On this episode of The Lost Girls Podcast, we’re telling the story of a woman who seems to have slipped quietly out of sight—leaving behind questions that were never answered and a family still searching decades later.

Her name was Delores Marie Whiteman, known to those who loved her as Lolly.

Delores was a Native woman born on the Standing Buffalo Dakota First Nation in Saskatchewan. She was 42 years old when she was last seen. Near-sighted, often wearing glasses, remembered for her wide smile—and marked by distinctive tattoos and a birthmark just below her nose—Delores was not invisible. And yet, somewhere between the late 1970s and January 1, 1987, she disappeared.

Family members heard conflicting stories. Vancouver. Toronto. The Northwest Territories. Seattle. A man she was traveling with. A visit “from California.” Her last confirmed ties placed her in western Canada, but she was eventually reported missing in Regina, Saskatchewan. Years later, the Edmonton Police would open a case—long after critical time had already passed.

Tonight, we’re walking through what is known, what was overlooked, and what questions still linger in the disappearance of Delores “Lolly” Whiteman—because missing women deserve to be spoken about, remembered, and fought for.

She is not just a name on a file.
She is one of the lost girls.
