Murphy Lloyd Williams, a 35-year-old Indigenous man, disappeared from a farm at Mile 30 on the Alaska Highway near Dawson Creek. He was last seen on August 15, 1974, after having worked at the farm for only a couple of days. The farmer reported that Murphy had been acting unusually in the days before he vanished and was particularly concerning the night before he was found missing.

The farmer awoke about 7:30 a.m. on August 15 and discovered Murphy was gone. A search of the house and surrounding property turned up no trace. At the time he disappeared he was described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall, 170 pounds, wearing a red coat, black cloth pants and a white t-shirt. Some accounts say he may have been distressed and tried to walk toward Fort St. John.

The Dawson Creek detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has kept the case open and has used police dogs, air support and search and rescue teams over the years, but no resolution has been reached. Did anyone who knew Murphy or worked on the Alaska Highway area in 1974 see or hear anything that might help explain his disappearance?
