In the spring of 2013, the family of 58-year-old Lorraine Roach was thrown into a state of deep concern that would stretch into years of unanswered questions. The last time she was reportedly seen by her husband was in the early morning hours at their home in Selwyn Township, near Peterborough, Ontario. According to her husband's account, she was upset over a family matter and left, saying she was going to a local casino, which she never arrived at. Her daughter first realized she was missing when she tried to call her on Mother's Day and received no response. A few days later, Lorraine's minivan was discovered abandoned on the side of Ackison Road, near the entrance to a walking trail, about seven kilometers from her home. The discovery of the abandoned vehicle triggered an extensive search effort by the Ontario Provincial Police. Investigators utilized helicopters, all-terrain vehicles, canine units, and canoes to scour the heavily wooded areas and waterways near where the van was found, but the searches yielded no trace of Lorraine. As the investigation progressed, police began to suspect foul play was involved in her disappearance. A year after she went missing, the case was reclassified and acknowledged as a criminal investigation, with police stating they believe someone holds the key to solving the mystery. Despite these efforts and a subsequent search of her home, no significant breakthroughs have been made public. The years have passed, and the case of Lorraine Roach has grown cold, though it remains an active investigation. For her family, the lack of answers is a source of unending pain and heartbreak. In an effort to generate new leads, the OPP has offered a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for her disappearance. Although she was legally declared deceased in 2023, her family continues to hold out hope for justice and closure. The overview of this case is one of profound and sudden loss, marked by puzzling circumstances and a lack of evidence that has left both her loved ones and investigators searching for the truth of what happened to Lorraine Roach after she left her home that May morning.
