A woman who went missing from her Surrey, B.C., home more than 50 years ago has been found alive in Yukon.
Police say Lucy Johnson was last seen by a neighbour in September 1961 in the 10300 block of 145A Street in Surrey, a city of about 500,000 that's part of metro Vancouver.
During the initial police investigation, her husband at the time, Marvin Johnson, was considered a suspect, in part because he didn't tell police she was missing until 1965.
Police excavated his yard looking for clues into her disappearance, but found nothing. Marvin Johnson died in the late 1990s.
In June, Johnson's disappearance was highlighted by Surrey RCMP as a cold case — part of their "missing of the month" series.
Her daughter, Linda, also took out advertisements in a newspaper in northern B.C., because her mother was originally from Alaska.
Soon afterward, Linda discovered her mother, now 77 years old, has been living in Yukon and has another family.
"The original daughter of Lucy Johnson, who went above and beyond to promote and try to generate tips all over B.C., actually somehow connected with a stepsister, who she did not know she had at the time," said Cpl. Bert Paquet, spokesman for Surrey RCMP.
"We received a phone call from a woman in the Yukon who called and claimed that she had seen the picture of the missing person in the free newspapers and said the missing person we were looking for was actually her mother," he said.
"The stars aligned, the timing was perfect."
Paquet says the experience has been emotional for both families, who have asked for privacy during this time.
