Emma Dixon, a 53-year-old Indigenous woman, vanished from her home on the Union Bar Reserve near Hope, British Columbia. She was last seen on July 22, 1964 and was described as petite, 5 feet 3 inches and about 115 pounds. Reports note she sometimes used the surnames Charlie and Wells.

Her husband did not report her missing until August 20, 1964 and suggested she may have gone to Washington state for work. That account conflicts with other relatives and friends, who say Emma had not mentioned any travel plans. All of her personal belongings were left behind in the house. The Hope detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police opened an investigation that remains active and unsolved.

Emma’s disappearance is cited among many unresolved cases of missing Indigenous women in Canada. If anyone knew Emma, her movements in late July 1964, or has information that could help this long-standing mystery, please come forward.
