Christina CALAYCA was last seen wearing a blue ‘hoodie’ sweatshirt, a maroon/purple striped shirt, black pants, and white running shoes. Although an extensive search for CALAYCA was conducted, police have been unable to locate her.

Christina disappeared about an hour away from me, and I remember all the media insanity that surrounded it. Given the area she disappeared in, a lot of people think she somehow ended up in the bush. Unfortunately, even a seasoned hiker/camper/hunter/etc, if caught off guard, wouldn't survive very long out there.

Another rumour that has been around since the beginning is that she "faked" her disappearance to escape an arranged marriage. She and her cousin look very similar, particularly to people up here who aren't accustomed to seeing non caucasians. Sad, but true. It's entirely possible that the guy who saw her actually saw her cousin. At any rate, I've been following this case simply because it happened so close to me and I know the area. I really hope that she did just "fake" it, and that she'll eventually get in touch with everyone.

And from her myspace:

Calayca is a teacher and is also very involved in a Catholic youth group.

Since when do Catholics in the Western World have arranged marriages?  Am I completely out of the loop on this one?

Regardless, I hope she is found safe.

As far as anyone knows, her parents aren't Catholic so that may explain the whole arranged marriage thing. But its also just a rumour, so who knows.

More detailed article

Elizabeth Rutledge's two-bedroom apartment is awash with photographs of her missing daughter, Christina Calayca.


Above the television, the young girl's wide smile shines like the silver cross around her neck.


Near the couch, a photo from her high school graduation leans next to another picture, black and white, of the girl smiling over her shoulder; the word "missing" is scrawled in its border.


"You can take a picture, I have plenty of them," Rutledge, a 52-year-old insurance broker, tells a visitor to her east end Toronto apartment in early October. And she does. Two boxes filled with images of the wide smiling Christina Calayca appear from out of nowhere.


It is left unsaid, but the photographs help Rutledge cope with the loss of a daughter who, at 20 years old, was already working at a daycare and helping her single mother pay the mortgage.


Christina Calayca vanished in August 2007, while camping with a cousin and friends in Rainbow Falls Provincial Park, 200 kilometres east of Thunder Bay, Ont. She has never been found.


While officials do not suspect foul play, her mother is unable to find peace, spending the past two years running through scenarios.


"As a mother, my instinct up to now is that I don't feel like she is dead," Rutledge said, sitting amongst the photographs in her cluttered living room.


Minutes later, she is certain her daughter was murdered in the quiet isolation of the morning. "It's depressing to the family because we just don't understand."


Friends and family described Calayca as a mature, religious woman. She had obtained a degree in early childhood education from George Brown College and was working at a Catholic daycare before she disappeared.


"Christina was so faithful. She was a beautiful girl," said Angie Carboni, the manager of St. Bernadette's Daycare Centre.


Carboni said Calayca would come in on her days off to put up Christmas decorations for the children, or bring in cake for her co-workers. The money she earned, Carboni said, would go to helping her family.


"That girl was filled with God, from the top to the bottom."


Calayca told her mother the week before she disappeared that she wanted to do missionary work in the Philippines, before returning university and becoming a teacher.


"Her passion from the beginning was to work in the poor areas," said Rutledge. "She sees it not just as a Filipino tradition but as God's order — help other people."


Calayca was camping with her female cousin and two male friends from a Christian youth group when she disappeared. She was reportedly jogging alone in the early hours of Aug. 6, 2007.


A search by Ontario Provincial Police found no sign of Calayca, but her family would not give up hope, financing as many as six private searches.


The cost, about $20,000 each, was paid for from their own pockets, with help from money raised by the Find Christina Calayca Foundation.


Volunteer search groups and cadaver dogs combed the rugged, heavily wooded parkland and hiking paths that cut along precarious cliff ledges.


"As a mother, I will try everything to know what could have happened that day," Rutledge said.


Last month, the family led one last search, reporting to Ontario Provincial Police that they may have located a body. OPP Sgt. Shelley Garr said a team of officers resumed the search for one day, on Oct. 14. They had no success.


Rutledge said closure will come when her daughter's fate is certain, but that seems less likely with every passing day.


Already forced to sell her house and move to an apartment, Rutledge said there was simply no money left to fund another ground search.


Her son, Michael, is about to turn 18 years old, and is enrolled at York University. He says he wants to be a math teacher.


"I have the choice of either sending my son to university or searching for my daughter," she said. "I have to choose one or the other."

Thats a different case?

Crap. I had MANY different tabs and stories open last night while updating a bunch of cases. I put that in the wrong one. Thanks!

Here is what I meant to post on this one:

CHRISTINA CALAYCA — A 20-year-old Toronto woman was camping with friends in Rainbow Falls Provincial Park, near Thunder Bay, when she vanished without a trace on Aug. 6, 2007. Investigators have speculated the daycare worker may have wandered off and been eaten by a bear.

I wonder where they came up with the bear theory? I haven't found ANYTHING else that really even speculates on something like that. I found it odd.
