Joanne Catherine Foley was 22 and living in the Midland and Port McNicoll area of Ontario when she disappeared over the May 24 holiday weekend in 1989. A young mother to a son just over a year old, she worked at a local bar and was sharing a Port McNicoll home with friends. Her last known contact was a phone call to a roommate from work during which she said she was heading west; after that call she was never heard from again.

All of Joanne’s personal belongings remained in the Port McNicoll residence, and police were not able to find evidence that she ever traveled west or left the Midland area. She is described as 5 feet 4 inches, slim, with a small red devil tattoo on her shoulder. The Southern Georgian Bay OPP has the file open but the case went cold and her family—including the son and later grandchildren she never met—has lived with unanswered questions for decades.

Anyone who knew Joanne, saw her around Midland or Port McNicoll in late May 1989, or has information about movements that weekend is asked to come forward.
