Date: 1989/01/08
RCMP File #:
1989-28607
It is the only case of its
kind in Canada: the disappearance of an entire family. On August 1,
1989, Ronald Jack was seen at the First Litre Pub with a
Caucasian
male, they left together. A relative later told police the man
offered he and his wife,
Doreen, jobs either at a logging camp or at
a ranch. At 1:30 am, August 2, 1989, at the Bednesti Cluculz Lake
area, Ronald phoned his mother. He said they would be gone for 10
days to 2 weeks. They were packing up some of their belongings and
those of their two boys,
nine year old Russell
and four year old
Ryan. It appeared the family had every intention of returning to
their home on Strathcona Ave at some point. They have not been seen
or heard from since. According to investigators, one of three things
could have happened: foul play, the family simply went off the road
and have not been discovered or they left voluntarily. However, they
are placing greater emphasis on the first option.
MISSING
ENTIRE JACK FAMILY
DOREEN JACK, her husband, Ronald and her two sons,
Russell, aged 9 and Ryan, aged 4, of BC.
It is the only case of
its kind in Canada; the disappearance of an entire family.
On
August 1, 1989, Ronald Jack was seen at the First Litre Pub with a
caucasian male. They left together.
A relative later told police
the man had offered he and his wife, Doreen, jobs at either a
logging camp or at a ranch. At 1:30 am, August 2, 1989, at the
Bednesti Cluculz Lake area, Ronald phoned his mother to give her the
good news. He told her they would be gone for 10 days to two weeks.
By all accounts, it appeared the family had every intention of
returning to their home at some point.
They have not been seen
or heard from again.
On January 28, 1996, around 8:33 in the
morning, an unidentified man called the Vanderhoof RCMP Detachment
and was patched through to the Prince George RCMP dispatch. The
voice said, "The Jack family are buried at the south of Gordie's
ranch."
The call, it was discovered, was placed from the
Stoney Creek area. A tape of the call was sent to the University of
British Columbia for analysis. The analysis revealed nothing of
value to the investigation. There had been a party at the residence
where the call had originated on the evening prior, as police had
been called to a complaints of a disturbance. However, interviews of
party goers revealed nothing.
According to investiagitors,
one of three things could have happened: foul play, the family
simply went off the road and have not been discovered or they left
voluntarily. However, they are placing greater emphasis on the first
option.
