MMIMB: Lawrence Maitland

Ep. 82

In this episode, we delve into the perplexing disappearance of Lawrence Maitland from the heart of Lax Kw'alaams, a remote village in British Columbia. It has now been over four years since Lawrence mysteriously vanished, leaving his family and the police with more questions than answers.


Lawrence was last spotted in mid-July of 2019, pushing his bicycle along Victoria Street. What makes his case even more baffling is the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. His keys and wallet were found untouched in his home, doors unlocked and lights still on.


From the very beginning, law enforcement suspected foul play, and the North District Major Crime Unit was brought in to assist the Prince Rupert RCMP. Yet, despite their relentless efforts, Lawrence Maitland remains missing, leaving his family in a painful limbo of uncertainty.


In this episode, we hear from Lawrence's family members, who passionately plead for anyone with information to come forward. They firmly believe that someone out there holds the key to solving this mystery and bringing their loved one home.


Lawrence Maitland is described as a 44-year-old Indigenous man, standing at 5'9" and weighing 187 lbs. He has distinctive features, including slicked-back black hair and a black goatee.

If you have any information that could shed light on Lawrence Maitland's disappearance, please contact the Prince Rupert RCMP at (250) 627-0700. Join us as we shine a spotlight on this perplexing case and strive to bring closure to Lawrence's family and the community that cares deeply about his well-being.
