Where is Parker Wells? (Last Seen in Calgary, AB | July 16, 2026)
On July 16, 2026, 11-year-old Parker Wells disappeared from his day home in Calgary. Parker is autistic, neurodivergent and nonverbal, and operates more like a 2-3 year old. His disappearance has prompted an enormous search involving police, firefighters, search-and-rescue teams and hundreds of volunteers. Surveillance footage has helped investigators trace some of Parker’s movements, but major questions remain about where he went and how he has remained missing despite such an extensive effort. In this episode of Canadian Gothic, we will focus on what is currently known, what remains unclear and how the public can help find Parker Wells.

Eli Wood is Missing (Last Seen in Kitchener, Ontario Oct 18, 2025)
On October 18, 2025, 25-year-old Eli Wood was last seen by his family on a video call that ended just prior to midnight. Something they did daily as a way to stay connected while Eli was attending university in Kitchener. Hours later, firefighters responded to a fire in Eli’s apartment. But Eli wasn’t there… and hasn’t been seen since. Police say the fire was arson and that foul play is suspected in Eli’s disappearance, but months later, little more than that has been revealed. Important questions like what happened that night? why was the fire considered targeted? and where is Eli? all remain unanswered as his family pleads for answers, community searches continue, and police say an investigation remains active. In this episode of the Canadian Gothic, Madelayne and Jordan discuss what we know and what we don’t know about the disappearance of Eli Wood.
