Hakze sisters

📍 Location

📝 Description

Two Alberta sisters, Anna and Kym Hakze, who were last seen by their family in Edmonton in the mid-1980s and subsequently reported missing in 2003, were located alive in the United States. Canadian and U.S. authorities confirmed their identities via fingerprint analysis. One sister (Kym) now uses a different name, and U.S. authorities have confirmed the other sister's whereabouts, though the exact locations are being kept private to protect their privacy. The discovery followed decades of investigation and tips, including a 2012 lead connected to an alias used by Anna and a 2015 effort to use social media; police later traced records to corroborate those tips. As of a 2025 update, the sisters are described as living in the U.S., with ages reported as 67 (Anna) and 53 (Kym).

🔍 Circumstances

Disappearance: Anna and Kym Hakze were last seen in Edmonton, Alberta, in the mid-1980s and were reported missing by their mother in 2003. Initial leads over the years were unproductive. In 2012 a tip linked to an alias used by Anna and a Vancouver-related clue, and in 2015 police pursued social-media outreach for missing persons. In February 2017 U.S. authorities visited the home of Kym Hakze (now using another name), and fingerprint comparisons confirmed both women were the Hakze sisters living in the United States. Anna Hakze’s location was confirmed by U.S. authorities, though Canadian police had not spoken to her directly at that time. Police stated they would not disclose further details to protect privacy. A 2025 update reiterates that the sisters are alive in the U.S. and that fingerprints confirmed their identities.

👤 Physical Description

Not publicly disclosed. Public reports described their ages at the time of disappearance (Anna 43, Kym 29 in the mid-1980s) and provided old photos, but current physical descriptions have not been released.

ℹ️ Additional Details

The case attracted renewed attention in 2017 after fingerprint analysis confirmed the identities of Anna and Kym Hakze. One sister reportedly uses a different name now; Anna’s exact location has been confirmed by U.S. authorities but not disclosed publicly. The case highlights privacy considerations and the evolving role of digital information in long-cold missing-person investigations. A 2025 update confirms they are alive in the U.S. and provides approximate ages (Anna 67, Kym 53).
