SASKATOON – After a Surrey, B.C. woman miraculously surfaced more than 50 years after she first went missing, many Saskatchewan families have once again been given a dollop of hope.
Desmond Wolfe would have celebrated his birthday on Monday. Instead, he sat solemnly in his apartment making only one wish – the safe return of his sister, Karina.
Since she went missing three years ago, he and his mother have devoted their lives to searching for her.
“As long as we don’t know where she is, we’re not going to stop looking. That’s just the bottom line because that’s my blood. That’s my best friend – my sister,” said Wolfe.
Karina would have turned 23 this year, but since her disappearance in July 2010, she has had no contact with family or friends.
“It’s difficult. Really difficult. If I didn’t know what to do about anything, my sister would be the person I would turn to,” he said.
The investigation into her whereabouts remains a priority for Saskatoon Police, who continue to urge people to come forward with any tips they may have in her case, as well as others.
They currently have about a dozen missing persons investigations on their plate – the oldest one dating back to 1953.
“The cases are actually reviewed annually and that’s one of the things we don’t like about the term cold case. They are never cold,” said Alyson Edwards with the Saskatoon Police Service.
