Crystal Elizabeth Vanhuuksloot was 20 when she disappeared from Toronto in the autumn of 1977 after traveling there from Edmonton to raise bail money for her boyfriend, Stacey Harris. She carried about $3,000 in a money belt but still needed more; Harris suggested she contact a man named Ian Rosenberg who purportedly could help. Crystal later told a friend the loan had fallen through and planned to fly back to Edmonton the next morning to continue raising funds. She had told Harris at the Don Jail that Rosenberg would drive her to Toronto International Airport, but she never boarded the flight and was not seen again.

When police questioned Rosenberg he said he had dropped her at the airport as arranged. Seven months later Rosenberg and his girlfriend were found shot to death in their bed. James Bass, a friend and business associate of Rosenberg’s, was arrested and tried; the Crown argued Bass acted because he feared Rosenberg would tell police about Bass’s role in Crystal’s disappearance. Bass was acquitted, no one has ever been convicted in the double homicide, and Crystal has never been found.

Does anyone have information about Crystal’s movements in Toronto that autumn or recollections of Rosenberg, Harris, or others connected to her last known plans?
