Bourne, a government of Canada employee who commuted to her job in Ottawa, was last seen at her residence in Ashton, Ontario on March 6, 1976. Extensive police investigation has failed to locate her.
Mr. Bourne said he followed her footprints out of the house into the snow and down the laneway and figured she had been picked up the night she disappeared. Gordon and Diane had two children together, daughter and a son.
An OPP crime unit took over a scrap yard near a Lanark County village from where a young woman went missing more than 30 years ago. Police were at a large farm owned by Gordon Bourne, who has been living and operating a scrap yard there. He was married to Diane Marie Bourne when she mysteriously disappeared in 1976.
