Danita Faith Bigeagle, 22, was last officially seen on February 11, 2007, in the 800 block of Victoria Avenue in Regina, Saskatchewan. A member of the Ocean Man First Nation, she was described as a slender Indigenous woman, 5 feet 6 inches and about 110 pounds, with short straight black hair, brown eyes, four small scars on her forehead and a happy-face D tattoo on the web of her right hand. When last seen she wore a black quilted winter parka, a black Casper t-shirt, black jeans, a black toque and white running shoes.
Her mother, Diane Bigeagle, reported Danita missing on February 14, 2007, and disputes about Danita’s last movements emerged: official reports list Victoria Avenue, while neighbors told Diane they believed Danita may have been taken from in front of her home on Garnet Street by men in a black SUV. Tips and possible sightings, including reports placing her in Winnipeg, prompted repeated searches that yielded no confirmed leads. A family-organized search in 2010 turned up some women’s clothing and a single bone, later identified as animal; the clothing was not linked to any missing person.
The Regina Police Service lists the case as an active cold case. Danita’s two children were nine months and eleven years old when she disappeared. Did anyone in the community see Danita in February 2007 or have information about the black SUV mentioned by neighbors?
