Missing: Gloria Abotossaway

Canada's Missing link to Gloria's Case

Last seen: February 14, 1992

Gloria Jean Abotossaway, who is known as Marty, was last seen on Friday, February 14, 1992. She was 28 years old at the time.

She was residing at 90 Shuter Street at the time of her disappearance and told family members she was going to Moss Park with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is only known as 'Lenny', and they were apparently going to meet a man called 'Bob Russo'.

Investigators urge anyone with any information about the identities of 'Lenny' or 'Bob Russo' to contact them.

Gloria left behind most of her belongings at her address but she did take her Birth Certificate and status card with her. Her card has been inactive.

She was a member of the Aundeck Omni Kaning First Nations, otherwise known as Sucker Creek First Nations in Little Current, Manitoulin.

She had previously gone missing but would always return within a month.

On the same night as her disappearance David Marlatt was killed in Gloria's apartment. Two men were charged and convicted of his death. Officers spoke with Gloria that night and it was determined she was not involved but she went missing shortly after. The reason for her disappearance is still unknown but investigators are trying to determine if it was as a result of the homicide.

Gloria is described as 5'2", 130 lbs., with long brown hair and brown eyes.

Investigators and her family continue to appeal for her safe return. Officers want to stress she is not in any trouble.

A family photo of Gloria from when she was 18 has been released, as well as two artist renditions of what investigators believe Gloria would look like today aged 57.

Gloria's family and friends are searching for answers, justice, and closure. Anyone with information about Gloria's whereabouts, no matter how small, is urged to contact:
