The Girl They Called Snooksie: What Happened to Eunice Esther Bird?
In the fall of 1964, 16-year-old Eunice Esther Bird disappeared from Prince Rupert, British Columbia. More than sixty years later, the details surrounding her disappearance remain frustratingly sparse. There has been no confirmed sighting, no known explanation for what happened to her and no resolution for the family members who spent decades searching for answers. Eunice was Indigenous, with black hair and brown eyes. Official records list her year of birth as 1948, although her younger sister, Wendy Redknap, later recalled that Eunice had been born in 1947. She was known by several surnames over the years, including Dick, Reece and Quaw, but to the people who loved her, she was also known by the affectionate nickname “Snooksie.”
