Rebecca Louisa Guno, known as Becky, was 23 when she disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. She was last seen on June 22, 1983, boarding a city bus with a female friend; her common-law husband watched her leave. Rebecca, 4 feet 11 inches with long straight black hair and brown eyes, wore a white wool sweater, brown boots and her glasses that day. She told her partner she was going to the Lone Star Hotel on Carrall Street to have drinks, but planned to meet a man known only as Josh and never arrived.

Rebecca was a member of the Nisga’a Nation, born May 25, 1960. Her early life included time in a residential school; she had one son and a second child who died in infancy. By the early 1980s she lived in the Downtown Eastside and struggled with addiction and sex work, though friends recalled her as bubbly and happy. Her wallet was found several blocks from her residence at some point after she was reported missing on June 25, 1983. The police file has been reviewed multiple times but produced few leads; Josh has never been identified. Homicide is suspected and the case remains an endangered missing person file; her remains have never been found.

Does anyone who knew Becky or who might have seen her in Vancouver in June 1983 have information to share?
