Mekayla Bali

What happened

Mekayla Margaret Kim Bali, 16, was last seen at the STC Bus Depot in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, at 1:45 p.m. on April 12, 2016, according to her official Canada's Missing profile, held by the RCMP's National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains. She went to school that morning but left shortly after arriving, went to several businesses in Yorkton through the morning, and returned to school around noon. She bought lunch at the restaurant in the bus depot, but she did not get on a bus that day. She left the bus depot in the early afternoon and has not been seen since.

Saskatchewan RCMP says more than 1,000 tips about Mekayla's disappearance have been received and investigated, and officers with its Historical Case Unit, part of the Major Crimes Branch, continue to investigate. On April 13, 2026, ahead of the tenth anniversary of her disappearance, the RCMP renewed its appeal, saying someone who may not have wanted to speak at the time might feel ready to do so now. Her family, in a statement released with that appeal, said their lives have been on hold for ten years and asked anyone with even the smallest piece of information to come forward.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has age-progressed Mekayla's photograph to 19 years old, and that progression is carried on her official Canada's Missing profile. Mekayla is still missing.
