Season 2 Wrap Up, Plus A Very Special Tribute to Someone Who has Gone Too Soon

We are wrapping up Season 2 with some heartfelt thoughts that Diana shares. Also, a very special tribute to someone who has gone too soon.

Ryan Shtuka Turns 25 Today, March 17th 2022 as shown in his Forensic Age Progression. Ryan Mysteriously Disappeared on February 17, 2018 in the Ski Resort Village of Sun Peaks, BC, Canada. A special interview with Heather Shtuka, the search continues.

I recently interviewed Heather Shtuka, Ryan’s mom for my Podcast, “Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?”. In this episode you will hear a personal conversation between us about her missing precious son, Ryan. Forensic Age Progression Sketch: I completed Ryan's forensic age progression sketch to the age of 25 years old, which he would turn on March 17th, 2022. This took approximately 1.5 months to complete, as I feel it is important to take my time as I work on a missing person so I can age appropriate. My most commonly used medium is a 0.7mm led pencil, which is what I used to do this drawing. There isn’t a large gap of time In the years that Ryan has been missing when it comes to age progressing, but enough that it will seen like a lot to his loved ones. As I age progressed Ryan, he looks like a young man now with some facial hair, faint moustache, his bone structure is more pronounced and his chin is more defined. His neck is a little thicker and his Adam's apple is more apparent. He has broader shoulders and his eyes remain gentle just like they appeared in his earlier photographs. This is a healthy, physically fit forensic age progression sketch of Ryan Shtuka. It is my hope that people will view him as what I feel he would look like at the age of 25. Circumstances: Ryan had moved to Sun Peaks, British Columbia on December 1st, 2017, he was last seen on Saturday February 17th, 2018. Ryan is 20 years old and 6′ tall with a lean build. He has blond hair, brown eyes and weighs 180 lbs. He was last seen wearing dark jeans, a grey & white shirt, blue coat and a burgundy ball cap. There is a $15,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of Ryan. If you have any information about Ryan Shtuka, please contact the Kamloops RCMP: 1- 250-828-3000 or you may call Crime Stoppers Canada: 1-800-222-8477. https://www.canadiancrimestoppers.org/tips You may also submit a tip to the website, “Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?"

The Love of Betty White (Golden Girls) Portrait Fundraiser to Save Unwanted & Abused Animals. All proceeds will go to the Humane Society of Durham Region Animal Rescue.

For those who know me well, know that I am very passionate about helping to locate missing loved ones and helping victims of crime. I also care about animals and their well-being. It hurts me to know that animals are put to sleep because they don’t have homes or that they are abused in any way. Also, many animals were adopted from shelters around the world during the pandemic and sadly, a lot of people changed their minds and dropped them back off at the shelters. Animals have feelings too and they get sad. If you look at an animals face, you can see the desperate look in their eyes while they are waiting to be rescued. That is why I picked the Humane Society of Durham Region because they really care about all animals and are trying their best to find them their forever homes. When Betty White passed away, I felt sad and I drew her and put a beautiful little fluffy kitten beside her. The portrait is called “The Love of Betty White”. I'm selling the premium prints which are 5"x7" in size. 1 for $20 3 for $50 7 for $100 All proceeds will be given to the Humane Society of Durham Region Animal Rescue, in Ontario Canada. Can I count on you for a donation? I would love to have you included in this fundraiser. I will sign all the prints on the bottom right corner in black marker before they are mailed out. Please email me at dianatrepkov@gmail.com You can e-transfer or send a check to donate. Please feel free to ask any questions, I'll respond to you asap. I would be honoured to have you part of "The Love of Betty White Portrait" fundraiser. Also, I will have some photographs of the drawing on the website, “Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?”. Please check it out under Diana’s thoughts titled, The Love of Betty White. Website www.canihelpfindyourmissinglovedone.com I'm honoured to have all of us included in this fundraiser and I would like to thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart! Diana xo

My heart hurts for both of them and for Jane. “Closure would help heal my family’s souls and be able to actually celebrate her life and be more comfortable to know than not to know anything”. ~Anthony Bui speaking about the disappearance of his mom, Jane Bui “I have experienced so much pain wondering what happened to my mom, if she is alive or not. There are days when I wished she was here to talk to or have a shoulder to cry on or ask advise. My children and my unborn grandchild do not get a chance to meet or experience having a grandmother or great grandmother. Not knowing where she is, is the toughest part of all of this and not having her around. We were very close and like best friends. There are so many emotions that I experience; sad, lonely, angry, hurt, and so much more.” ~Janette Bui, Missing Jane Bui’s daughter. The last time Janette saw her mom was on October 16, 1997. She came to the house and wanted Janette to go help her paint her home in Lincolnton, NC. Unfortunately, Janette was not able to go with her that day and told her that she would help her that weekend. That was the last time Janette saw her precious mom, Jane. Jane’s vehicle was later discovered with a roommate/boyfriend in June 1998.

Diana Trepkov's Exclusive Thoughts on Life During this Summer & the Importance of Giving Back

An intimate update during the summer of 2021.

June 6th, 2021 Marks One Year Since Shane Smith Was Fatally Shot. Beautiful & Loving Sister, Cassie Lynn opens up about this horrific year as they continue to search for her brother’s body in the Bow River, Calgary Alberta, Canada.

This was a very sad and painful interview, to learn and hear more facts about what happened to Shane on that horrific night of June 6th, 2020. I couldn’t help but feel helpless and down. Protective and loving sister, Cassie Lynn opens up and talks about where Shane was, when he tragically was killed. My heart hurts to know and see how the Smith family and friends are suffering through this unimaginable loss of someone they love so much. Shane Smith needs to be located so he can have a proper funeral and be honoured, he deserves this. His loving family and friends need to say goodbye to their precious missing loved one. Written by Cassie, Shanes big sister: ~June 6th, 2020. The worst day of my life. Of any parents, siblings, friends life. This was the day, one year ago, that someone who was supposed to be my little brother's friend, carelessly took his life. The day he had other's who were supposed to be friends, dispose of his body instead of calling for help. Instead of telling the truth. Shane Eric James Smith was born on October 16, 1999. The happiest day of my life getting to become a big sister. I remember hearing my mom had the baby and getting so excited I jumped and landed on scissors cutting my knee open. A scar I can look at for the rest of my life remembering the joy of that day. Now there is also a permanent scar on my heart from loosing him. Over the last year since Shane tragically lost his life a few things have happened. Three men have been charged and one has been sentenced. The man who irresponsibly pointed a gun at my brother, without checking to see if there was a round chambered, Ian Charles Ambercrombie, was sentenced on December 18th. 2020, after pleading guilty to "Criminal Negligence Causing Death and Indignity to a Human Body." His sentence is short and in my opinion not fair for what he did at all. Two others have been charged as well. Andrew Leger-Wagner and Andrew Bablitz. Both with "Obstruction of Justice and Indignity to a Human Body" as well as some firearms charges. Wagner will see a sentencing in November and Bablitz is going to trial in December. For now, they remain out on bail walking the streets like they have done nothing wrong. While one of them even claims to have done nothing, when we know that is not the case. In addition to the legal things that have happened, many searches for Shane have gone out. Many volunteers on boats, rafts, with dog teams and we are so grateful to all who have tried to help. Flyers have gone up many many times and continue to do so. Support wear has been purchased and worn as well as car decals and the support is amazing. My brother is believed to be in the Bow River, but if anyone has any other information that could help locate him I beg and plead for them to come forward. He did not deserve this and does not deserve to be out there all alone. He deserves to be laid to rest properly and have a goodbye from all who love him. Thank you for listening and sharing this podcast. Please help us bring Shane home and get justice for him. #JUSTICEFORSHANE Sincerely,Cassie Smith (June. You used to be my favourite month. Time for joy and fun. Now all you bring is intense pain and heartache. The calendar on my wall hasn’t moved since the day my world came crashing down. Since my favourite person in the world was taken from me and everyone who loved him. I’m not sure how to face the days coming at all.) ~I interviewed Cassie last year and this was released on September 7th, 2020. For anyone who has missed that interview, you can listen to it on the Podcast, “Can I Help Find Your Missing Loved One?”

Locate International https://locate.international/missing-persons/charles-horvath-allan/ Additional Information was mentioned by Sgt Paul Gosling in this podcast episode about Dana Bradley who was tragically murdered. The killer has not been caught. ~Dana Bradley disappeared on the evening of 14 December 1981, while hitchhiking on Topsail Road in St. John's. She had been at a friend's home after school and was on her way home to a family birthday party. When she did not arrive, the family reported her missing to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.[1] An eyewitness reported seeing Bradley getting into a car with a male driver.[2] Bradley's body was found in a wooded area on the Maddox Cove Road south of St. John's four days after she disappeared. Her skull had been fractured by a blunt object and she had been sexually assaulted.[3] The body was laid out in "burial fashion" with her schoolbooks tucked under her arm.[1] The subsequent investigation has been described as (then) "the most expensive and exhaustive murder investigation in Canadian history". Hundreds of people were interviewed; thousands of tips were received and investigated. More than 800 cars were examined in the weeks following Bradley's disappearance. The initial task force was composed of 35 full-time investigators from the RCMP and the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.[4] Dana was a personal friend of mine (Paul Gosling) as we grew up as neighbours, selling lemonade, riding bikes, going to the traveling fair. We were quite close, until she moved to another neighbourhood when she was around 13 years old. If you have any information about Charles Horvath-Allan or Dana Bradley, please contact us. Thank you.
