Sarah Rita Ovayuak was 24 when she was last seen in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, on September 15, 1967. Reports say she fell into the water while trying to board a Coast Guard vessel in the Tuktoyaktuk Harbour. At the time she was described as slender, 5 feet 2 inches and about 99 pounds, wearing a royal blue jacket and red pants.

There was reportedly no missing persons news release issued when she vanished, and official documentation and media attention from that period are scarce. Sarah was a survivor of the residential school system, and her daughter later attended residential school after Sarah disappeared. The circumstances remain unresolved and the case has received little public attention.

If anyone knew Sarah, her family, or was in Tuktoyaktuk in 1967, please share any information that might help fill in what happened.
