Relentless-The Podcast

Join host Kyle Dubé on a touching episode of the Relentless Podcast as he welcomes Heather Shtuka, a resilient mother and advocate. Heather recounts the heart-wrenching tale of her son Ryan's disappearance from Sun Peaks Resort, transforming from a parent to a search and rescue coordinator and missing-person advocate.

Heather Shtuka’s life took an unexpected turn when her son, Ryan, disappeared from Sun Peaks Resort six years ago. Heather Shtuka and her husband Scott have traveled to the resort community from their Alberta home several times since their son, Ryan Shtuka, went missing after leaving a house party at 2 a.m. on Feb. 17, 2018. From her initial role as a parent to the relentless pursuit of finding Ryan, Heather transformed into a search and rescue coordinator and missing-person advocate, chronicling her emotional journey in a well-received book, ‘Missing from me.'

RCMP have continued to investigate Ryan’s disappearance. Continually searching for answers, Heather, along with her husband Scott, return to Sun Peaks annually to mark the anniversary, fostering a resilient spirit within the community while navigating the challenges of loss and uncertainty.
