On July 23, 2006, 18-year-old Preston Wayne Waldner was at Paradise Beach on the South Saskatchewan River near Saskatoon when he and a friend tried to swim across the river. Both began to struggle in the river’s strong current; the friend was pulled from the water but Preston was seen going under and did not resurface. Immediate searches were launched but Preston could not be located and was not recovered.

At the time he was last seen he wore black casual nylon shorts. His family describes him with a shaved head, burn scars on his right calf, and a tattoo on the left side of his chest of a howling wolf with the initials PWW above it. The RCMP lists his case as an active missing person file and periodic searches of the South Saskatchewan River, including work by the Historical Case Unit, have not produced his recovery.

Does anyone have information about Preston, his activities that day, or sightings near Paradise Beach on July 23, 2006?
