Wayne Ronald L Baker was 23 when he vanished from Banff, Alberta, in early summer 1989 after arriving there to work. He was living in staff accommodations on Cave Avenue with a cousin and a roommate; the roommate last saw him at the residence sometime between June 5 and June 7, 1989. Concern was raised on June 8 when Wayne, described as a dependable employee at Phil’s Restaurant, failed to show up for his shift.

Wayne is described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 9 inches, medium build, about 141 pounds, with long blonde to brown hair, hazel eyes and a dark complexion. He was believed to be wearing a pink headband, a loose-fitting shirt, multi-colored shorts and white running shoes when last seen. A possible but unconfirmed sighting was reported in July 1989 at the Crest Hotel in Edmonton; that lead did not locate him and the case went cold. The investigation remains open and his family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Wayne, saw him in Banff or Edmonton in June–July 1989, or has information that could help, please come forward.
