Lavina Gloria Tocher, a 35-year-old Indigenous woman from Parkman, Saskatchewan, was last seen September 26, 1991 and formally reported missing after an anonymous phone call on December 12, 1991. She was described as 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, about 130 to 131 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, a shotgun scar on her right upper arm and a tattoo on her right forearm reading I LOV. When last seen she wore blue jeans, a brown leather jacket with long fringe and brown leather cowboy boots.

Investigations and searches have not located Lavina or her remains. Community suspicion long focused on her husband, Allan Tocher. On July 2, 1994 Allan and his 18-year-old son David were found dead of self-inflicted gunshot wounds at an isolated farmhouse after a police standoff; they had been sought by the RCMP in connection with the death of Roy Wiggins, who had been assisting police in the inquiry into Lavina’s disappearance and presumed murder. Reports indicate Allan and his son may have confessed to Allan’s daughters shortly before their deaths.

Her case remains an active missing person investigation and many questions remain. If anyone knew Lavina, her movements that September, or has information about the people named, please come forward.
