NORTH MIDDLESEX, Ontario — A Canadian man declared missing and presumed dead was discovered alive in Oklahoma after a routine audit reopened his case.
In September 1977, during a barn fire that killed a number of pigs, then 32-year-old Ronald Stan went missing from his East Williams, Ontario home.
“I remember that one quite well because we dug through dead pigs and so-on with our boots on, and had done our very best to find human remains,” retired firefighter Jim Walsh told CTV News. “And there was none in that barn.”
