Calgary, AB – The haunting mystery surrounding 20-year-old Shane Smith’s disappearance continues to weigh heavily on his loved ones, more than five years after he was reported missing and believed murdered in McKenzie Towne on June 6, 2020.
Shane, who lived in Chestermere, was known for his kind heart, gentle nature, and deep love for his family — his mother Shirley, father Bill, and sister Cassie. Described as a loyal friend and devoted son, Shane’s death has left an unfillable void in the lives of those who knew him.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
A passionate car enthusiast, avid gamer, and lifelong animal lover, Shane was rarely seen without his cat, Jewel, who stayed by his side for 17 years. His mother recalled how he instantly fell in love with their two kittens and had always dreamed of owning a husky one day — a dream that now lives only in memory.
Despite years of searching and an ongoing police investigation, Shane’s body has never been found, leaving his family in an agonizing state of uncertainty and grief. Authorities continue to treat the case as a homicide, urging anyone with information to come forward.
The Calgary Police Service and Crime Stoppers remain hopeful that someone, somewhere, holds the missing piece that could finally bring Shane home.
