What Happened to Jeffrey Dupres?

I need your help to solve one of Canada's oldest kidnapping cases. My son, Jeffrey Dupres, was taken from our yard in Slave Lake, Alberta, in 1980. He had just turned three.

One of the biggest tips we received was the sighting of a couple coaxing Jeffrey into their Chevrolet or GMC truck. I hope to use new technology that wasn’t available then to examine old leads and collect new tips.

Historic missing persons cases are notoriously underfunded and grow cold and forgotten. Which is why I'm asking for your support.

Here are some ways to support this cause (without money):

Jeffrey was a bright and energetic 3-year-old who was thrilled with his first best friend. And then he just disappeared from our yard.

When the police couldn't help, the people of Slave Lake stepped in and searched the town, proving he was no longer in Slave Lake. That was almost 43 years ago; now, he would be 45, and we still don't know what happened to Jeffrey.

Thank you for your time and support and for sharing our story.

Warmly,

Denise McKee

Mother of Jeffrey Dupres
