PRINCE GEORGE–It’s been over 30 years since a family of four went missing in Prince George, and police have yet to give up on the investigation.

Ronald Jack, his partner Doreen and two children, 9-year-old Russell and 4-year-old Ryan were last heard at around 1:21 AM on Wednesday August 2nd, 1989, when Ronnie called his mother, who lived in the Burns Lake area. RCMP say they believe the family left their home shortly after the call with an unknown male in a dark coloured 4×4 pick-up.

The family was expected to return within ten days, however, has not been seen since.

RCMP have conducted hundreds of interviews, identified and searched several homes as possible burial sites for the Jack family throughout the years and have all turned up nothing. “I want to thank everyone who helped with the search for their support, even though there was nothing found” says Marlene Jack, Doreen’s sister and spokesperson for the family. “I would like to ask from the bottom of my heart that everyone with information come forward to police. Please help bring our family home.”

  • Caucasian male
  • 35-40 years old
  • 6′ to 6’6″ ft
  • Reddish-brown hair with a full beard
  • Wearing a ball cap, red checkered work shirt, faded blue jeans, blue nylon jacket, and work boots with leather fringes over the toes.

The investigation continues to be led by the PG RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit and remains active. Anyone with informations is asked to contact the PG RCMP at 250-561-3300, or Crime Stoppers at 1(800)222-8477.
