The Vanishing of The Jack Family | UNSOLVED

[@catraoinekelly2879]

Why target them? They were struggling and I doubt they had much to their name. The only thing they could get is to traffic the people I doubt that was around at that time. Maybe a thrill kill? Some killers have killed multiple people.

Unfortunately there are lots of vile humans out there who do use people's vulnerabilities against them. It's awful. I feel so bad for the Jack family. They were struggling and desperate for jobs. Unfortunately they came in contact with a pile of human trash instead of a genuine job offer.

[@NatureLover-62]

This story of the missing Jack family always saddens me. A couple wanting to care for their children were taken advantage of solely due to their underlying concern just for their children.

[@ntlcng]

This story really breaks my heart. This couple suffered so much in their lives and all they wanted was to give their children a better life. The fact that someone could be so cruel and callous as to make a whole family disappear is just unfathomable to me. I feel like the most likely thing that happened is that they met with foul play but I hope that they just decided to start over somewhere new and that they’ve lived a happy life.

The strangest thing about this case is that witnesses apparently not only heard that entire detailed conversation in the bar, but nobody intervened? I know this was decades ago when people were less suspicious, but if I overheard some guy offering a down-on-his-luck man and his wife perfect jobs and free daycare as long as they packed up their kids right that second at 1:00 am and left with him, I'd have some concerns. Makes me wonder how much of what supposedly happened even happened.

[@rockstarofredondo]

Yeah, I was wondering how did the story even get out if they left immediately with this supposed mysterious pale man? It seems like the extended family of the missing knew this elaborate story of them going missing but when were the missing couple actually able to tell their circle what they were even up to? Did they call them from a payphone at the bar or something? I don’t get it.

[@giiavvana]

Did you just like, not hear the part in the video where the father of the family called his parents and told them what was going on? He said they were only to be gone for 10-ish days, and I’m assuming he told them the story of why, hence why we know these details.

[@ejais]

There is a reason why MMIWgts existed for decades.....indigenous people are treated like second class citizens. The indifference to indigenous people lives is highlighted in how police treated cases and also the common conversations you see in coffee shops across canada. No one cared and same sentiments are still being shared across canada and the states. Helen Betty Osbourne's death showed how easy it was for a community to have knowledge of her brutal murder and keep quiet for decades. Books like "just another indian" are so numerous in verifying canada's indifference yet that knowledge hasn't made any change.... people still dont care. Squires Castle comment highlights the ignorance surrounded what life is like for indigenous people. Trust me when I say if a native man killed a non native person....no one would ignore that. So no Ronnie was not going to kill a non native and get away with it. Yet it took 8 years for the murder of George Many Shots to be seen as a hate crime.8 years. How many people know that? Hate crimes are rarely tried as such and is successfully tried. Why is it not common knowledge....no one cares what happens to indigenous people.

I remember this story. I was pleased police were actually investigating given their track record in some cases involving our Native & Inuit people. I think what moved people was that it was an *entire family* , nothing could be more horrendous. Two still very young parents, and two babies...god rest their innocent souls. Of course their lives mattered! Dig a little deeper please RCMP/local cops!! Rest In Peace, Ronnie, Doreen, and little Russell and Ryan.🌹😔🌹. 🇨🇦

[@ejais]

You will find indigenous people take offense when canadians use the term "our" when canadians speak about indigenous people. Reason being is that kind of claim to "ownership" is what created the indian act and all the horrific policies that oppressed indigenous people's lives. Indigenous people are their own sovereign people and did/do not want to be treated as children nor as second class citizens to be paraded out like the good silver as in the old days. side note on the case...since we do not know what happen to this family it is presumptuous to claim they are all deceased. If there is one thing I have learned about the 60s scoop is that A LOT of survivors were taken from their families and given completely different identities while being adopted out across the world. One survivor discovered she was declared deceased by canadian govt just so they could bypass legalities to adopted her to a family in the states. People were paid to sell indigenous children. In sk alone there was a social worker who was given a monetary award for apprehending the most children to be adopted out. The program AIM literally had a whole wall of children written up in newspapers to sell/adopt to non indigenous families around the world. BC got into trouble a few years back for trying the same thing.

And it's still so prevalent today, especially in Canada.

I live very near the area where this case took place...the same neighborhood, actually. I've walked the same streets and even been to the First Litre a few times. It's still there. The neighborhood was and is to this day, a low income area. There are a lot of problems with drugs, alcohol, and homelessness in the area. My partner and I are around the same age as Ronnie and Doreen were and the desire to find something better hits home very hard. My parents likely lived in the neighborhood when the Jacks disappeared. I can't help but wonder if they heard of anything. Edit: I asked. They were. At one point, the Jacks were their neighbors in the trailer park. They remembered the case completely and how shocked everyone was at the time. It's stuck with them all these years. It's heartbreaking and I truly hope that one day this family gets the closure they deserve.

Ronnie meets an unknown male who promises a well paying job and place to live for the entire family ....too good to be true. This man swindled these people into working in a logging ranch where Doreen could work as a cook and the kids had daycare. Not only that. The man offering the job was driving the entire family who had no car to this better life ... I'm sadly not surprised they were never seen or heard from again. The poor family. Kind trusting and desperate for a chance at a decent life were most likely murdered. There was no jobs or daycare at the Logging camp with the place to live and work in Burns Lake.

How did the couple fall for that "too good to be true" offer? I know that necessity speaks louder when a person has kids, but the offer was too sketchy. It looks like they were victims of a hate crime against indigenous people. It's a shame.

[@ea721]

this case is so, so tragic and horrifying. as much as i hate saying it, i feel like they probably were kidnapped, tortured and killed. the story kind of reminds me of the wells gray national park murders, where a lone perpetrator by opportunity came upon a camping family. he stalked them for a few days, and then attacked them during a late evening. he shot and killed the two parents and grandparents, and then held the two daughters captive for a couple of weeks before killing them as well. i feel like the man at the bar (obviously) was a sinister individual with some disturbing fantasies and, maybe under the influence of alcohol, saw his opportunity and took it. the jobs and daycare-story feels like something he made up during the conversation based on what information he was told to make the offer sound almost irresistable. at the same time, the jobs being specifically at a logging site may have been a go-to story to make sure in advance that no questions would be asked later on about being driven into the wilderness. maybe he had scouted the bar or area previously for possible victims, fitting the same profile as the Jacks. he obviously targeted an innocent and struggling indigenous family with undoubtedly sinister intentions and absolutely played on their desperation and hope for a better life. absolutely heartbreaking

[@SH-to8sh]

[@pygmybugs]

What surprised me most about this case is that the RCMP did anything at all. They have a loooooong history of neglecting to protect/find justice for First Nations people, even actively harming them for "fun." Some of the victim blaming comments here are also disappointing, if not surprising.

[@GoddesssAphrodite]

It all goes back to their background and history. Many barely have any families or anything is known about their past. There is just so much the RCMP can do. I have a First Nation friend who is a police officer and he says that many of these cases are very hard to solve because families don’t want to give out info due to ties to drugs and abuse.and since most of victims are homeless or don’t have any address or families they have issue tracing them. And also surprisingly many of the killings are done inside their own reserves and are kept a secret by members

[@sharonbrown6595]

My question is this. Most crimes r due to sex, money so what does anyone think was the motive would be to kill these four people ?? It’s terrible when these cases r not taken seriously. These two wanted so badly to raise healthy happy children and were killed for their efforts

[@ejais]

@@GoddesssAphrodite Do you know why the RCMP was created? To control and "address the indian problem". That mindset and training still continues today. Meaning your "first nation friend who is a police officer"(pretty racist statement in itself.."I know what I am talking about because I have a first nation police officer friend") is trained to see his own people as a problem and is trained to be biased. You just have to see the cases where native actors, used in the rcmp training videos, who were profiled by police members as criminals and treated as such with no crime committed. First nation relations with policing authorities have always been contentious because of systemic racism (who do you think was sent to remove children for residential schools and apprehend them if they ran away?). Then you have the starlight tours...a common issue among city police across canada. You own last comment highlights your ignorance and prejudice towards native people. Using blanketed ball park racism with no factual information to back up your statement raises big flags that you should not even feel entitled to contribute to this discussion.

[@belvedere6368]

This case strikes me as so odd. It seems like the probable perpetrator would have had no way to pre-meditate anything given the spontaneous nature of Ronnie meeting the stranger. Also, I find it strange that he readily put himself in a position where it would be 4 against 1 instead of just taking Ronnie somewhere on his own. Just such a strange case. I hope one day the family can be given justice and the Jack's returned home. Edit: Not sure why people in the replies are being strange about my opinion but whatever. When I say 4 against 1 I don't necessarily mean that I think the kids are gonna put up a big fight and be a massive adversary for the stranger. I mean that the stranger willingly put himself in a situation where he would need to physically have control over four beings without any of them running away. Could you imagine trying to wrangle two children and two adults that don't want to do what you want? Much more difficulty than only having to deal with one or two people.

[@sandrafaith]

I think the probable perpetrator was looking for a good mark for who knows how long, and finally found one in Mr. Jack. (It may have seemed spontaneous to us, but who knows how many others were considered before Mr. Jack showed up.)

Talking about cold cases in the media is the best way to help get them solved, at least when there are no bodies.

[@BriBri9380]

I know times were really hard back then for them..I wish they would have said no thank you..this is too too good to be true 😔. I pray the family gets found.

[@jordankniert2049]

There is an old logging camp along the pit river always had me wondering

[@kunalsen2123]

I absolutely love this narrator's voice.

[@poppyfield1619]

Me too it is very soothing

[@zq9m3xh8]

Absolutely heartbreaking.

[@Illtakeamoodringtogoplease]

My horrible thought is that the family was trafficked to one buyer who immediately killed the father. The mother and kids were split up and resold to specific individuals who were ‘film makers.’ I think I’ve watched too many episodes of underbelly.

[@shannonmorrison7455]

This story always breaks my heart. Being native American myself it's scary how many crimes that are committed against my people and the police doesn't always help.

[@i.p.956]

This should have rang alarm bells for them straight away. I would have instantly asked "why are you rushing us to leave tonight". I get that desperate people do desperate things but it seems a bit too trusting to just leave in the middle of the night with some random stranger you met at a bar. The poor family was targeted for some reason, clearly this guy intended to kill them but the question is why.

[@uglyhobo4602]

Lol that's too funny and crazy

[@AshesAshes44]

It's wise to remember that being rushed is a warning sign. If you're not being given time to make a prudent decision, tell family and friends, check references, etc. there might be a very bad reason. Nice people will understand, and who cares what the bad guys want?

[@thorpland]

I've never heard of this case before. What could the possible motive for this be? Serial killers don't usually murder entire families...

[@edamnaf9265]

why do you not have 1000000 followers??? Your content is excellent!

[@haletosis1380]

I think because KZbin doesn't push her channel in the ridiculous algorithm. Case in point, I started watching DC at the same time as another newish true crime channel guy. She had over a hundred thousand subs, he only about 50Gs. A year later she barely grew, and this other dudes was pushing near million. Why? Let the discussion begin

[@lion-dm4wc]

My guess is that people prefer solved cases.

[@mgjbutler]

This is right near where I am and this story has always bothered me. It's just Burns Lake, BC though. Prince George is a big city further away from Burns Lake. I really hope this mystery can be solved at some point. I can't even begin to imagine what this family's loved ones are feeling. It is very much in the spotlight where we live. It is brought up over and over again so it is not forgotten.

[@GL_1402]

Also noticed this mistake, wondering how she got the added together, tho. Weird to have many stories like this so close to home.

[@leandragilmour2806]

They left after drinking in a bar. They say Mr Jack had a couple of drinks. We don’t know how long the stranger had been drinking. It’s possible the stranger fell asleep at the wheel or left the road because he was too drunk and the vehicle could have ended up in water or over a steep embankment. I’ve traveled those roads, you have to be focused, especially at 1:00 am. Many people have died trying to avoid a large animal. I’d check all water sources, and there are many.

[@SH-to8sh]

Maybe but I don't know..no one was hiring and a day care was available at a dangerous logging camp. An accident seems likely but I don't think that was what happened in this case

[@GL_1402]

If so, the vehicle would have definitely been found, I know what you mean. These roads here can be terrible l, but this theory doesn't work.

[@anneloving8405]

Day care facility at a logging camp???🚩

[@shilogall8038]

I doubt that happened, because then not just the Jacks would be missing, it would be him too. And if one has just abducted 4 ppl, his adrenaline is gonna be off the charts.

[@cyndybutler7330]

Glad you did this on native people so little is ever reported

[@cassiem3893]

Very sad case. I’m from BC, and it just hits home that much more. The Natives were cut such an awful hand. So very few survived with the ability to progress in life and start a family of their own. There are so many underlying issues with drugs and alcohol, etc. Then to see a family actually form and thrive, only for this to happen. It’s just not fair!!! 😢😥

[@mjanny6330]

Considering they lost a war they started, the hand they were dealt was way too good. The only people in history to start a war, lose it, and still walk away with all the loot.

[@yelloweyeball]

Someone should make a Wikipedia page for the disappearance. There's one for the Highway of tears, but only Doreen is mentioned on it.

[@corinnem4807]

So I live in the area, and just so you know, Burns Lake is its own town while Prince George is its own city. So Burns Lake is about 200 km away from Prince George. But great coverage on a very strange mystery thank you

[@ivia_ol8356]

This was no way premeditated. The one thing that stands out is that "the mysterious man offered him to drive the family to the farm himself, under one condition, if they leave immediately. If not the offer would be off the table". Unfortunate circumstances brought by the conversation.

[@Dumbsportsfan-w5f]

That was the first warning sign

[@susieq8253]

If it’s too good to be true then it’s too good to be true! Saddest case I’ve ever heard.

[@kathleencalhoun2225]

Sounds like a thrill kill. Murderer figured no one would miss them, but at the same time, he still didn't want to get caught. Opportunistic murderer. My own thoughts: The Jack family should have dampened their enthusiasms and used their heads by getting a second opinion on this, specifically finding out whether anyone could vouch for this guy as to his sincerity. I mean, it did seem rather odd that their new employer needed to leave lickety split at 1:00 o'clock in the morning (what's the rush and because it's unheard of hiring someone that early in the a.m. on the spot to report for work) and also, why is it that this employment just happened to be conveniently equipped with a day care facility, some rough logging camp providing an amenity like day care for its employees?! Never heard of such a thing. I would think that inquiring from someone familiar with that logging area they were headed for would certainly be worth making before choosing to leave with a stranger you know nothing about whom you just met in a bar. Despite their lack of judgment, I still feel bad about the horrific thing that I know must have happened to them.

[@christopherwalkinalloverya5824]

The man responsible for their disappearance is probably a loner with a strong hatred for indigenous people. He probably has poor hygiene and lives in a very remote area with no neighbors for miles around. And I can almost guarantee he's responsible for one or more of *"The Highway of Tears"* murders/disappearances.

[@BetterSmartTech0813]

True. One of my neighbors hated squirrels so he traps them and kills them by the dozens.

[@mearapalmer6180]

The officer that told her not to speak ought to be reprimanded or fired.

[@victoriawilliams2786]

It sounds like a killer used the families desperation against them for nothing more than thrill killing.

[@brookestafford2023]

KEEP SHARING COLD CASES AND GIVE UPDATES. I HOPE THERE BE ANSWERS FOR THE FAMILIES/VICTIMS AND JUSTICE FOR THE SUSPECTS.

[@GL_1402]

I really dont know what you mean by South side, burns lake, Prince George. The south side, Burns Lake is a different place then Prince George, not the same

[@cleoldbagtraallsorts3380]

This is a very perplexing and tragic case. The motive for family murders is usually money or to preserve a reputation or keep something secret, but none of those motives would apply if the killer was a stranger. It wasn't a drug deal either. The Jack's cannot have provoked it in any way as the man was a stranger. If the motive was sexual it's unlikely the stranger was into men, women and children. If he wanted to, he could have targeted a woman or child who would be easier to subdue than an entire family. I don't believe the family ran away to start a new life as they had no reason to and were close with their families. I don't believe they are still alive, because they would have been in touch with their families. If they were used as forced labour I believe they would eventually have escaped and it's unlikely their captor could have successfully controlled them for this length of time. Possibly, the vehicle did slip off the road into a body of water and all drowned ( it's happened so many times before )but even if this is the case, the stranger's insistence that they go immediately to his property is a major red flag.

[@SH-to8sh]

Exactly, I guess there's no clear motive here which is the most frustrating part of the case. I also feel like Ronnie wanted to back out by saying he doesn't have a car to go there, I've heard different versions of this story & in one of them the family had left in their own car. Could he have been forced into something that night or pressured after resisting to take the job?? It's just a very random and brutal attack on an unsuspecting family for some unknown reason.

[@kumanisuje711]

They were just trying to live their life trying hard to look for a job and for someone it was just opportunity makes me really sad. I hope their families have closure soon.. 🖤

[@kellycho5582]

I did think about the pig farm men. But one of the things I’ve been taught by my Indigenous nation is about organ harvesting.

[@dessertstorm7476]

[@laurametheny1008]

Thanks DC🙏💔🦌

[@consciousobserver629]

A logging ranch with a day care? That sounds totally bizarre. It seems they befell a vicious fate. 😢

[@SH-to8sh]

not really...could've been ladies looking after the kids. In this case it sounds like a lie tho

[@leeneufeld4140]

The real red flag was the come now or the offer is off. That would have set most people's alarms going, I would think. It may have set theirs off, but like many others have, they ignored their instincts and made the more "rational" choice.

[@SH-to8sh]

@@leeneufeld4140 I would think people who make job offers normally say thinks like "I'll talk to my boss and see what's available" or "I just need to make a few calls to get the contract sorted out for you." not just "get there tonight and the job's all yours." This strange man definitely had an evil plan concocted that night.

[@Julia-jane]

I wouldn't be surprised if they were sold into slavery, separated from the kids and can't go to the police because their captors will hurt them and vice versa - that's the only reason I can imagine for having a whole family. Whatever happened to them I bet their love for eachother was used against them. I will pray for their souls and hope that karma comes knocking for their abductor and any others involved. The universe will restore the balance I'm sure ✌🏻🙏🏻⚖️

[@FallenAngel9979]

Unbelievable that they didn’t see a red flag the minute the stranger said they’d have to go that night or lose the job. I reckon they were killed….poor family.

[@charliekezza]

Had not heard this story love hearing new things. At first i was thinking it was Ronnie but that strange man?

[@sandic3892]

I agree with the other people who said if it sounds to good ,it probably is. May they all rest in peace.

[@shareenepoole9834]

When cases are difficult or are on ice for decades start looking at law enforcement or someone with a military or legal background

[@polarbear1754]
