February 17, 2018, was the last time anyone saw Ryan Shtuka.
The 6 years since Ryan’s disappearance have brought unimaginable grief. But what the family never expected was the extensive community support – even from people who never met Ryan.
Despite the years passing by, Ryan’s family members say they won’t stop searching until they can bring him home.
“We’re always searching we’re always creating awareness because it’s the last physical thing we can do for our son,” Heather said. “There’s nothing else we can give him besides all the love that we have. But I need him to know that no matter where he is, that he matters and he deserves to come home.”
Disappearance Of Ryan Shtuka
On December 1, 2017, Ryan Shtuka and his best friend arrived in Sun Peaks, British Columbia with plans to spend the winter season doing seasonal work and snowboarding.
Ryan was living in a residence with roommates in Sun Peaks and worked as a lift operator for the ski resort.
On February 16, 2018, Ryan left home after work and went with his roommates to a local pub for a Silent Disco event. The group later left the pub and went to a house party, located just a few minutes away from their residence.
The circumstances of Ryan Shtuka’s disappearance remain unclear and his case is currently classified as missing. His case remains unsolved.
On February 17, 2018, Ryan was last seen leaving the house party on Burfield Drive in Sun Peaks, British Columbia, around 2:10 am.
When the group of friends decided to leave the party, Ryan was reportedly seen standing up, believed to be putting on his coat and shoes. His roommates then walked out of the door with the belief that Ryan was right behind.
By the time they turned around, Ryan was nowhere to be seen. They initially assumed that he was either lagging behind to tie his shoes or decided to stay at the party so they went home without him, about a five minute walk.
Ryan Shtuka never returned home and hasn’t been heard from since. His roommates filed a missing person’s report with the Kamloops Royal Canadian Mounted Police when Ryan failed to show up for work later that day.
Investigation
Authorities conducted an extensive search of the area Ryan was last seen with the help of Kamloops Search and Rescue, as well as volunteer teams, canine units, drones, snowmobiles, and helicopters, but found no signs of Ryan Shtuka.
His phone record, bank account, and social media have had no activity since he disappeared. His family believes Ryan likely succumbed to the elements and his body is somewhere in Sun Peaks.
Police found no evidence of foul play in Ryan Shtuka’s disappearance. A $15,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Ryan’s discovery.
The circumstances of Ryan Shtuka’s disappearance remain unclear and his case is currently classified as missing. His case remains unsolved.
