Thomas was last seen walking late at night at Stoney Creek (Sai'kuz) on Friday, March 18, 1994. She was a mother of three children, aged five to fifteen. Her family considered her to be a dedicated mother to her children and her disappearance is considered out of character. She was reported missing three days later on Monday, March 21, 1994. Search and rescue teams from Vanderhoof and Prince George, Stoney Creek residents and a police tracking dog spent two days searching the bush near where she was last spotted. Thomas was found dead near the shore of Tachick Lake, near Sai'kuz, by a helicopter during a routine search, on Wednesday, March 30, 1994 at 11:30 am. At the discovery of her remains, RCMP Cpl. Paul McLean said that there was nothing found at the site to indicate foul play. It should be noted that Mildred was acquitted in the second degree murder case of her common law spouse, Cecil Raphael, earlier on in 1994.
