Family of Montgrand still seeking answers almost 40 years later
Across Canada many First Nation families have been searching long and hard for their missing family members, some much longer than others.
Myrna Montgrand was last seen in La Loche on April 21, 1979 when she was just 14 years old. She would have turned 51 on July 21 of this year.
Montgrand’s mother searched for her lost daughter until she died. Her sister, Dora Laprise continued on her mother’s work, looking for answers about her sister’s disappearance. Recently Montgrand’s niece Myrna, who was named in honour of her missing aunt, has continued the search.
“I started about a week and a half ago. My friend kinda found something and then she told someone about it. That person came to me and told me so I said ‘let’s go,’” Myrna said.
