Alice Paré was 14 when she disappeared in Drummondville, Quebec, after a flute lesson on February 17, 1971. She arrived late, borrowed ten cents to use a telephone that wasn’t working, told a friend she would walk home, and left around 5:50 p.m. carrying her flute. Her family reported her missing that evening and the Sûreté du Québec took over the investigation.

On April 26 farm workers found Alice’s body in a field in Sainte-Clotilde-de-Horton. She was still wearing much of her school uniform; her red coat and a green wool jacket were nearby. An autopsy on April 27 concluded she died by strangulation; bruising was noted but the exam did not reveal evidence of sexual assault. Her flute and case were later reported found near Route 20, about a ten-minute drive from where the body was located.

Investigators questioned more than 150 people, followed a reported sighting of someone like Alice entering a black two-door 1970 Chevrolet, and searched cabins along the Saint-François River. No arrest, charge, trial or conviction has been publicly announced and the case remains unsolved. Did anyone in Drummondville or the surrounding towns remember seeing Alice that evening or notice a black two-door 1970 Chevrolet in February 1971?
