Karen Jane Thompson, known as Karebear, was 43 when she vanished from Toronto, Ontario, in the summer of 2016. She was last seen by her daughter on July 31, 2016, in the Lake Shore Boulevard area of south Etobicoke. At disappearance she was five feet ten inches, 130 pounds, with a thin build, long blonde hair, blue eyes, three skulls tattooed on her lower back and an elephant on her left shoulder.

Although Thompson had an address in Etobicoke, she led a transient lifestyle with connections in Dufferin County, Alliston, Scarborough, Oakville and Hamilton. Her family reported her missing after she stopped communicating, which was out of character; investigators later said they believe foul play was involved and at one point offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Her daughter has spoken publicly about the family’s loss and the need for closure; Karen had become a grandmother to two children she never got to know.

If anyone saw Karen around Lake Shore Boulevard on July 31, 2016 or has information about her whereabouts, please share what is known with investigators.
