8: Candace Derksen

It was November 30th, 1984, when Candace was last seen walking home from her school Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute, in Winnipeg, Canada. She had called to ask her mother for a ride home but was told to walk. When she never made it home that evening, her family was hoping she had run away and was trying to teach them a lesson. However as the days passed, her sudden and unexplained vanishing set off a wave of fear and uncertainty in the community. Seven weeks after Candace disappeared, her frozen body is found in a shed, less than 500 meters from her house.
