Or … I’m afraid to finish that sentence … is this information helpful ?

Some times bodies were hidden or the murder occurred in a very rural area. But then again 49 women disappeared from the DTES and not much was done to find them. The police just didn’t seem to think it was worth their time to look for women who they did not consider up to the “standards of the day”.
It is interesting her family did not hire a private investigator to look for her or find out what happened at the time. I do recall Kaban was hired to look for some women over the years. One was a woman from Richmond.
Was she still employed by P.W.A. at the time of the disappearnce? Were her collegues ever interviewed. During that time period most air line “gossip” made the rounds and there were also regular “parties” sponsored by the air lines in night clubs, before they opened to the pubic. They were a hell of a good time. Another question comes to mind, did PWA actually know because I do recall a flight attendant with another airline was having spousal problems and the air line transferred her to another country along with her young child.
Did anyone contact the Union for the flight attendants to see if they had any information or flight attendants who worked during this time period. I had a school friend who was working for PWA, as a flight attendant, during this time and gossip was always around. I actually knew 3 people who worked at PWA during that time period and a number at CP Air. Back in the day air lines employed a lot of people.
As to not having a body, I do recall back in the day, a man disappeared. They searched all over the place and when they couldn’t find him after some time, they abandoned looking for him. Some time after that they found his body by the Granville St. bridge in the shrubbery. He’d been there for some time. At the time they thought he might have been hit by a vehicle.
In 1981 Greater Vancouver was still a “small city” and lots of people knew each other–it wasn’t 6 degrees of seperation, it was more like 2 or 3. This disappearance did not happen in a vacum. People would have known her, even if her family didn’t keep in contact. It would be interesting to find some of the flight attendants from 1981. Some one might have information which could help. It might be worth seeing if one of the t.v. stations wants to do a small segment on this for their news so retired flight attendants would be informed and might contact you.
I don’t recall hearing or reading anything at that time, although it was a busy time for me. Don’t think anybody really knew about the disappearance or if it was a murder no one was talking about it. Amongst some groups of people back in the day, there weren’t many secrets in Vancouver or B.C. for that matter because it was so small, well not much of a population and in some circles every one knew everyone, if only by reputation.
Enjoyed your book. Remember a lot of the cases, especially the one regarding the woman whose body was found on a vacant lot, I think it was around Christmas. Never forgot that case.

Can’t find any connection to the name “McKenzie” in her family. Could it be her married name? Her maternal uncle died in April, 1981 & her father died in 1982.
Her mother had a large family- (Wortendyke)& passed away in 2013. So surprised that her ex husband wasn’t a suspect.
