Sidney Edward Manning, 56, vanished after leaving Cultus Lake near Chilliwack, British Columbia. He was last seen on July 17, 1985, and reported missing by his family on July 20 when they could not reach him. Sidney’s silence was described as out of character and prompted searches and interviews with friends and relatives, but no immediate leads emerged.

A key development came on August 4, 1985, when Sidney’s brown 1984 Oldsmobile was found abandoned on a remote forest service road near Hope, British Columbia. There was no sign of Sidney at the scene, and the car’s isolated location deepened the mystery, since it was far from his last known whereabouts.

Few concrete facts exist about what happened after July 17. Does anyone remember seeing Sidney, his Oldsmobile, or anything unusual around Cultus Lake or the Hope area in late July 1985?
