Somehow I think the chances of finding this woman alive are pretty slim. I wonder if her family still looks for her? She might have children or grandchildren living wondering what happened.

I agree, although I am sure surviving family members would like to know what happened to her. I believe there was mention of a lake, was it thoroughly searched (both in the water and around it)? Did Tersilla have any history if health conditions like Alzheimers or dementia that might have caused her to veer off her path home?

Isn't there a UID in Saskatchewan of a woman in an old well? I know it is in Canada but thought it might be in Saskatchewan.

 

[Grifynne]

I haven't seen that, is there a link or something we could check out?

 

[Claudette]

That's all I can remember about it. Let me see if I can dig it up. Uno momento,

I'm sorry, it looks like he was since identified:

You know I must be confusing two Canadian cases. I swear there was one where they thought the UID was female. I guess not, this is the only one I could find!

This is the one I was thinking of.

Maybe you can find info on that website if you haven't looked already?

I have to agree, it has a certain glamour to it, doesn't it?

Second post down by member at that website.

It says that RCMP Staff Sgt that there was a rumor that she had been buried in an old cellar of a house that no longer exists.

That in or about 2008 the RCMP and a forensic anthropoligist used radar to find an old cellar and dug it up. She was not found located in it.

Which I wonder if she did meet with foul play and is buried somewhere?

There was a woman estimated death early 1900, s. In a barrel in Saskatchewan. I think that's what you mean.http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/canada/sas...n-police-unveil-a-face-from-the-past-1.819486

CANADA - Canada - Saskatoon, WhtFem 498UFSK, early 1900s murder victim, Jun'06

I was hoping it could have been her, but the UID was about 30 years of age. I think 78 would be a bit of a stretch. Apparently, she was fairly well preserved and her hair was brown, not grey. We should keep looking.
