Linda Louise Grant is my birth mother. I never knew her as I was adopted as a baby. I found my birth family 6 years ago, and found out about the missing women. So far they have not found anything on my mother. I still have hopes of finding her, though I know that will probably not happen. My heart goes out to all the family's of the women who have been found on the farm. As well as to those who still don't know where their loved ones are. Keep hope in your hearts. If anyone has any information about my birth mother, or even knew her at some point, please email me as I would love to know her through others...not just the family. I will keep praying for all the women who are missing. My email addy is breezybh@yahoo.ca Briana

My thoughts are with those who have lost family members. I feel the police never did their jobs, this went on for far too long, and perhaps some lives could have been saved! as Far as Willy Pickton goes, I hope he never has a moments piece, I also wish they would put him in the general public and let the inmates take care of him. He is not worth protecting. God Bless all of you out there! And to those who hitchhike STOP IT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS GOING TO PICK YOU UP!!!!!

My Michelle, my dear Michelle, where are you? Do you remember when I would take you to Stanley Park in your pretty pink dress and feed the Squirrels? Remember how we would sit at a coffee shop sipping chocolate milk from fancy glasses and seeing who could make the most bubbles? To me you are my beautiful little niece, so full of smiles after a full day falling asleep as we watched a silly movie. I would brush your blonde hair away from your forward as you were always so warm when you slept, sometimes you would pat my hand, others times you would whisper something . I never could hear what you would whisper and now I would give my life to have you whisper it. How I wish I could protect you and brush the hair away from your forehead, just to watch you sleep - God , what would that take? What can I give to bring my Michelle back to me? I have given you buckets of tears, screams of anguish, a million prayers, please take me to where she is , I need to hear her whisper. I love you Michelle Caroline Choiniere, I miss you.

Willy Pickton knows what he has done. There has been DNA found on the farm of some missing women and no charges laid for whatever the reasons. WHY doesn't this guy just fess up? WHEN and i mean WHEN he is convicted of the grisly crimes he won't see the light of day anyway. Why not just fess up to all he knows and let these families put their loved ones to rest. Let them have closure.

My heart goes out to all the families of the missing all over B.C. and Canada for that matter. It's strange how so much of this has been close to me . I lived in Revelstoke most of my life and knew Dwayne Johnston (convicted of murdering Helen Betty Osbourne in La Pas Manitoba) who would have known? Then now knowing that someone else that was in my life is now missing. From what I understand DNA was found on the Pickton Farm that matched the girl that I once called my niece's far as I know no charges have been laid. I'm out of touch with that family now ,but still shed tears. It truly is a small world but in such a terrible way.

I read Maggie de Vries' book "Missing Sarah" over a year ago for a class at the University. I was extremely happy to find that there is an ongoing awareness about all of the missing women in Vancouver's lower-east side. There are many cases of missing women being reported in Edmonton, as well, and it just enrages me when people believe that all of these women are subhuman. We are all children; we are all connected. This site is proof of that to whomever would believe otherwise. I hope this site remains updated whenever possible, and also I hope it continues to spread awareness through not only British Columbia, but nation-wide.

I hope that Pickton tells all he knows about those still missing and unaccounted for. I can well imagine how hard it is for the families. All of you have tremendous grace and dignity and I admire you all tremendously and think of you often, though I don't know you and I have never been to Vancouver. For some people, life is so unfair and it is very sad to read about what happened to those who had their whole lives ahead of them. For Maggie DeVries, I am so sorry about your lovely sister Sarah. She was obviously a very special person. I am going to purchase your book. It is a wonderful tribute to your sister.

I have been following the story, it has made me very sad, angry. Willy Pickton, who has been preying upon these women is a mean ugly, murdering dog, where does he come from anyways, I know two of these women, I am not ashamed of them, at one time or another, I probably spoke or went to school with, namely, Michelle Gurney and Rebecca Guno, I will say a prayer for all the women on this site. The Nisga a Nation has lost these members and more, time to speak up and be strong. I would also like to remember my auntie Mary Hill, who was found on the side of Highway 16,just outside of Prince Rupert, B.C. Without our mothers and aunties our nations become weak. We must all stand up and be counted, we will not be wiped out, we are striving to live our lives. Mankind has to learn how to get along with each others. All we have is our hopes and prayers for all the families who have lost their loved ones. Take care one and all.

I live in Australia and am appalled that so many women can be missing and linked to that hellhole and nothing is being done about it. Where is the uproar? These are women, not lost animals, they may have lost there way at times but who hasn't? Nobody deserves that fate and the families deserve to know what happened to their loved ones. I pray they are at peace now and are being treated better now then when they were alive. The lesson here is not to forget but to look out for the women that are in the same position and try to stop this from ever happing again.

I think this man and whoever else is involved is a very sick man. These people have friends and family that care so much about them. I knew Diana Melnick in School. Went to school with her for years till she moved to Vancouver and I heard from her a couple times then never heard anything about her or from her till I looked up the pics of the missing women and they found her DNA on the Pickton farm. I think this man is very sick and does not deserve to live....

In 1983 at a local hangout for teens, I watched a young blonde girl as she was walking with her friends. I was jealous. She was so pretty. They were meeting up with guys my friend and I had hoped to hook up with. She dated one who started beating her and got her hooked on drugs. She was with him for 5 years with the abuse taking its toll. The last I heard she dated another guy for a bit then disappeared. Unbeknownst to me, she ended up in downtown Vancouver’s East Side. She was 19 or 20. Last year, I read an article in the Timmins Times that said she may have been one of the victims of Robert & Dave Pickton. She's been missing since March 1995. It’s safe to say she lived the life of a prostitute to maintain her drug addiction. I still envision her walking down the street that day. Young, carefree, not a care in the world. It saddens me that she ended up in the clutches of madmen because of the circumstances of her life. What if she never met the guy who beat her and got her addicted to drugs? Where would she be now if she hadn’t gotten involved with him? I can’t get this young woman out of my mind. This could have been me. I was told she had an abusive childhood which will sometimes dictate decisions you make. Deep in my gut I know she has befallen the same fate as the other ladies pictured on this site. When I saw her picture it was like looking at a totally different person. Her eyes showed the sadness and pain life meted out to her, a sad acceptance of her circumstances. Gone was the beautiful, blonde hair and in its place a shell of her former self; a picture of someone there in body, not in mind, spirit broken. It still haunts me when I look at it. The public forgets there are people on the street fighting, scraping and doing whatever it takes to survive; regardless of drug addiction, mental disorder, abuse at home or whatever it is that lands them on the streets, these people need our help, not be ostracized from society. We all make choices in life and unfortunately these were the choices left remaining for these women. I write this because I don’t want anyone to forget her. Her name was Cathy Gonzales and she would have been 37 today. Even though we weren’t close friends, I’ll never forget this beautiful woman. Cathy, may you have finally found peace with your place in heaven. Life has forsaken you but I haven’t and hopefully others haven’t either.

Dear Sheila E., I am writing this letter with the hopes that you may still be alive, and that you will get a chance to read it one day. In some ways, it seems as though the days we spent together in Britannia Beach occurred just yesterday. We were young and naive, but I really thought that I was going to marry you for you were the first one that I had consented to. Remember how your mom wanted me to marry your sister, and how we used to pick on "Oh Henry"? What about when I used to sing those New Kids on the Block songs outside of your bedroom window? Seems silly when I look back, but in actual fact, those were some of the best days because it diverted my attention from the chaos we both experienced elsewhere. It wasn't long after that night in the basement that I wound up in the concrete jungle whackin smack, trickin, and shit. I wander whatever happened to people like Jose, Surferboy, Styx, Batman, Denise, Crystal, Ester and others. It's amazing how I still remember their names. You were all family to me and I felt guilty when I got out, but I had to. Remember how we used to say that once you ended up here you'd never leave? It's ten years later and I finally know what that means. Physically I left, but mentally I can't. Still having the nightmares and flashbacks - even without dope for eight and half years. The last time I saw you was in Maple Ridge in '97. Remember, I was walking from treatment and passed you at the arcade. We hugged, you said there was shit going down, and we'd hook-up later sometime. I wish I had done something. The guys I was with gave me a lot of flack because I wasn't supposed to talk to anyone from outside, but I didn't care. Time went on and I didn't hear from you. The next time I saw your face was in a police station on a poster. They didn't listen to me, and didn't seem to care much then. I hope things have since changed. I got three kids now - who aren't afraid of me - doing alright, getting educated - I can read now - but somehow I feel like I gotta do something about that shit hole that took us all. Seems like the same thing going on, just a lot of different people now. If your alive then we gotta hook-up. I don't like goodbyes... Love Josh

I could easily have been one of these woman. Dead and wasted. They all had so much to offer the world. They had a chance to get well, to be part of the solution, to dream, to love, to be loved. That choice was so brutally taken from them. Who knows what beauty has been lost to us all now. As Sarah said, lost angels. I have 13 years clean now. I have friends, family, a home. I am loved and I love back. I can give to others what I have learned. I can save lives with what I know. All of these beautiful lost angels could have had, should have had, the chance to do the same. So many lives touched so horribly. It could have all been so different, had they been given the chance to live. People forget that these woman are loved by someone, grieved by someone, missed by someone, valued by someone, just as deeply as you love yours. They were all someone's beautiful child, mother, sister, wife....angel. They deserved so much more than to be left so alone on a monsters farm. They will always be in my prayerful thoughts, as will their loved ones. Go well, beautiful angels. We have lost you, but, we will not forget you.

Many native men have been given this tour and have been dropped off on the outskirt of the city in

For an Interesting read, you should check out the website www.neil.stonechild.inqiry.com ( I think thats the address, if not, a search engine will help you)We in Canada have to stand up and stop these corrupt police departments from letting such atrocities towards our friends, lovers, family members, ever happen again.

I hope that many people will visit it and that maybe sometime very soon, that the plight of the people living in Vancouver's eastside will be noticed by those who can and will do something improving the conditions there. I do not have the words in my vocabulary to describe what I think of all this, it is so overwhelming. However my heart goes out to the friends and families of these vanished ladies. May they find some peace in their lives very soon.
Love, Anne

Wednesday, October 06, 2004

At least eight new names are expected to be added today to the list of women missing from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, bringing the total to 69.

Staff-Sgt. Murray Lund of the RCMP-Vancouver police missing women task force has told the families of several missing women that police will issue a new poster today with names and faces of women who have not previously been on the official list.

Port Coquitlam pig farmer Robert Pickton, 53, faces 22 counts of first-degree murder in connection with the missing women.

Dear Maggie,
I just finished reading your book about your sister and I can't tell you how much it moved me. My husband is a police officer in the city of Calgary and works in the "hard core" area of forest lawn where our notorious "stroll" is located. My husband is actively involved in "cleaning up" the residential area and is currently working with prostitutes in the area and is familiar with all of them on how to improve their lives as well as the residents of the neighborhood. He is all too familiar with their situations which parallel your sisters. Both of us would like to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family for your tragic loss. Both my husband and I agree with your statement that these women are not just prostitutes, they are peoples daughters, mothers and sisters. I will be suggesting to the Calgary Police Services Learning centre that they should be incorporating your book in their recruit teachings as an educational tool to look upon these women as people and not simply just "working girls" that they need to move along. Please let me know if this will be ok with you as I feel your book is not only inspiring but educational as well. I find that the new recruits will most likely develop a novel sensitivity to these women's situations and lifestyle complexities.
You truly are an inspiration and I can't tell you how horrible I feel that you, your family, and most importantly sarah, had to go through this ordeal. She sounds like she was an amazing person who was deeply loved by all who came into her life. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerly,
Jennifer Macumber

My sister disappeared in Canada in 1983. She previously traveled through California and through Canada. The last place we heard from her was Moose Jaw, Sask.
It took me over 18 years to have her finally declared as missing. The United States said she disappeared in Canada, so they wouldn't take the report and Canada said she was a US citizen (Though we know she was in Canada at least 2 years before her disappearance) and wouldn't take the report.
Finally after years(17) of trying and retrying, the Moose Jaw police finally listed her as missing. The Hometown address I have here is a link to my sister missing person page. I know she had a drug problem and was mentally ill, perfect victim. I also know she kept in contact, no matter where she was or how long she was gone, she never ever forgot a birthday or just a card to say hello and that she missed and loved us, and always telling us she was doing fine, as she did not want our mother to worry. That all stopped, all the cards, the phone calls, stopped, in 1983. I believe my sister is dead, I believe her remains are in Canada...In fact, she may be one of the victims in Vancouver...I just never seem to get anyone who really can help..

Thanks for this site..Thanks for listening..

It is 21 years now and still our family will never be whole again, we have buried our mother, she died never knowing what happened to her daughter, for me Mary was my big sister, she taught me to dance, fix my hair, showed me how to put make up on, protected me from bullies, yelled at me when I was wrong, talked to me to inspire me to reach for greater things in life, and most of all she had a wonderful sense of humor and she showed me how to love and appreciate so many things that life has to offer, when Mary walked into a room everything seemed brighter...until we know where our Mary is...there is just this dead silence...an eternal empty space where she should be...

Well here we are. Change is finally slowly happening in the downtown east side. Interesting that I just looked through some of the postings and the one below here has Roger posting about the Brandiz hotel. I lived there for some years. What a hell hole!

Remember folks. That change happens within and when we participate in the communities we live in.

For myself that is the whole world. As the internet brings us all closer together.

I also created a new website for B.C women who are seeking recovery. I know a there are many women on this site who are in 12step recovery and I believe it is important for us to create a greater sense of community for us women.

That is what many of the missing women were looking for. I am a strong believer in the harm reduction movement that is finally being implemented here and have a high regard for those doing the work.

The site I created is not just for 12step recovery. The front page explains that.
Thank you for those who care about others in their communities and work to better understand the issues we women face in our everyday lives.

Blessed be.
All our relations.

Life is such a struggle for all the girls involved in the sex trade, lots of people pass them on their way in and out of the city, struggling to feed their habits in the only way they know possible.

My mother is Elsie Sebastian. She is a Pacheedaht First Nations woman from the West Coast of Vancouver Island and she has been missing since the early 90s from the Lower east side. I also have a sister named Donalee and a brother Neil and Robert Jr. who miss and love Elsie dearly. Because Elsie was taken from us so suddenly, she hasn't even seen or met my 6 year old son Connor or my sister Donalee's new born baby Dylan. As a result, Elsie may not even know she has 2 beautiful grandsons. Our hearts grieve for our mother and I often cry for her and wish she was still with me everyday. I feel guilty and remorseful that I did not treat her better and cherish the last moment that I spent with her, yet at the same time I was angry at her because she was in the throws of her addiction. Nevertheless, I love and miss my mother dearly and would give anything to hear my mom's laugh again and see her smile! She had a great sense of humor and was a friendly and talkative person. It feels as though my short time with my mother was a dream.........slowly fading my memory. Please remember these women were mothers and sisters and friends, and they had children, husbands and grandchildren who love them dearly and miss them with all our hearts. I pray daily that god will send me a message and let me know when the time is right what happened to my mother. She was not a throw away junkie and hooker, she was a respected and loving mother and joyous spirit who i will fight for until the day i die. I work in treaty negotiations and this person stake in my work helps me to fight on.

After having a few years to take all this in...it still hurts just as much!!
Cynthia (Cindy) Louise Beck was my dear friend. She was the adopted daughter of a mennonite couple in Ontario. She had an older brother, who was also adopted and became a minister. Her younger sister, who came along after her parents gave up believing they would ever have a child 'of their own', became a missionary. Ironic in a way because no one could save Cindy from herself. While Cindy was a young teenager she became pregnant and had a son, who was eventually adopted by another family...oh how I would love to see him. I went to the hospital and brought her flowers when he was born. Would he have her eyes, her smile, her sense of humour??? I know that her family traveled from Ontario to British Columbia and searched for her in 1996 but never found her. Her mother said that when she stopped calling home, which she failed to do on her birthday, they knew that something was wrong.
P.S. The picture you have that says this is Cindy in her happier days is an absolutely awful picture and I know she would not like it either.
To my friend...I love you. The description prostitute, drug user does not describe who you are...just something you did for reasons unknown.

Since the police failed to respond correctly to reports from women, (i.e. Holli Innes & Mrs. Frey), it leaves the impression that police in Vancouver are HELPING the snuff movie industry, by ignoring the reports about the suspects.

last September 25, 2003, I witnessed a woman being snatched off the corner of Powell & Columbia and police treated my report as if it were a joke. One month later another woman screamed for her life on the opposite corner.

Ruth Thompson was missing soon afterward. Soon the police found Ruth's body floating in the Fraser River. the police quickly jumped to the conclusion that Ruth KILLED HERSELF! No one down here who knew Ruth believes that for one minute. I strongly doubt Ruth's family agrees with police response.

On December 27, 2003, another woman screamed for her life n the middle of her life. Again I tried to report it, but was only laughed at by police who insisted I run around the neighbourhood, looking for a working public phone in order to report the abductions, right after they occur. Nonsense, I won't do it! to do what the officer insisted upon would put me in the path of the man who is abducting women from the DTES streets. a very suspicious response.

Again a woman was missing. Again when her body was found police jumped quickly to the conclusion it was suicide, even though she was a small woman and I reported a small woman as having been snatched on the 27th of December. It wasn't even investigated.

Now almost every week a woman's body is found either floating in the Fraser River or chopped to bits in a dumpster. I bet police think the women chopped themselves to bits.

Frankly, since I have reported what I saw and since women tried to come forward with information about Piggy's Palace years sooner than police acted and since police are treating me the same way they treated the women who told them about Piggy's Palace, even though I am not a drug user or a prostitute, it leads me to the conclusion that police are involved in the snuff movie industry. It must mean good money for them. Has anyone investigated that possibility? It is growing more obvious day by day, year by year, decade by decade, ignored abduction by ignored abduction.

I just bet Vancouver is the Snuff Movie capital of the Olympic World!

It always seems so surreal when Its someone you know. I went to School with Marnie Frey, She was a good friend of mine in elementary school. Looking back, I remember her telling me how sad and angry she was. I was shocked to find out that her DNA was found at the farm. She was a sweet and funny girl and deserved far better than the hand she was dealt.

I am in a Native Studies class currently at SIAST Kelsey Campus and we are reviewing Warren Goulding's Novel, "Just Another Indian". I live in the neighbourhood that John Crawford used to roam, and it make me angry to know that the public was not informed of such events. (A serial killer circled outside my house when I would go outside for a cigarette at night, makes a young woman like myself nervous now). I am currently a volunteer at Family Services of Saskatoon, and being a survivor of domestic violence myself, I know what it feels like to be thinking to yourself while being strangled. "I do not want to die in the hands of a man!". If I could help every young lady on the streets, I would. Like I said previously, I live right on the "Stroll" of 20th Street in Saskatoon, and I quite often will offer the "girls" a cup of coffee on my back steps, when I do not see one of them for awhile I begin to worry! I think that you have created a wonderful website that is full of information for those that are looking for it. Thank you for those that care about another's life!

Nanaimo students perform true-to-life story off streets

Times Colonist (Victoria)

Thursday May 13, 2004

A Nanaimo high-school play -- inspired partly by the Pickton pig-farm murder case -- accurately portrays the brutal lives of prostitutes, says a former sex trade worker.


Special to Times Colonist

Life among the sex-trade workers is the subject of a play written and performed by students at Nanaimo's Dover Bay high school. Here Whitney Rodgers tries to haul Coleen Weaver upright.

Brenda Omichinski, 43, was favorably impressed after seeing i have a name, a new drama created by students at Nanaimo's Dover Bay secondary school.

"It did seem real, a lot of the parts did," said Nanaimo's Omichinski, who for 28 years was a prostitute and drug addict in Vancouver and Nanaimo. "I thought it was amazing. I cried from the beginning to the end."

She is among a handful of former sex trade workers interviewed for the school project, which was researched, written and acted by Dover Bay students. i have a name, slated for a Friday night public performance at Esquimalt secondary school, takes an unblinkered look at the underground lives of prostitutes -- even portraying real-life tragedies.

Performed by female students aged 15 to 18 from Nanaimo's middle-class Hammond Bay district, i have a name depicts sex trade workers as regular folk with ordinary goals and aspirations. At the same time, the 45-minute work doesn't flinch from the squalor of drug addiction or the plight of women whose remains were unearthed at the Pickton farm in Port Coquitlam.

i have a name concludes with a monologue taken from the journals of Sarah de Vries, whose DNA was founded on the farm following her 1998 disappearance from Vancouver's East Side.

"(The play) does address the disappearances, the beatings and the murders," said Hugh Anderson, a 51-year-old drama teacher who directed and helped create the play. "It examines the progress into the pit of drug use."

The students created i have a name after deciding to explore the theme of sexual exploitation. It was first performed in February at a Parksville drama festival. Since then, the play has been staged in Nanaimo to mostly positive reactions, despite disturbing subject matter and profane la
