Gaétan Ethier, a 45-year-old white Canadian man, was murdered on March 31, 1991, in Montreal, Quebec. He had invited Michael Wayne McGray, a man he met in Montreal’s Gay Village, back to his apartment. McGray, who was on a three-day prison weekend pass, spent the night and then fatally stabbed Ethier before fleeing.

This killing came one day after McGray murdered Robert Assaly in a similar situation. McGray failed to return to prison after the weekend pass and remained at large for nearly two months before being caught. In 2000 he pleaded guilty to the murders of Ethier and Assaly and received a 20-year sentence. Ethier’s death is one of several violent crimes linked to McGray, who has claimed responsibility for many other killings across Canada.

Did anyone who knew Gaétan or who was in Montreal’s Gay Village in late March 1991 see him or remember his movements that week?
