Hey everyone, I was rereading some older missing person cases and got curious about Rufus Sylvester Standingribbon from Spirit River, Alberta. It's baffling how people can just vanish without leaving much of a trail. I wanted to open up a discussion about the role of hitchhiking back in the late ‘90s. I know in some places it was more common then, but it still seems risky. Does anyone from that area remember if there were specific routes or highways folks would usually take? Could understanding his typical hitchhiking spots potentially shed any light on where Rufus might have been heading? Just a thought. It’s cases like his that remind me how crucial it is to revisit the little details that might have been overlooked. Thoughts? ?
