ever found. She is described as Indigenous, 5’8” and 100 lbs. She is a member of the Tahtlan First Nation of British Columbia and wore prescription glasses at the time of her disappearance.

Loretta Frank would now be 50 years old.

Note: This story has been updated with a correction. A previous version stated the name was Lower Point. The correct name is Lower Post.

In 2019, 73,184 Canadian children & adults were reported missing. In any given year, most cases are resolved within a week. However, after one year, about 500 people remain missing. There are currently 650 unresolved cases of unidentified remains in Canada, and each year, anywhere from 40 to 100 new cases of unidentified remains are reported. ⁣
⁣
The RCMP created the National Missing Persons DNA Program (NMPDP) in 2018 to support missing persons and unidentified remains investigations at a national level. It leverages the work already provided by two RCMP programs — the National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains (NCMPUR) & the National DNA Data Bank (NDDB). The program compares DNA across 7 indices; three managed by the NMPDP, and four managed by the NDDB.⁣
⁣
Recent changes to the DNA Identification Act allowed for the creation of three new humanitarian indices: The Missing Persons Index; The Human Remains Index and The Relatives of Missing Persons Index. Two new criminal indices were also added: The Victims Index (VI) and The Voluntary Donors Index (VDI). ⁣

The addition of the new humanitarian indices marked the first time DNA profiles from missing persons and unidentified human remains were able to be added to the NDDB to determine a match to each other, or to a convicted offender or crime scene DNA profile.

There are currently 500,000 samples in the database available for comparison.

Although the program is an advancement in Canada’s commitment to missing persons and unidentified remains, it’s not perfect. The DNA Identification Act specifies certain thresholds must be met before a DNA profile can be included in the humanitarian indices: There must be reasonable grounds to suspect the profile will assist in the investigation of a missing person or unidentified human remains, and other investigative procedures must have been tried and failed or are deemed unlikely to succeed.

Here’s how the NMPDP works, why it’s important, how it can help locate missing persons and its use in criminal cases.

–Roxanne Elaine Fleming, of N'Quatqua First Nation in , was the eldest of five. Born in 1964, she was placed into a non-First Nations home at four months old and adopted when she was two.

In 1981, when she was 17, Roxanne had a daughter named Candice. She planned to marry the father. In April 1982, when Candice was 5 months old, her father was killed in a work-related accident. Roxanne suffered “serious trauma and grief,” according to Candice’s testimony at the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in April 2018.

Soon after, the BC Ministry of Child and Family Development decided Roxanne was “unfit” to care for her daughter. She made a deal with the Ministry to save her daughter from foster care by arranging a transfer of guardianship to a close friend of Candice’s father. ⁣⁣⁣

Several months later, Roxanne vanished.

She was last seen Aug. 23, 1982, at the Lillooet District Hospital in Lillooet, BC, where she was treated for a broken finger. Despite unconfirmed sightings over the years, nobody knows exactly what happened after she left the hospital.

In October 2003 – over 21 years later – Roxanne’s adoptive family reported her missing to RCMP in BC. Candice was contacted by Langley RCMP that year; police published the first media release for Roxanne over a decade later.

The case was officially re-opened on Jan. 21, 2015, and RCMP released an age-enhanced photo showing how Roxanne might look at age 50.

Five months after Candice’s testimony at the Inquiry, she was contacted again by RCMP, who told her that Roxanne’s file had been transferred from Lillooet to Edmonton, and most significantly, that there was evidence she was alive in 1986-87 in .

In a 2018 interview with APTN News, Candice said that "WCB (Workers Compensation Board) had contact with her there." ⁣⁣

Roxanne Fleming would now be 56 years old. She is described as Indigenous, 5’1”-5’4” tall, 128 lbs with brown hair and brown eyes. She was known to spend time in Lillooet, Kamloops, Vancouver, Red Deer and .

Jason was known for helping his elderly neighbours with their groceries and lawn work. He’d shovel their snow in the winter. There was a neighbour who lived across the street who Jason had helped for years. ⁣
⁣
He was a Chief Scout for Scouts Canada and volunteered as a leader with the Boys and Girls Club at the Dartmouth North site. ⁣

- On July 19, 1971, 15-year-old Kathy Anne Lulloff ran into the dense brush along Seabrook Lake in the Algoma District of and disappeared. ⁣
⁣
According to a 1971 newspaper report in the Escanaba Daily Press, Kathy was from , , and had been hitchhiking in Canada when she ran off following a "quarrel" with "two young people." ⁣
⁣
The search for Kathy Lulloff spanned a 50-mile area surrounding the spot where she was last seen. She disappeared on a Monday; on Friday, three police divers searched Seabrook Lake. On Sunday, the search was called off. No sign of Kathy was ever found. At the time, police said she “might have just decided to move on,” but that the area was so dense that they "might have come within five feet of her and never seen her." ⁣
⁣
The details of Kathy’s life before she vanished are unknown. It’s unclear when and why she left Flint, and what relationship she had with the two people who identified her to police.

The RCMP reports her as missing from Thessalon, ON - approximately 122 km south of Seabrook Lake. There is no indication that she is reported missing in Michigan or elsewhere.

Kathy was last seen wearing a blue and green striped short-sleeve shirt, blue denim bell bottom pants, white canvas tennis shoes and a black belt with a brass buckle. She is described as 5'5" tall and 110 lbs with brown eyes and long brown hair.

Kathy Lulloff would be 64 years old this year. If you have any information about Kathy’s whereabouts or disappearance, please contact one of the agencies in this post. ⁣

— Just after 11 p.m. on July 18, 1999, a woman in , , called 911 to report the smell of smoke. The garage at the corner of 108A Avenue & 97th Street was burning. ⁣
⁣
The fire caused $10,000 in damage to the property, a vehicle and utility lines. It also took the life of an unidentified male, whose remains were discovered in the back of the building, burned beyond recognition.⁣
⁣
Edmonton John Doe was anywhere between 25 and 50 years old, but initial reports indicate that he appeared to be in his early 30s. He was 5’8” to 5’10” tall with a medium build, brown hair and visible gold teeth. He may have had a slightly deformed nose as a result of an old fracture on the right side.⁣
⁣
The man was wearing dark coloured button-fly pants, a blue sweater and a blue jacket. He was also found with a pillow and a blanket, suggesting he might have been living in the garage. The owner of the building had been out of the country at the time of the fire. ⁣
⁣
In September 1999, after failing to uncover any leads as to the man’s identity, Alberta Justice released this facial reconstruction sketch - one of the first times it had done so in nearly a decade. ⁣
⁣
More than a year later, in October 2000, the man was buried. Should there be any new leads, the medical examiner’s office has kept his DNA, X-rays and dental records for comparison. ⁣

– The Murder of Jason MacCullough // It’s a humid night in August in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. A group of friends gather for a party at a house on Joseph Young Street. Sometime after 1 a.m., 19-year-old Jason MacCullough decides to leave the party alone. It’s about a one kilometre walk to his parents’ home on Russell. He takes a shortcut through Highfield Park, a children’s playground connecting Joseph Young to Pinecrest. It’s a well-known and well-trod path. Jason has walked it before.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
At 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 28, 1999, Jason is shot in the back of the head at near point-blank range. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Residents of the duplexes surrounding the park hear the shot and sound of footsteps scatter. They call police. At 2:30 a.m., Jason’s body is found on the path, less than six blocks from his home. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Jason MacCullough was never involved in criminal activity. At the time, police said they had no motive, no suspects and few leads. His murder was, and is, considered to be a completely random act of violence. For investigators, these are among the most challenging types of crimes to solve – even moreso in communities like Dartmouth, where tension between the community and police have enforced what some consider a “code of silence.” ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
To understand the shock and senseless evil of Jason’s murder, you have to understand the person he was.
⁣⁣
Vanessa Clark is Jason’s cousin. She was 12 years old when he died. I spoke with Vanessa to learn about Jason, the investigation, the impact of his unsolved murder on the family, and his legacy in the Dartmouth community. ⁣
