CANADA Canada - Lois Hanna, 25, Kincardine, Ont, 4 July 1988

[Track]

The perpetrator in Lisa Maas disappearance may be same perp in Christine Prince homicide. In both cases, victim's I.D. was tossed from a vehicle and later discovered roadside. For details on Christine Prince cold case, google nichol investigations, and check Toronto Police cold case website. I think crowdsourcing to find someone who recognizes the missing jewelry and other items in each case may be the best hope in tracking the perp. Furthermore, LE needs to comb through the souvenirs found in Russel Williams and Bernardo households, to see if any match. Also, a list of RW's residences along with timeframes would be helpful. Anyone have any info to contribute in that regard? Finally, UT Scarb campus students from that era need to be interviewed, to see if any have info as to whether RW and Bernardo met or were known to associate.

Two pea-sized drops of blood.

They are the only usable physical evidence ever found by police in the Lois Hanna case.

The drops were found on a wall next to the side door of Lois' Kincardine home. For years, all that was known about the blood was that it came from a male.

In 1998, DNA technology provided the OPP with a list of 14 persons of interest, all men. Police worked to eliminate names from that list, and said in early 1999 they had been watching one of those men for the nine months. OPP Det.-Insp. Walter Baker said at the time that police were "cautiously optimistic there will be some resolution."

That resolution is still awaited. Det.-Const. Andre Bayard says all but one person has been excluded from consideration. One name remains on the list. Bayard will not identify that person, nor will he discuss what police are trying to do to either exclude or implicate him. He will not comment on whether it is the same person the OPP tried to focus on in July 1988. When Lois had been missing for less than a week the OPP believed they knew who had taken her from her home.

She left the dance alone. Why Lois Hanna’s family is still fighting visions of ‘watching her walk away’

Twenty-five-year-old Lois Hanna was tired but cheerful as she left alone from the reunion dance at the arena in sleepy small-town Lucknow near Lake Huron on Sunday, July 3, 1988.

“I gave her a big hug,” her big brother Dave Hanna said in an interview. “We both agreed we had a lot of fun that weekend.”

Then Lois vanished, despite frantic and consistent efforts by her family and community to find her.

Volunteers search for clues in 35-year missing person’s case

The 25-year-old Lois Hanna has been missing since July 4, 1988. She was last seen leaving a homecoming dance in Lucknow, Ont.

''Tips about hearing a woman screaming for help, and a woman running in a nightgown between Lucknow and the Hanna home farm near Holyrood, Ont. that night have led a team of 40 volunteers to reignite the search for answers.''

“The fact that these three tips have come in and they’re located near these ditches. It’s important these areas get searched, and believe it or not, in the past 35 years, they haven’t been,” said Matthew Nopper, co-founder of Please Bring Me Home, who organized Monday’s search.''


''Please Bring Me Home, a volunteer missing person’s investigation unit, has been following Lois Hanna’s case since 2017, conducting their last search for clues in her disappearance in 2019.

“I think if we could find out what happened to her, that would bring us some peace. We could put her with her mom and dad, and then the family could close that chapter,” said Jim.

Everyone at Monday’s search recognized that after 35 years, the chances of finding Lois, or physical clues in her mysterious disappearance, are very low. But, they’re trying to discount areas and theories to zone in on the answers that her family so desperately want.''

The Please Bring Me Home organization is planning an intensive search of at least three areas this summer as the volunteer group hopes to help solve local…

''Nick Oldrieve, the group’s executive director, said a 40-person group held extensive grid searches looking for Joseph Moore, Lois Hanna and Neil McDougall over the past three weeks in Kincardine, Holyrood and Ayton.

The group is planning to return to those locations with the same 40 volunteers and will search every other Sunday beginning on June 4 until their search of the areas is complete, Oldrieve said.''

''The group will return to a wooded area east of Holyrood in the search for Hanna, north of the area where witnesses reported seeing a woman wearing a pink-coloured nightgown walking out of a bush lot the night she disappeared. Hanna was 25 when she was reported missing on July 4, 1988, after she didn’t go to work at MacG’s in Kincardine.

Hanna was last seen leaving the Celebrate in ’88 festival at the Lucknow Arena. She arrived at her Kincardine home at about 12:15 the next morning and was reported missing after she failed to attend work.''

Personally, I think this is someone who has not been caught, just because of the number of women missing at that time. It couldn't have all been Williams and Bernardo. her range is always very wide... a psychopath who saw the opportunity to take her because apparently she came home, changed her clothes and was taking hers, it is likely that she heard noises went to check and they took her for back ...
either way
rest in peace
