🚨 Missing Boy – James Candy, 17 – Last Seen August 7, 2017 – Vegreville, Alberta

James Candy was last seen at his home located between Vegreville and Two Hills, Alberta on the evening of August 6, 2017. James was reportedly having a difficult summer and was uncertain about his plans for the fall. His family emphasized that no argument occurred the night he vanished, contrary to any rumors.

James went to bed around 11:00 p.m. on August 6. When his parents checked on him at 9:30 a.m. on August 7, he was gone. It’s believed he exited through his bedroom window sometime during the night. His parents searched the area, and upon returning to his room, discovered a suicide note. After a final attempt to find him outside, they contacted the RCMP.


The RCMP led a massive three-to-four-day search involving four fire departments and search dogs. Cadaver dogs with CASSDA tracked a scent to a slew northwest of the home, which was drained, but nothing was found.

James left behind all his belongings except his white/blue lasso rope, cowboy hat, and Swiss army knife—none of which have been recovered. He had been struggling with past bullying and challenges finding work.

🚨 Garçon Disparu – James Candy, 17 ans – Vu pour la Dernière Fois le 7 août 2017 – Vegreville, Alberta

James Candy a été vu pour la dernière fois à son domicile entre Vegreville et Two Hills (Alberta) le soir du 6 août 2017. Il traversait un été difficile et semblait incertain quant à ses projets futurs. Sa famille a précisé qu’aucune dispute n’a eu lieu, malgré certaines rumeurs.

James s’est couché vers 23 h le 6 août. Le lendemain matin, vers 9 h 30, ses parents ont découvert qu’il n’était plus là. Il aurait quitté la maison par la fenêtre de sa chambre durant la nuit. Après avoir trouvé une lettre de suicide, ses parents ont contacté la GRC.

La GRC a mené une vaste opération de recherche de trois à quatre jours avec quatre services d’incendie et des chiens pisteurs. Les chiens cadavres de CASSDA ont mené à un marécage au nord-ouest de la maison, mais rien n’a été retrouvé après avoir vidé la zone.

James a tout laissé derrière lui sauf sa corde blanche/bleue, son chapeau de cowboy et son couteau suisse – aucun de ces objets n’a été retrouvé. Il avait déjà été victime d’intimidation et avait des difficultés à trouver un emploi.
