Almost 7 years now, and we know nothing more than the day Stephanie disappeared.

I wonder how the silence is helping LE find who is responsible for her disappearance.

UPDATE - Found Remains Myster Continues

Your link doesn't work anymore mikkismom, but think this might be related to your post:

from:
http://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/remains-...to-be-human-foul-play-not-suspected-1.1272792

RCMP west of Edmonton said remains found in a remote area near Brule are human.

On Wednesday, Hinton RCMP said Edmonton’s Medical Examiner had confirmed the human remains appeared to belong to an adult male.

At this time, RCMP don’t suspect foul play.

However, investigators are still working with experts to determine the age, identity and manner of death in this case.

I really hoped they had found her. I haven't heard anything about Stephanie in so long. I wonder if they will ever find her out there.

Found this 2013 article on Stephanie, but nothing new about her disappearance ... mainly talking about safety measures that have been put in place for fire spotters:

With all this time having passed, you'd think LE would release a bit more info in hopes of finding a perp.

EDMONTON – It’s been a decade since 70-year-old Stephanie Stewart vanished while working alone at a wildfire lookout in dense mountain forest in northwestern Alberta

“Stephanie — I give her this legacy — it’s a terrible thing that happened, but as a consequence there was some very positive measures taken.”
Friend Robin Slater says Stewart, who was from Canmore, Alta., was a phenomenal woman who cycled solo across Canada and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. But her perfect place was the lookout, where she tended a huge garden, embroidered, painted and read stacks of books.
Former government forestry worker Bob Young remembers Stewart as a kind and gentle soul, who welcomed the many visitors who came to her lookout.
Young retired a few years before Stewart vanished, but before that had stopped often to see her as he sketched maps and took photos of all the province’s lookout areas.
He hopes reminding the public of her case will trigger someone’s memory and finally solve the mystery.
“There’s someone out there who knows.”

Probably this guy has been in the States too long to be involved in this case, but he came to mind immediately, just a thought and speculation, imo.

[h=1]RCMP cold case unit seeks leads on three missing Alberta women[/h]

Jonny Wakefield

Coworkers of a woman who lived in a fire lookout tower near Hinton realized something was wrong when she failed to call in her morning weather report.

Stephanie Stewart, a fit 70-year-old who loved the outdoors, was living at the Athabasca tower near Hinton where she worked for the province. She had worked at the tower for 13 years during the summer fire season, and it was unusual for her to miss the morning weather update.

On Aug. 26, 2006, an employee sent to check on her found her cabin empty, with obvious signs of a struggle. Blood was on the steps and a pot of water was boiling on the stove. Stewart has never been found.

Her story was one of three highlighted during an RCMP news conference in Edmonton on three missing Alberta women Monday. All three cases — including the disappearances of Shelly Ann Bacsu and Deanna MacNeil — are being treated as homicides.

Staff Sgt. Jason Jason Zazulak of the RCMP K Division historical homicide unit said the cases don’t appear to be connected.

“The stories of what happened to Shelly Ann, Stephanie and Deanna remain incomplete,” Zazulak said. “We want to complete those stories now. Their stories can be completed. There are people out there who know what happened to these three women. “

THIS CASE, really troubles me....

Snipped...from

...Inside the home, two blue pillow cases, a burgundy bed sheet and a duvet cover with a Navajo pattern were missing, along with Stewart's gold men's watch, which she kept for sentimental reasons, RCMP say.

:thinking: :what:

SS stayed in the tower alone right??? Just has me asking myself -- how would they have such detailed inventory of her belongings to know what was missing??? (KWIM?)

[h=1]Cold Case: A look inside the Alberta RCMP’s Historical Homicide Unit[/h]

The group is always using new techniques to keep the conversation about these cases public. The lead investigator in the case of a missing wildfire spotter is even using social media to help make progress in the case. His Twitter handle is @KerryShima_RCMP. It was an idea that was brought forward at a historical homicide conference in Regina.

"Stephanie Stewart's was working alone at a fire lookout tower near Hinton when she vanished 12 years ago, a pot of water still boiling on the stove and her truck still parked outside.

RCMP search underway near Hinton 12 years after Stephanie Stewart vanished

"The healthy and adventurous senior was reported missing on Aug. 26, 2006 from the Athabasca lookout, located about 25 kilometres northwest of Hinton, an industrial town about 280 kilometres west of Edmonton at the edge of Jasper National Park.

Stewart, 5-foot-2 and 105 lbs., was considered very active and healthy for a 70-year-old and isn’t thought to have just walked away from the property where she spent each summer working as a fire spotter."

RCMP using old files, new techniques in attempt to crack cold cases of three missing women

Exactly one year has passed since RCMP Staff Sgt. Jason Zazulak, the head of K Division’s historical homicide unit, put out a call to the public for tips on cold cases involving three missing women: Shelly Ann Bacsu, Stephanie Stewart and Deanna McNeil.

All are presumed dead. Their remains have never been found.

In the year since that public appeal, RCMP have re-examined old evidence and gone back to witnesses, but have also listened to potential new information and used modern technology to try to break the cases open.

The results have been frustrating.
