Irene Dorothy Scherban was 16 when she vanished from the front of her family’s home in Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, in the early morning of August 2, 1975. She had celebrated her sixteenth birthday just over a week earlier and had hosted a party that night. Witnesses last saw her at about 3:00 a.m. wearing blue jeans, a blouse and possibly a blue corduroy jacket; she was barefoot and wearing two Hudson Bay Composite High School silver insignia rings.

The disappearance has never been solved. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police consider the case suspicious and the Saskatchewan RCMP’s Historical Case Unit continues to follow up on any new information. Family members have maintained hope for answers; Irene’s mother, Pauline, died in 2022 still waiting for news, and the family has placed a marker in Irene’s memory.

Does anyone who lived in Hudson Bay in 1975 remember seeing Irene that night or have information that could help the investigation?
