Update August 30 2009,
I’m sad to tell you all that 25 year old Joshua Douglas Hedrick’s remains were found in the Fraser River in Port Coquitlam. Joshua Douglas Hedrick was last seen at home on January 11, 2009. Hedrick left around 8:00 p.m. and hasn’t been seen, or heard from since. RCMP suspect he was murdered and have launched a homicide investigation.
RIP Joshua.

Jeffrey Surtel Last seen at midnight April 29 riding away from home on his bike
Earlier that night, the quiet teen had gone to a video store with his dad, to pick out a movie. They planned to watch it after his parents returned from a birthday party a few doors down, but when they got back, Jeff had decided he didn’t want to watch it. His parents went to bed, while Jeff stayed up watching television. When they woke up the next morning, Jeff’s bed was still made. His bike was gone; tire tracks led away from the shed where it was kept.

I am trying to find my father, his name is Stanley Biggs born in Jamaica. Last seen in British Columbia, Canada.
Hello Michelle, I am saddened to learn of your father’s disappearance.
Have you reported his disappearance to the police already? Do you have any photo’s of him? Any details of his last known whereabouts or the names or contact information of his friends co workers or employees?
I’d be happy to post his information for you on this blog. You can reach me at Hazel8500 dot hotmail dot com
Been updating this blog and this list. I am saddened to learn I can’t seem to get these men’s names up fast enough. Every time I turn around (Or so it seems) I’m learning of a new missing man.
If you’ve come here looking for information, I’ve added several links that hopefully will supply you with more info than I am able to compile at the moment.
If you are a family member or a friend of one of these missing men, my heart goes out to you. The only comfort I can offer is my dedication to keeping your boy’s names, faces and stories circulating.
No your loved ones will not be forgotten!!
Hazel.

Hi Debbie, that is odd.

$5,000 Reward offered for safe return
Eric Elle, age 60, disappeared on Monday September 7, 2008 around 2:20 pm. Eric was last seen at 7:30 am in Pocatello. Eric was last seen wearing khaki pants and a navy blue windbreaker. Eric is a State Motor Vehicle Investigator for the Idaho Department of Transportation.
