Well that's interesting!
Thauberger was a perennial Social Credit candidate in Saskatchewan, who was 26 years old when he first ran and 84 when he last ran. Less than a year before his death in 1998, his son Patrick disappeared in Regina while travelling from Winnipeg to Edmonton. Patrick's remains were only found in late 2020, and his older brother Joseph Jr., at that point 78 years old, was charged with first degree murder. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in July 2023, without the possibility of parole for 10 years, but died the following December.
