Terrence Steven Sagal was 54 when he disappeared from Regina, Saskatchewan, on December 18, 2001. That morning he told his wife he was running errands, planning to buy gas and scotch and ingredients to bake a chocolate cheesecake. A Petro Canada points card was used at a gas station on Albert Street South shortly after he left home — the last confirmed trace of him.

Two days later his 1982 Mercury Marquis was found abandoned on a quiet secondary road near Kennedy, about 160 kilometers southeast of Regina. Heavy snowfall that night had obscured tracks and investigators recovered few clues. Extensive searches on foot, by air and on horseback produced no sign of Terrence.

Investigators have considered foul play, suicide and the possibility he chose to start a new life; family members note he had complained about his car’s reliability and that the car radio had been changed from his usual station as details they find troubling. The Regina Police Service lists the case as an active missing persons file. If anyone in Saskatchewan remembers seeing Terry, his car, or has information about that stretch of road near Kennedy in December 2001, please come forward.
