10 years on, Lake disappearance remains a mystery

It’s still one of the biggest unsolved mysteries on the Sunshine Coast.

On November 27, 2005 80 year-old Rhody Lake left her home in Sechelt for a walk near Porpoise Bay Provincial Park… and disappeared.

Family and friends have accepted Lake is dead, and earlier this year the BC Supreme Court granted the family’s request to have that legally declared.

But Constable Harrison Mohr of Sunshine Coast RCMP says it’s still an active missing persons case, and police are hoping to put the final pieces together so Lake’s family can know exactly what happened.

“We had a prolonged investigation, and we’ve also gotten some tips over the years from the public, but her disappearance does remain a mystery and we don’t really have much to go on at this time,” he says. “Certainly if the public has any other tips or information they haven’t already conveyed to police we’d love to hear from them.”

The only clue RCMP have is that Lake was last seen on Sechelt Inlet Road, talking to a tall older man with grey hair and a tan jacket who was walking a medium-to-large sized dog.

Police have never been able to identify that man, and he’s never come forward.

On the 5th anniversary of her disappearance RCMP and Crime Stoppers produced a special feature to try to generate fresh leads:
