In the autumn of 2014, a 26-year-old Indigenous man named Colten Stephen Pratt vanished from Winnipeg, Manitoba, leaving his family in a state of unending uncertainty. His last confirmed location was the Marlborough Hotel in downtown Winnipeg on the evening of November 6, 2014. That night, he sent a photo of himself to his mother, a final image before communication ceased. Colten, who is described as being 5'10" and approximately 160 pounds with short brown hair and brown eyes, was last seen wearing a brown plaid jacket with blue jeans. He has a distinctive star tattoo behind each of his ears. His family remembers him as a cheeky, sweet, and quirky individual. A member of the Long Plain First Nation, Colten was living in Winnipeg at the time of his disappearance and had aspirations of working in the media and film industry. The timeline of Colten's last known movements extends into the early hours of the next day. After leaving the hotel around 9:30 p.m., there was a possible sighting of him at a bus shelter at the corner of Main Street and Redwood Avenue between 12:20 a.m. and 1:45 a.m. on November 7. Police later obtained video footage from this location which they believe shows Colten interacting with at least two other people. In the course of their investigation, authorities also released images of a potential witness who was seen wearing a Mondetta jacket, hoping to gather more information. The phone used to send the last photo to his mother was eventually found downtown. Despite these leads, the investigation into his disappearance remains active and ongoing, with police renewing calls for information from the public years after he was last seen. The years following Colten's disappearance have been a painful journey for his loved ones. His mother, Lydia Daniels, has described the experience of not knowing her son's fate as a "special type of hell." The family has tirelessly worked to keep his memory alive and to search for answers, organizing vigils, putting up posters, using social media, and even securing space on billboards to display his missing person poster. His cousin produced a film to portray Colten as a human being rather than a statistic, highlighting his personality and the challenges he faced, including racism and bullying for his two-spirit identity. The case of Colten Pratt is a haunting story of a young man who vanished, leaving a family grappling with ambiguous loss. The investigation has yielded some clues, such as the potential sighting at the bus shelter and an encounter with unknown individuals, but concrete answers about what happened to him after he left the hotel remain elusive. His family continues to plead for anyone with information to come forward, holding onto hope for closure.
