Details About Janice’s Case: On the night of Friday, August 28, 1992, 35-year old Janice left her parents’ home in Fort Garry driving her father’s blue 1985 Oldsmobile Ciera. She has never been seen or heard from again. At 11:30 pm. Janice had just come home from work and had taken her father’s car out for a drive to relax and unwind. It is unknown if she had any plans to meet anyone however, no one recalls seeing her and she never returned home. Her parents subsequently contacted the Missing Person’s Unit and notice was circulated about her disappearance.
At 10:10 am the following morning (Saturday, August 29), an Ontario Provincial Police Officer looking for an injured deer, found the 1985 Oldsmobile Cierra that Janice had been driving parked off the side of the road, 19 miles east of Kenora, Ontario. There were no obvious signs that an assault had occurred in the car; however, the rear floor mats and a 4’ x 8’ tarp from the trunk were missing. As Janice’s father had just filled the car up with gas and recorded the mileage for gas consumption purposes before his daughter took it for a drive, police investigators know that the car had been driven for almost 550 kilometers before being abandoned outside of Kenora.
As Kenora is just over 200 km from Winnipeg, the car had travelled an additional 300 kms further than the trip to Kenora would indicate. Based on the mile and the items missing from the car, foul play is a possibility, however, Janice’s body was never found.
