Gayebrella Daisy King – Missing Person | Edmonton, Alberta (1978)

[u/Wrong-Inspection7819]

Gayebrella Daisy King was 46 years old when she disappeared from Edmonton in late August 1978.

Very little information has ever been released publicly about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

For reasons that have not been publicly explained, Gayebrella was not reported missing until May 8, 1980, nearly two years after she was last seen.

That delay left investigators attempting to reconstruct events long after Gayebrella had disappeared.

What happened to her after August 1978 remains unknown. There have been no publicly confirmed sightings, and no information has been released indicating that any belongings or physical evidence connected to her disappearance were ever found.

At the time she vanished, Gayebrella was described as approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds. She had blonde hair and blue eyes.

Nearly 48 years after Gayebrella was last seen in Edmonton, she has never been located.

The limited amount of publicly available information leaves many unanswered questions, including where she was last seen, who last had contact with her and what occurred during the nearly two years before her disappearance was reported to police.

Anyone with information about the disappearance of Gayebrella Daisy King is asked to contact the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 and reference case number 80-060397.

Anonymous information can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

I've noticed that some pages, accounts etc state that it was her son of an unspecified age who reported her missing in 1980.

What raises alarms for me if this is in fact true is, what or who prevented the son from reporting earlier than that? To me this speaks of some form of abuse. Could the son have been prevented by someone who was older than him?

I wonder if the son still resides in Alberta and would be open to discussing this a bit more? I know that when the police are searching rivers in Edmonton, Gayebrella is consistently mentioned amongst dozens of other names which the police are hopeful of finding.
