In the late spring of 2008, a 43-year-old man named Wilson Grant Nokohood vanished from the city of Regina, Saskatchewan. He was last seen on May 30th in the 1800 block of Smith Street. There was no description of the clothing he was wearing at the time of his disappearance, leaving a void in the initial stages of the investigation. Wilson was a man with distinct features; a scar on his forehead and both forearms, a pierced left ear, and several tattoos, including a heart with feathers on his
chest, a dream catcher on his left upper arm, and a rose on his right forearm. He was also missing some teeth. His disappearance was described as unusual, as he was known to maintain regular contact with his family and acquaintances.
The official missing person report was not filed until August of that year, a few months after he was last seen. The catalyst for his family's formal report was his failure to collect cheques from a trust fund. This fund had been established as compensation for his time at Gordon's Indian Residential School, a detail that adds a layer of sorrow to his story. His absence from this important financial matter was a significant red flag for his loved ones, confirming their fears that something was amiss. The months between his last sighting and the official report marked a period of growing concern and unanswered questions for his family.
Investigators followed up on various tips and leads from the community, but unfortunately, none of them led to a breakthrough in the case. His family expressed their belief that he may have become involved with the wrong crowd, a sentiment that speaks to their deep worry for his well-being. By 2009, Wilson's case was added to a list of over 200 open cold case files being handled by police forces in Saskatchewan. The lack of new information has left his case unsolved, a lingering uncertainty for his family and community. The investigation into what happened to Wilson Grant Nokohood remains open, a quiet but persistent search for answers in a story that has been without a final chapter for many years.Last Seen: May 22, 2008
