The Hanna Family is in our thoughts and prayers as tonight marks 37 years since Lois vanished 🙏❤️🕊
Just before midnight on Sunday, July 3, 1988, 25-year-old Lois Hanna was seen for the last time. She had spent the evening socializing with friends and family at the “Celebrate in ’88” Homecoming in Lucknow, Ontario. By all accounts, she made it back to her home in Kincardine, about a 30 minute drive away. Her car was in the driveway. The doors were locked. But Lois was gone.
She never showed up for work the next morning. Sometime in the early morning hours of July 4, 1988, Lois disappeared, seemingly into thin air.
A concerned co-worker, sent to check on her, climbed through a small bathroom window. Inside, the house was eerily quiet—no signs of a break-in, but unmistakable signs that Lois had been there. Her outfit from the evening before was put away neatly in her closet. The TV was on. A half-finished cup of tea sat on the kitchen counter, as though Lois had set it there to answer the door. She had returned home. But something—or someone—intervened.
For 37 years, Lois’s loved ones have lived in limbo, haunted by questions and aching for answers. No struggle. No witnesses. No goodbye. Lois’s mother, Olive, passed without ever knowing what happened to her only daughter.
Someone knows what happened that night.
