We are wrapping up Season 2 with some heartfelt thoughts that Diana shares.
Also, a very special tribute to someone who has gone too soon.

I recently interviewed Heather Shtuka, Ryan’s mom for my Podcast, “Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?”. In this episode you will hear a personal conversation between us about her missing precious son, Ryan.

Forensic Age Progression Sketch:

I completed Ryan's forensic age progression sketch to the age of 25 years old, which he would turn on March 17th, 2022. This took approximately 1.5 months to complete, as I feel it is important to take my time as I work on a missing person so I can age appropriate. My most commonly used medium is a 0.7mm led pencil, which is what I used to do this drawing. There isn’t a large gap of time In the years that Ryan has been missing when it comes to age progressing, but enough that it will seen like a lot to his loved ones. As I age progressed Ryan, he looks like a young man now with some facial hair, faint moustache, his bone structure is more pronounced and his chin is more defined. His neck is a little thicker and his Adam's apple is more apparent. He has broader shoulders and his eyes remain gentle just like they appeared in his earlier photographs. This is a healthy, physically fit forensic age progression sketch of Ryan Shtuka. It is my hope that people will view him as what I feel he would look like at the age of 25. 

Circumstances:

Ryan had moved to Sun Peaks, British Columbia on December 1st, 2017, he was last seen on Saturday February 17th, 2018.

Ryan is 20 years old and 6′ tall with a lean build. He has blond hair, brown eyes and weighs 180 lbs. He was last seen wearing

dark jeans, a grey & white shirt, blue coat and a burgundy ball cap.

There is a $15,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of Ryan.

If you have any information about Ryan Shtuka, please contact the Kamloops RCMP: 1- 250-828-3000 or you may call Crime Stoppers Canada: 1-800-222-8477.   https://www.canadiancrimestoppers.org/tips

It was such a pleasure to interview Lisa Buske once again for my podcast, “Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?”

Lisa’s passion in life and honouring her precious sister is something I admire very much. Lisa shares what has helped for her to move forward in a positive way after such a horrific kidnapping of her only sister, Heidi Allen.  Thank you Lisa for being the inspiration that the world needs right now. Keep shining bright, I know your mom and sister are watching you from above and are so proud of you. New age progression of Heidi will follow.

Let’s work together to bring Heidi Allen Home.  

Missing Person: Forcible Abduction

On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1994, 18-year-old Heidi Marie Allen was working alone as a cashier at the D&W Convenience Store, located at the intersection of State Routes 104 and 104B in the Oswego County Town of New Haven, New York State. She opened the store at about 5:45 a.m. and managed the store routinely for approximately 2 hours, with nothing out of the ordinary occurring.
At the time of her disappearance, Heidi was described as a white female, 5’11”, 145 pounds, light brown/blond hair worn long and curly, and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt with a plaid SU logo on the front, and white sneakers. She wore glasses or contact lenses and had pierced ears. Her date of birth was September 14, 1975.
Anyone who may have been in the area of the convenience store at or around the time of her abduction, or anyone who has any information on the case is asked to contact the Oswego County Sheriff’s Office at one of the following numbers: 1-888-349-3411, 1-800-724-8477 or 315-349-3411

For those who know me well, know that I am very passionate about helping to locate missing loved ones and helping victims of crime. I also care about animals and their well-being. 

It hurts me to know that animals are put to sleep because they don’t have homes or that they are abused in any way. Also, many animals were adopted from shelters around the world during the pandemic and sadly, a lot of people changed their minds and dropped them back off at the shelters. Animals have feelings too and they get sad. If you look at an animals face, you can see the desperate look in their eyes while they are waiting to be rescued. That is why I picked the Humane Society of Durham Region because they really care about all animals and are trying their best to find them their forever homes.

When Betty White passed away,  I felt sad and I drew her and put a beautiful little fluffy kitten beside her. The portrait is called “The Love of Betty White”.

I'm selling the premium prints which are 5"x7" in size.

1 for $20 

3 for $50

7 for $100

All proceeds will be given to the Humane Society of Durham Region Animal Rescue, in Ontario Canada.

Can I count on you for a donation?

I would love to have you included in this fundraiser. I will sign all the prints on the bottom right corner in black marker before they are mailed out.

Please email me at [email protected] 

You can e-transfer or send a check to donate. Please feel free to ask any questions, I'll respond to you asap.

I would be honoured to have you part of "The Love of Betty White Portrait" fundraiser.

Also, I will have some photographs of the drawing on the website, “Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?”. Please check it out under Diana’s thoughts titled, The Love of Betty White.

A special heart to heart conversation with a beautiful mom Eva. She speaks about many beautiful memories of her son Kristofer Couture. 

For information or to report leads, please contact Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611.
Or,  if you wish to remain anonymous, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Kristofer Shawn Couture has been missing since January 26th, 2019.
Everyone loves Kristofer and needs for him to be located and brought back home. 
This interview was tough on my heart as I really care about Eva and her son Kristofer.  It hurts me to hear Eva so hurt. Every mom wants the best for her children and she loves him so very much. This interview brought me to tears, and even laughter to learn how Kris said Basagna....which was Lasagna. ( haha )
We are really hoping Kristofer will be located soon as we will never give up on finding this precious boy.
"Forever and always" - as his beautiful mom Eva said, at the end of this interview.

During these Holiday’s I can't help but think of all the sadness that is out there in this world.
I remember this precious homeless person in the busy downtown core of Toronto…the look in his eyes is something I will never forget.

In this touching episode you will hear the interview I did with missing Jane Bui’s children. They speak about what life is like living without their precious mom for so many years. The not knowing is the worst for Janette and Anthony. My heart hurts for both of them and for Jane.

“Closure would help heal my family’s souls and be able to actually celebrate her life and be more comfortable to know than not to know anything”.
~Anthony Bui speaking about the disappearance of his mom, Jane Bui 

“I have experienced so much pain wondering what happened to my mom, if she is alive or not. There are days when I wished she was here to talk to or have a shoulder to cry on or ask advise. My children and my unborn grandchild do not get a chance to meet or experience having a grandmother or great grandmother. Not knowing where she is, is the toughest part of all of this and not having her around. We were very close and like best friends. There are so many emotions that I experience; sad, lonely, angry, hurt, and so much more.”
~Janette Bui, Missing Jane Bui’s daughter.

The last time Janette saw her mom was on October 16, 1997. She came to the house and wanted Janette to go help her paint her home in Lincolnton, NC. Unfortunately, Janette was not able to go with her that day and told her that she would help her that weekend. That was the last time Janette saw her precious mom, Jane.

Jane’s vehicle was later discovered with a roommate/boyfriend in June 1998. Janette was told by the police that he was a person of interest and their main suspect but they never bought him in for questioning.
