Summary

UPDATE: Calgary police have confirmed that Deeanna’s remains were discovered on April 16, 2026, and have stated that her death is not considered criminal in nature. Our thoughts are with Shelby and all of Deeanna’s loved ones during this difficult time. When Deeanna Erickson boarded a bus in Calgary on the night of June 6, 2025, something went wrong. Surveillance footage shows the 31 year old visibly distressed, crying and rocking back and forth, before suddenly stepping off in the Walden area, more than 10 kilometres from her home. She hasn’t been seen since. In this episode, I’m joined by Deeanna’s sister, Shelby Erickson, who shares the story of that night, the search that followed, and the ongoing fight to find answers.
