In the early morning hours of April 21, 1979, in the northern Saskatchewan community of La Loche, 14-year-old Myrna Montgrand vanished. A member of the Dene Nation, Myrna was a young girl known for her fun and loving nature. She was a dedicated student who also spent a great deal of her time helping her family, especially by babysitting her young nieces. The night she disappeared, Myrna had been at a party with a group of people. Her sister, Dora LaPrise, saw her that evening and urged her to go to their mother's house, which was not far away. Myrna, however, did not want to go home. She was last seen at approximately 5:00 a.m. outside a residence in La Loche. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and rubber boots. When Myrna failed to return home the next day, her mother went to Dora's house to see if she was there. Realizing she was missing, they promptly reported her disappearance to the police. Initially, the family was told that she was likely just out with friends and would eventually come back. But as time stretched on with no word from Myrna, her mother began a desperate search, walking through the bush and looking everywhere for her daughter. This heart-wrenching search continued for the rest of her mother's life, who sadly passed away without ever knowing what happened to her child. The family's pursuit for answers did not end there; Myrna's sister, and a niece named in her honor, have continued the search, driven by love and the hope of one day bringing her home. The family's long and painful journey has been marked by frustration and a feeling that the investigation has not been treated with the seriousness it deserves. A significant lead emerged when a man in the community told Myrna's sister that around the time she went missing, he heard a girl screaming for her mom near a construction site. This has led the family to believe Myrna's remains may be located under a bar and garage that were subsequently built on that very site, and they have expressed their wish for the area to be excavated. Decades have passed, yet the case of Myrna Montgrand remains an open investigation, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) consider her disappearance to be suspicious. The lack of resolution has left a profound void in the lives of her loved ones, who continue to advocate for her and seek the answers that have eluded them for so long.
