William Bill Kwiatek, 43, vanished in the summer of 1988 while working a construction job in Canmore and living in Calgary. The last confirmed sighting was in July 1988, but accounts differ on whether that sighting was in Canmore or in Caroline, Alberta. He reportedly intended to sell his truck and planned to hitchhike from Canmore back to Calgary; all his personal belongings had been packed into a plastic bag and none have been recovered.

His family did not report him missing until 2013, at which point the Canmore RCMP opened an investigation that has had to bridge a decades-long gap. At the time of his disappearance he was described as being in a volatile relationship and police had been called to his residence for disturbances; investigators have not ruled out foul play. Distinguishing features included tattoos reading LOVE and HATE on his knuckles, a Star of David on his left hand, a partially amputated left ring finger and scars on his head from a prior injury.

If anyone has memories of seeing Bill in July 1988 in Canmore, Caroline or along the route to Calgary, or knows what happened to his truck or the packed belongings, please come forward with information.
