In the early winter of 1989, a young Indigenous woman named Ernestine Kasyon vanished from the streets of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, leaving behind a family searching for answers that have not come for decades. On December 6, the 26-year-old was last seen after leaving a residence to make a call from a payphone located on the 100 Block of 10th Street East. Originally from Stony Rapids and with roots in the Black Lake First Nation, Ernestine was described by her family as a kind and happy-go-lucky person who always dressed nicely. At the time of her disappearance, she stood approximately five feet two inches tall, with a slender build, brown eyes, and black hair. Her life before she went missing included a recent separation from her husband, and some family members believe she may have been struggling with personal challenges. The circumstances of Ernestine's disappearance were immediately alarming and suggested a sinister turn of events. When she did not return from the payphone after a prolonged period, her cousin went to look for her. At the scene, he made a heart-stopping discovery: Ernestine’s purse was lying on the ground, and the telephone receiver was ominously dangling off the hook. Ernestine, however, was nowhere in sight. This chilling scene was the last trace of her whereabouts, marking the beginning of an enduring mystery. The Prince Albert Police Service quickly suspected foul play in her disappearance and opened an investigation that would span generations. Over the years, the investigation into Ernestine Kasyon's case has become a historic and painful puzzle for both her loved ones and law enforcement. Despite the passage of time, the police continue to actively investigate her disappearance and have periodically appealed to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough. The family's grief has been complicated by unconfirmed reports; a cousin stated in an interview that Ernestine's skull was found around 2009 and identified through dental records, but police have not publicly verified this finding, and her official status remains that of a missing person. The lack of definitive answers has left her family in a state of limbo, unable to find closure. The case of Ernestine Kasyon is a somber reminder of the ongoing tragedy of missing and murdered Indigenous women, leaving a legacy of unanswered questions and a family that still longs to bring her home.
