Two Oakville teenagers disappeared within months of each other in 1983, and their cases remain linked. Sixteen-year-old Jannisina Stonehouse, known to family as Sina and to friends as Jan, was last seen on August 8, 1983. Family members say she left home while pregnant; she had a history of running away but this episode was described as different. Her mother was gravely ill in hospital and died shortly after Jannisina vanished, and Jannisina did not return for the funeral, prompting her father to report her missing.

Six months earlier, on February 14, 1983, 16-year-old friend Darlene Tucker left home after an argument with her mother upon learning she was pregnant. Darlene stayed briefly with a boyfriend in Oakville, then disappeared; she later made a few collect calls from a payphone in Huntsville. A confirmed sighting in 1987 placed both girls together in the Haliburton or Huntsville area, and that was the last definitive sighting of either young woman. Darlene never claimed a trust fund that became payable at 18. With Jannisina’s parents deceased and no siblings continuing the search, questions remain about where they went and why they never re-established contact.

Did anyone in Oakville, Haliburton or Huntsville know Sina or Jan and see them after 1987?
