Details: Ywanna “Jean” Backman was last seen by a friend on October 15, 2023 (some sources say October 13, 2023). The next day, firewood was delivered to her remote rural residence near Piney, Manitoba. Her vehicle was there, but she was not. Her personal items were left in her residence, along with her dentures, and she appears to have been preparing breakfast, as bread was in the toaster, and eggs were on the countertop. Jean lives alone with no cell phone or computer.
At 10:30 am on October 19, 2023, Sprague RCMP received a request to check on Jean’s wellbeing. Officers attended, searched her property and residence in the RM of Piney, but were unable to locate her.
Over the weekend of October 20 to October 23, RCMP units including Search and Rescue (SAR), Police Dog Services (PDS), Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), along with the Office of the Fire Commissioner, the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), volunteers from Winnipeg Search and Rescue as well as residents from the surrounding area, conducted an extensive ground search.
