P.E.I. police probe 28-year-old cold case

BANGOR, P.E.I. – Police are focusing their investigation into the disappearance of a Prince Edward Island woman 28 years ago on a family home.

Theresa Ann Gregory, who lived in the Bangor area, has not been seen since June 1982.

In a statement Tuesday, the RCMP said they will extend their probe through "examination and removal of the family home so that further investigation can take place within the structure and basement."

The Mounties say the home is located at 1989 Bangor Rd.

Last year, the 31-year-old woman’s family told police they had dug up clothing and other items in a nearby farmer’s field that they believed were Gregory’s.

Police later said the clothing, footwear and personal items were determined to be from the 1970s or 1980s, but forensic investigators were unable to get a DNA profile.

Bones have also been recovered from the same area as the clothing, but a forensic anthropologist determined they were from an animal.

Gregory was living with her husband Kenny Gregory and their two children when she disappeared.

Gregory’s husband committed suicide in 1992.

Last November, RCMP also turned to the public for help in solving the case.

As a result, investigators have said they received numerous tips.
