It’s been one year since 60-year-old Eduardo Balaquit‘s disappearance.

The Winnipeg Police Service has released stock images of a 2010 – 2015 blue Ford Escape SE. It should be noted these stock images are only for descriptive purposes.

The vehicle matching this description was around the Keewatin area when Balaquit arrived for work and likely in the Arborg, Manitoba area on June 4, 2018. It’s possible Arborg residents weren’t familiar with the 2010 – 2015 blue Ford Escape SE. Plus, the vehicle may have been in the Arborg, Manitoba area for a short time.
