A Canadian mystery may have taken a step closer to resolution after an online researcher linked Amsterdam’s "Lucky," who collapsed three years ago, to a missing person in Vancouver. The Dutch police received a tip from Anton van Straten on Facebook, who noticed similarities between the image of "Lucky" and the missing person's file photos held by the Vancouver Police Department's cold case unit.
John Russell Kennedy, known locally as "Chris the Canadian," has been missing since 1993. The Canadian police are treating the tip seriously and have contacted their Dutch counterparts, though they acknowledged that such similarities have led to false leads in the past. Dutch police spokesperson emphasized the need for caution and cautioned against jumping to conclusions.
Vancouver police confirmed they are taking the tip seriously and are in contact with their Dutch counterparts. If "Lucky" is indeed John Russell Kennedy, he would now be 67 years old and missing for nearly half his life.
