In the spring of 1984, a sense of unease settled over the town of Peace River, Alberta, with the disappearance of 50-year-old Roger Leo Belanger. He was last seen at his home on May 14, 1984. At the time he went missing, he was described as being 5'7" and weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had a noticeable appendectomy scar and a deformity on the second toe of his left foot. When he was last seen, he was wearing a beige, knit sweater with brown elbow patches, a red short-sleeved shirt with snap buttons, medium blue brushed denim pants, and brown leather boots with a white fleece lining. The circumstances surrounding Roger Belanger's disappearance remain unclear. He vanished from his own residence, and what happened after that is a mystery. His case took on a more complex and troubling dimension when it was mentioned in connection with another local disappearance that occurred just four days later. An 18-year-old woman, Carolyn Pruyser, also went missing from Peace River, leading to speculation and concern within the community. The proximity of the two disappearances raised questions and deepened the investigation, though the exact connection between the two cases, if any, has not been publicly clarified. The investigation into Roger Belanger's disappearance has spanned decades, yet he has never been found. A significant point of interest in the broader investigation of disappearances in the area at that time was the discovery of what appeared to be a fresh grave in a remote area by two hunters. This discovery was made shortly after both Belanger and Pruyser went missing. Despite this and other investigative leads, the case has grown cold over the years. The official classification of his case is that of a missing person. The lack of resolution has left his family and the community with unanswered questions about the events that transpired in May of 1984, and the case of Roger Leo Belanger remains an unsolved mystery.
