Sarah Skunk (Last seen in 1986)

"There was a body that was found in Oregon." Melissa Skunk's aunt, Sarah, has been missing for nearly thirty years. Her family has never stopped looking, and in the fall of last year, there was a new lead. The facial composite of an unidentified body found in Oregon looked just like Sarah. As Melissa tells As It Happens host Carol Off, "Everybody in our family said "'it's her.' It's her because the resemblance was so strong. The facial features and everything." The Nishnawbe-Aski police service came and collected a DNA sample from Melissa's grandmother in Mishkeegogamang, ON.

For six months, the Skunk family waited for the results of the test. "My grandma is 91 years old and during the six months of waiting… we'd see her sitting there, looking out the window." Melissa says that after all these years "she wants to know where she is. Is she ok out there? Where is she? Does she know we're looking for her? Is she alive?" But when the DNA test results came back, Melissa and her grandmother were no closer to getting the answers.
