VICTORIA — It has been 30 years since Michael Dunahee disappeared from a playground in Victoria in a case that became one of the largest missing child investigations in Canada.

The Victoria Police Department and members of Dunahee’s family are scheduled to hold a news conference today to release an age-enhanced sketch of Michael.

The four-year-old boy was in the Blanchard School playground on March 24, 1991, not far from where his family and others were playing a touch football game.

A search for Michael involved hundreds of volunteers and numerous police agencies, but no trace of the boy was found.
