Jacqueline Marie Olynyk was 48 when she disappeared in Winnipeg in late winter 1998. On March 27, 1998, she was last seen near the Norwood Bridge walking on the frozen Red River. Witnesses reported the ice gave way beneath her and she fell into the water; she was wearing a red 3/4 length winter parka, blue jogging pants, and tan winter boots.

Jacqueline was described as a Caucasian woman about 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 5 inches tall, stocky build, approximately 161 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes. Searches and investigations followed but her body was never recovered, and the Winnipeg Police Service Missing Persons Unit classifies the case as a suspected accident and keeps it open.

Does anyone have memories of that area or other information about Jacqueline’s movements that day?
