Lorraine Roach, 58, was last reportedly seen in the early morning hours at her home in Selwyn Township, near Peterborough, Ontario, in the spring of 2013. According to her husband’s account, she was upset over a family matter and left saying she was going to a local casino; she never arrived. Her daughter realized she was missing on Mother’s Day when calls went unanswered.

A few days later Lorraine’s minivan was found abandoned on the side of Ackison Road, near the entrance to a walking trail about seven kilometres from her home. The Ontario Provincial Police searched the surrounding woods and waterways with helicopters, ATVs, canine units and canoes but found no trace of her. The case was reclassified as a criminal investigation about a year later and police said they believe someone holds the key to solving the mystery. A $50,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Lorraine was legally declared deceased in 2023; the investigation remains active.

If anyone knew Lorraine, visited the trails off Ackison Road in May 2013, or has information that could help, please come forward.
