Sad, angelburst29, cause we are both putting missing people on this thread at the same time.
And unfortunately, here are a couple of odd stories. One was missing and now just found and the other is still missing. Heart wrenching for the families is an understatement and the evidence may lead somewhere else, yet it seems off.
This first case is of Alison Leanne Raspa of Australia who was working at a ski resort, Whistler, in the mountains north of Vancouver, BC. On the date of November 23rd, 2018, she went missing and she has since just today been found.
Facts are hard to assess as they remain outside the public preview and most of the articles say very little, even today when she was found, other than the RCMP don't see it as a crime, or so they saying yet not why.
This link gives you the basics and there is a little video with overlaid points as to when when and where she went missing back in November.
Here is what I get: http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/police-reveal-australian-missing-in-whistler-sent-final-desperate-text-messages-to-friends/news-story/401d7a905742eee543d629366cfcb1b2
1. Alison left a bar, the 'Three Below Bar' on the night of Nov. 22 - assuming just before midnight.
2. She has not been seen till just after midnight.
3. Rumors had it that there was an altercation outside the bar/restaurant which was later dismissed from an employee who was there and said nothing of the sort happened.
4. Between the time she left and around 1:00 am she somehow went about 7km to the Alpha Lake Park.
5. Why 1:00 am, apparently, some friends received texts from her saying she was lost; these friends might have been in Australia, not sure, however, no one seemed to do anything about it regardless. The texts have not been provided as evidence.
6 . Why there at Alpha Lake Park? They know this because "Her jacket, backpack and wallet were found in the same area by a local later that day."
7. That day (in the morning after she failed to report for her work shift) she was reported missing and a search took place and was stepped up in earnest after her items were found.
8. The news (various Canadian sites) echo the statements that sometimes people take off their coats when they get hypothermia (possible).
9. The search became intense with underwater divers in the lake, sonar, search and rescue, fire and police and volunteers - noting day after day. Her family arrived and joined in the search.
10. "The search to date (has) been extensive and has circumnavigated the park, lakes, as well as the road/trails/parkades leaving from the village to Alpha Lake Park. At this point all available leads have been exhausted." https://www.piquenewsmagazine.com/whistler/police-suspend-ground-search-for-missing-australian-woman/Content?oid=5866520
11. It seems the search was called off around December 5th with the family continuing with a small party.
12. In the video you can see very little snow, and the temps might have been hovering to a low of -5 c.
Here is a block of text:
13. “Her cell phone was located by another citizen in Alpha Lake Park.”
14. A point to make: "Police have refused to say whether Ms Raspa was intoxicated when she left the Three Below bar and owner Priyanka Kathuria declined to be interviewed while the investigation is ongoing."
15. Another few points to add: {people not revealed said} "They included claims she had been “upset” by “something that happened at work” before going missing." and "Police are looking through the camera footage where Alison works so they can observe her on a day-to-day basis in the days before she disappeared,” the insider said.
16. A physical point to add: "They had believed Ms Raspa would be safe travelling on her own thanks to her expertise in Kung Fu. She had a Black Belt.

17. "On Friday evening, police say they received a report of human remains at one end of partially frozen Alpha Lake which turned out to be Raspa's."
18. "Police say a cause of death has not been confirmed, but the death does not appear to be suspicious."
I don't know what to say with missing data, and from the polices statement (18) which they are basically saying there is nothing to see hear, she went in the lake or something and she has been found. This may sync with other evidence from people who know more about her state of mind following the bar, and they are not saying how she got 7 km away or why she would in the middle of winter. They are not saying how, given the such a search day after day she was not located. The Lake, Alpha Lake is not deep (max 12 m) and not big
(2.9 km. perimeter) http://www.sharphooks.com/tripplanner.aspx?subpage=lakeinfo&lake=alpha+lake&lakeid=6 Much of the lake is shallow with only a couple of 3 spots shown at 9m.
I can't really say anything else.
May Alison rest in peace.
This one is not that far away from where Alison was, being also in the province of BC and also at a ski resort. This is of Ryan Shtuka of Alberta who was working at Sun Peaks and "mysteriously disappeared."

His mom said: "He's not one of those kids, he's not a kid he's a man, he's not one of those ones that would just go off and certainly not tell us where he was, he was here for a purpose and he was happy doing what he was doing here."
The canines are pretty good knowing how the avalanche dogs work (they can sense in deep snow), and the search area would have been small (5 minute walk) and yet at the time it was super cold and snowy.
To date Ryan has not been found.
May Ryan be found somewhere safe for the family!

“At approximately 1.15am, Ms Raspa texted some of her friends to confirm she was lost. {nothing verifies this yet}

This one is not that far away from where Alison was, being also in the province of BC and also at a ski resort. This is of Ryan Shtuka of Alberta who was working at Sun Peaks and "mysteriously disappeared."
http://cfjctoday.com/article/610130/mother-makes-emotional-plea-information-missing-son
The 20 year old, who moved to the mountain ski resort just a few months ago to work the winter season, went missing early Saturday morning after leaving a house party just minutes from where he lived. - February 17 was the last time anyone saw Ryan Shtuka.
His mom said: "He's not one of those kids, he's not a kid he's a man, he's not one of those ones that would just go off and certainly not tell us where he was, he was here for a purpose and he was happy doing what he was doing here."
Tuesday morning, the RCMP's canine unit conducted a major ground search as well, and the police helicopter has been active canvassing the area from the skies. But with plummeting temperatures and heavy snow...
Ryan hasn't used his cellphone or been active on social media since he disappeared. The Shtuka family is appealing to anyone who may have information on Ryan's whereabouts, to come forward.
The canines are pretty good knowing how the avalanche dogs work (they can sense in deep snow), and the search area would have been small (5 minute walk) and yet at the time it was super cold and snowy.
To date Ryan has not been found.
May Ryan be found somewhere safe for the family!
