Our next expert guest speaker on my Podcast "Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?" is Duane Bowers.  Such an amazing, informative  interview...one that I will never ever forget. 

I am so honoured as Duane Bowers (LPC) is amazing, understanding, knowledgeable and therapeutic! Duane gives outstanding advice to families. What many families are going through is also "Trauma" with having a loved one missing and what he explains really helped for me to understand how important it is to have a counsellor to help guide families through this nightmare they are living. Duane does Hypnotherapy, Althernative Healing and his Couseling Options include: Crisis and Trauma, Grief Therapy, Addiction and Anger Management. He is extremely knowledgeable.    

In my opinion, he is definitely one of the best in the world. I hope you will find this interview with Duane as inspirational and theraputic as I did. Thank you Duane for your genuine heart and soul. 

~Duane T. Bowers, is the author of Guiding Your Family Through Loss and Grief, and A Child is Missing: Providing Support for Families of Missing Children (National Centre of Missing & Exploited Children), Caring Hearts-Supporting Families of missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls & Other Missing Persons (Department of Justice Canada), and also hosted the live, call-in internet radio show LET’S TALK IT THROUGH. Duane is Remarkable!

Patsy Clark has been a missing person for over 33 years now. That is a long time of not knowing where your missing loved one is. She disappeared on March 4th, 1987. What happened to her? Where is she today?

We are really hoping someone will come forward and give us that information.

I had interviewed her son David Clark for the Podcast, "Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?"
If you know what happened to Pasty Clark or where she is today, please call the police or contact David Clark.

A quick 8 minute update. Diana gives an update on the podcast and speaks from her heart, including discussing her father which will be in more detail in a future episode.

I interviewed a very special mom whose name is Muriel Bacsu who wants her missing beautiful daughter home where she belongs. It was a heartfelt conversation I had with Shelley's mom. Strange how things work out in life, she actually "lifted my spirits" so high with her amazing attitude and grace. With her faith and her love for Shelley, she forgives the people who hurt her daughter and is asking someone to come forward so they can have a proper burial for Shelley. 

On May 3, 1983, Shelley-Anne went to her boyfriend’s house at Sunset Trailer Court in Hinton, Alberta, Canada. She called to say she would be home soon, unfortunately she never made it back home and was never seen again. A few days later, some of Shelley-Anne’s personal belongings were found about three miles from her home. A jacket, a bra, pantyhose, a student union card and a library book that had been checked out that day. These were all found alongside of Highway 40 near the Athabasca River. 

Sadly, it has been 37 years since Shelley-Anne Bucsu was last seen alive in Hinton, Alberta. Shelley was only 16 years old when she disappeared. She had her whole life ahead of her, it hurts me so much that her life was taken away so soon and that her family doesn’t have any answers.

Thank you Muriel Bacsu for speaking from your heart. You are amazing and I feel both of your children - sadly Shelly-Anne’s brother has passed away from cancer, are smiling as they are watching over you and your husband. 

In Loving Memory of Missing Shelley-Ann and Tim.💞🌹

Anyone with information about Shelley’s whereabouts is asked to contact the following; Hinton Royal Canadian Mounted Police 1-780-865-2455
Edmonton RCMP 1-780-509-3278 (Darren) or 1-780-509-3262 (Jason)
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS

The Chief has a passion for policing and it is evident in his 30-year career in law enforcement.

The Chief is very passionate about solving two cases that are very close to his heart. You will hear about them in this interview. I have witnessed this first hand as we have worked together on the missing Steven William Branston case. I completed two forensic art age progressions of Steven to the age of 40 years back in 2016. Steven William Branston was reported missing in Lakeport, California in October 1996 but last known to be in Honolulu, Hawaii in August 1996. 

You will also hear how the Chief is determined to solve the homicide of 43-year-old Barbara Gaye LaForge. This is a very sad case and what happened to Barbara should have never happened to any human being. Barbara was shot four times at close range with a .22-caliber weapon at the Wildwood Frame Shop and Inspirations Gallery on Main St. in downtown Lakeport, California on October 8th, 2002.

Solving these cases continues to be Chief Rasmussen’s highest priority.
If you know where Steven Branston is today or who murdered Barbara Gaye LaForge please contact us with that information.
