Prince George, Missing Person

File # 1989-26607
August 2, 2024 marked the 35-year anniversary of the disappearance of four members of the Jack family. Doreen, Ronald, Ryan and Russell were reported missing after failing to return from an alleged job opportunity Ronald had west of Prince George. The circumstances of their disappearance are largely unknown, despite the hours of investigation that have been ongoing since 1989.
This is the type of investigation that relies heavily on what we can learn from the public. It is unlike investigations today where we can track people using their digital footprint. There is no surveillance to review, no banking records to follow or cell phone records to examine. There is little that would give us a clue as to where the Jack family went after they were last seen,
states Sgt. Aaron Whitehouse, commander of the Serious Crime Unit.
That is not to say there are no investigational steps to be taken, however. Prince George RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit has a dedicated investigator attached to the search, who continues to follow up on all verifiable tips received from the public. This work involves examining original file material against new tips. Many of the tips received today were already thoroughly investigated before.
As with all missing persons investigations, this investigation will remain open until such time as the Jack family is located. Prince George RCMP continues to work in collaboration with our law enforcement partners, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal agencies, and the public on this case and continues to encourage community support in bringing forward new information for investigation.
