Jonathan Uriah Molina was three years old when he was last seen on October 29, 1985, in a vehicle on the White Bear First Nation near Carlyle, Saskatchewan. He was traveling with his mother, Maria Del Carmen Molina, and his two-year-old brother, Benjamin; the family lived in Winnipeg and had stopped at a Carlyle gas station where Maria asked about a bus ticket to Vancouver before driving away.

On October 30, 1985, Maria’s white 1980 Thunderbird was found burned out in a swampy area on the reserve, but no people were present. In spring 1986 hunters discovered children’s clothing, a woman’s jacket, a boot, and car keys in the woods; Maria’s suitcase and identification were later located about 100 yards from the car. In October 1986 skeletal remains identified as Maria and an infant presumed to be Benjamin were recovered nearby and the deaths were attributed to exposure, with no evidence of foul play reported at the time. Jonathan has never been found and remains listed as missing in an active file with the F Division RCMP Historical Case Unit.

Does anyone who lived in or traveled through southeastern Saskatchewan in late 1985 recall seeing the family or the Thunderbird around October 29–30?
