On March 24, 1991 a four-year old Victoria boy disappeared off of a playground without a trace.
Michael Dunahee was playing at the Blanshard School playground, a short distance from his family when he disappeared. There were many people at the school at the time who had gathered to watch a touch football game.
When his family noticed Michael was missing, a massive search was launched involving hundreds of volunteers and police from multiple departments.
Now, 28 years later, it still remains the largest investigation in the Victoria Police Department’s history, and remains one of the largest missing child investigations in Canada.
