CANADA Canada - Joanna Pedersen, 10, Chilliwack, BC, 19 Feb 1983

[UncoolNegated]

Whenever I've thought about this case in the past, I've never really understood the actions of the man in the black jacket. He grabs the phone and tells the mother that she has to be there within half an hour or else he is calling the police.

If he is the one who abducted her, then why would he interject himself into the conversation? That would only increase his chances of getting caught. You would think he would prefer to stay completely below the radar.

If his concern for Jo-anne was genuine and he didn't abduct her, then why didn't he actually wait for the half an hour, especially since the mother didn't take that long to get there?

The only thing that makes sense to me is that he is the abductor. His comments to Mrs. Pederson, while they do reveal his voice, might also have made other adults that were monitoring the situation feel like they could leave Jo-anne with the man. In short, the man in the black jacket might have made the comments to trick others who were around the phone booth and child. He fakes them out so they leave and then he has the girl isolated.

38 years ago that Joanna was taken.

Hopefully some day there can be resolution to her case and justice can be done.

On Feb. 19, 1983 Joanne Pederson disappeared. On a cold and wet day, the girl was walking home with her sister and a cousin. The older girls bolted ahead after an argument and when Joanne got to her house it was locked and she couldn’t get in.

She walked to the nearby Penny Pincher convenience store near the corner of Vedder Road and Watson Road. Joanne called her mom from a payphone around 8:20 p.m., and that’s the last anyone heard from her. By the time her mom and stepfather arrived to pick her up around 30 minutes later, Joanne was gone.

According to Chilliwack Progress coverage, a massive search was conducted involving the RCMP, Chilliwack Search and Rescue and even armed forces members from CFB Chilliwack. The Progress offered a $1,000 reward for information, and tips were received. An unknown man wearing a brown jacket was seen with the girl in the phone booth, and only recently have police been able to identify that man. He was ruled out as a suspect, leaving RCMP no closer to cracking the case.

In September of 2011 an anonymous hand-written letter was delivered to police with ‘significant information’ that indicated it was legit. Nothing ever came of that either, but police say the investigation has never stopped and the Chilliwack RCMP Serious Crime Unit is still asking for help.

“This is still an active investigation and any tips received from the public are being follow-up with by investigators,” said Cpl. Carmen Kiener. “If you have any information relating to Joanne’s disappearance please contact the Chilliwack RCMP as we are still hopeful we can provide answers for Joanne’s family.”

She was last seen wearing a yellow t-shirt with a blue sweater, a pink sleeveless jacket and tan coloured pants. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. She stood four-foot-six and weighed 84 pounds.

She would be 50 years old now.

40 years later, RCMP say the search continues for missing Chilliwack girl

Oh wow I haven’t heard this

An unknown man wearing a brown jacket was seen with the girl in the phone booth, and only recently have police been able to identify that man. He was ruled out as a suspect, leaving RCMP no closer to cracking the case.

I always thought that man held the key to answers. This is so sad

This one? Pedersen letter generates tips, but writer still unknown - Chilliwack Progress

Aw what a sad story, such a long, long time for Jo-Anne’s family to not know what happened

Despite the incorrect grammar on the letter above, I think the writing is lovely-look at the loops on the letters f and g. It looks very formal.

Hoping one day the family and friends of Jo-Anne get the answers they deserve.
