The Family That Vanished



In 1989 an entire family would seemingly vanish into thin air, the only case of its kind in Canadian history. What caused an entire family to disappear? Or, perhaps more importantly: who?

  1. i lived in prince George for a year or two and it was quite common to hear someone was murdered. it was kind of talk about as a normal thing. which is horrifying

  2. As a foreigner living on the other side of the globe, I had no idea the Canadian government was this fucked as to go this far. This, coupled with the fact that an ENTIRE FAMILY went missing and it went unchecked for so long with occasional half asses attempts is baffling. The man on the phone is definitely involved in some way. I hope that it gets solved some day soon…

  3. No one gets away with anything – " it's appointed to man to die once . After that judgement " ….and no one is getting out of here alive . "Vengeance is mine says the Lord – I will repay " , "it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God " – these versus come to mind when I hear / read about events such as what's happened to this family . Unfortunately things only seem to be getting worse !
    You believe systematic racism is why this family didn't get the attention they should have/ that other people did . A handful of people in positions that control information is not systemic racism . I heard someone say " each of us has our own perception of reality . We get this perception from the information we take in Therefore those who control the information …control the people . " Now take a minute to think about who controls what information we are given ??? The wealthy , the elites , the illuminati, big corporations …I don't care what their called this small group has embedded themselves in many / most high positions and position of influence . They keep us divided , keep us like we are sheep …..and it seems there are a lot of people that are ok with that ……that is what I see .
    What is shows is similar to what took place in Germany in the 30's _45 . And I'm sure has taken place many times over in places all around the world – How so many people turn a blind eye and ear to what's going on around them . I don't believe most people are racist . What people are is easily deceived , naive , selfish , easily manipulated and one simple effective form of "mind control " if you will ..is to just repeat something over and over and over and this has been used very effectively in the past and is still being used very effectively today – all you have to do is turn on your TV (Or phone ) .

  4. fantastic narration. and truly a horror story. there is sickness in some ppl. unfortunately, some get discovered through a very different crime. the police really do not do their job.

  5. My first time listening to your channel. My son and I both love true crime mysteries and he recommended I watch this. We’re also Native from the US so this hits home for us. I know of several women that have gone missing or were found murdered and nothing has or was done in their cases because of their ancestry. I thank you for bringing up the history of generational trauma caused by the boarding schools. I’m third generation sent to one of these schools back in the 80’s. I however made a promise that I would never send my children to one of these horrible places if I ever had children and I’ve since kept that promise. Definitely subscribing and looking forward to watching all of your videos.

  6. When that officer siad all the paper work gets sent to a black hole I scoffed at it the only black hole that exists is the trash can they put more work on who spit on the side walk then a missing person from first nations but when one of their "own" they have all the police up in arms within 10 milliseconds all of Canada would know in 10 min or less

  7. Thank you for giving us a voice as well and talking about this case. It’s bothered me and always will. I’m lakota and we have so many of our own being taken from us. Thank you

  8. I’m sorry but this family is really dumb. Also I’m sure these people who go missing on this highway are probably trafficked not just killed by some serial killer

  9. What is this documentary about??

    What’s the highway got to do with the fact that the head of the family made a stupid judgement of error in trusting a stranger and packing up and leaving with his entire family with this random stranger?

    Am I missing something??

  10. Your video popped up on my feed and I am so glad it did! This was simply excellent from the attention to detail that comes with in-depth research, exposing the apathy towards indigenous cases, and the perfect narration. I am now subscribed and will be binge watching your other videos!

  11. Unfortunately, I think Ronnie worked together to do something stupid. From what I’ve read, their marriage wasn’t exactly happy. Is it possible that Doreen told Ronnie if he didn’t get it together, she was leaving with the boys?

  12. I m sry but how stupid can rony be to invite a man he just met to his house AND accept to bring HIS whole familly just because he said he had a job for him??!! For all we know,that guy could be a serial killer or worst,a ploy for organ harvesting
