Ruby Ann Hardy, also known as Ruby Ann Galloway, was about 32 when she vanished from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside in the late 1990s. Her brother filed a formal missing person report on March 27, 2002.

Originally from the Biinjitwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek First Nation in Ontario, Ruby was a mother of three whose children were in the care of family members. Family members say she had been in regular contact with them until about 1997; those calls eventually stopped. At the time she disappeared she was described by authorities as living a high-risk lifestyle in the Downtown Eastside, struggling with drug addiction and believed to have ties to the sex trade. She was described as between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 6 inches, medium or slender build, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Her case was added to a list of more than 50 women who disappeared from the Downtown Eastside. Her name has been raised in connection with the period when Robert Pickton was active, but no evidence has been reported linking her disappearance to his farm and her DNA was not reported as recovered there; her daughter has provided a DNA sample for comparison. The Vancouver Police Department is the investigating agency.
