WALDEN MYSTERY: Family in Urgent Need of Information 6 Months After Deeanna Disappeared

 It is a chilling scene that haunts Deeanna Erickson's family during the night: security camera footage showing a young woman alone in darkness, clearly in distress. She is in tears. She is swaying back and forth, trying to find solace that isn’t available. That woman is Deeanna Erickson, and that video from the night of Friday, June 6, 2025, marks the last instance anyone knew of her whereabouts.

Now, more than six months have gone by since that harrowing evening. Six months filled with silence where joy should exist. Six months of a family gazing at the door, wishing she would come home. Deeanna, aged 31, did not just leave of her own accord; the details surrounding her disappearance imply a woman in need of assistance, a woman in turmoil. Rather than being located safe and sound, she slipped away into the night, creating an emptiness that has shattered her family. The anguish of understanding that she was frightened and alone in her last known moments is an unbearable weight for any family to endure.

The Last Known Steps in Walden

We must revisit those moments. We should recall that warm evening in June. Deeanna was last seen disembarking from a Route 162 bus close to the community of Walden in south Calgary. It is a bustling urban area, yet a person can vanish without a sound.

Please pay attention to her details. Deeanna stands at 5’4”, weighs 140 lbs, and has notably long red-brown hair along with blue eyes. That night, she was dressed in a grey hoodie, beige trousers, and black athletic shoes. She also had a backpack with her. Maybe you were on that bus. Maybe you drove through Walden late Friday night and noticed a woman with a backpack, appearing upset. Did you observe which direction she headed? Did you see anyone go up to her? Although memories can fade, a specific aspect—like a grey hoodie or an agitated look—can spark a memory that alters everything.

Break the Silence for Deeanna

The Calgary Police Service has been conducting investigations, although the leads have grown cold. Case file #CA 25242727/5107 is still open, but it requires fresh information. It needs you. We earnestly urge the community of Walden and everyone who uses the Route 162 bus service to reflect on that night. Check your dashcam footage if you have any. Speak with your neighbors.

Someone noticed something that evening. Someone is aware of Deeanna's whereabouts after she departed from that bus. Do not allow her story to fade into silence. If you have any information, regardless of how trivial it may appear, please reach out. You can contact the Calgary Police at 403-266-1234. If you prefer to stay anonymous, please connect with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Deeanna sought help six months ago; let us finally respond to that plea today.
