Victoria, BC – Today marks the 29^th anniversary of Michael Dunahee’s disappearance.

On March 24^th, 1991, at approximately 12:30 p.m., four-year-old Michael Dunahee disappeared from the area of the Blanshard School playground, just a short distance away from his family.  Many families and spectators were in the area at the time for a touch football game.  An extensive search was launched for Michael, which involved hundreds of volunteers and police from multiple agencies.
