Diane Marie Bourne was last seen on march 6, 1976, at her residence on Kidd Road in Ashton, Ontario, where her husband, Gordon Bourne owns a farmhouse and wrecking yard. Diane was a government employee who commuted to her job in Ottawa and was the mother of two small children when she went missing.

Diane’s husband Gordon said he followed her footprints out of the house into the snow and down the lane and figured she had been picked up the night she disappeared. His story was suspicious.

In 2007, the OPP extensively searched the Kidd Road property. Gordon Bourne was arrested and faced weapons charges. The search turned up no sign of Diane.
