Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP20426) and 3 other sources
Kenneth Donald Brodacki, a 31-year-old pilot from Maple Ridge, British Columbia, disappeared on February 14, 1979. He was last seen in Okeechobee, Florida, after visiting relatives in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan earlier that day. Brodacki was known to have called a friend in Canada shortly after leaving Prince Albert, but his trail went cold after his confirmed sighting in Florida. Despite efforts by authorities and investigators, no contact has been made with him since that time.

Kenneth was a skilled pilot, and at the time of his disappearance, he was associated with a Beech 70 Queen Air twin-engine aircraft, which carried the call sign N7959R. This plane was last operated in 1980 and was later sold in 2006 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His disappearance remains a mystery, though it has been confirmed that he had been employed in Florida prior to his vanishing. Kenneth's family and the authorities have been seeking answers for decades, but despite available DNA records and continuing investigations, no significant breakthroughs have been made.

Kenneth had distinctive red or auburn hair, green eyes, and notable scars from reconstructive surgery on his nose and forehead. His case is still classified as endangered missing, and both Canadian and U.S. authorities continue to hope for new leads. His disappearance remains unsolved, and he has not been heard from or seen in over four decades.
