Mysterious Disappearance of Calgary Lottery Winner Sparks Debate
Community Grapples with Unverified Claims Linking Lottery Win to Edmonton Murders
Joshua Saulteaux's disappearance has sparked intense community speculation in Calgary. Saulteaux, a lottery winner, was previously convicted as an accessory to the 2021 murders of Deidra Aldridge and Daniel Grandbois in Edmonton. His sudden vanishing has left many questioning whether his newfound wealth or past crimes played a role.
Saulteaux was released from prison shortly before winning a $1 million lottery prize. He disappeared on May 5, 2025, and was last seen expressing concerns for his safety. Blood found in an RV he bought with his winnings has only deepened the mystery.
Ongoing Investigation
The RCMP is actively investigating Saulteaux's disappearance. Despite community theories suggesting a link between his past and his lottery win, authorities have yet to find concrete evidence connecting these events. Over 60 interviews have been conducted, but foul play remains unconfirmed.
This case highlights broader risks for lottery winners, who often become targets due to their sudden wealth. As the investigation continues, the community remains divided, balancing speculation against the realities of complex criminal cases.
