Claudette Poirier was 15 when she vanished from the Drummondville area of Quebec on July 27, 1977. Her family had been camping south of Drummondville near Chemin Hemming, and Claudette left the campsite around midday on a bicycle, heading through Saint-Cyrille toward Drummondville to visit friends or babysit. Her bicycle was later found abandoned in a ditch in the Saint-Cyrille area, but there was no sign of Claudette nearby.

A large search involving local police, volunteers, divers and aircraft failed to locate her. On October 9, 1986, hunters found a skull, skeletal remains and women’s clothing in woods near Domaine La Réserve in Saint-Lucien, several miles south of where she disappeared; laboratory testing later identified the bones as Claudette’s. Because of the long interval before recovery, no definitive cause of death could be determined, though investigators stated they did not believe she died of natural causes. No arrest or public criminal charge has been identified, and the perpetrator remains unknown.

Did anyone in the Saint-Cyrille or Saint-Lucien area at the time remember seeing Claudette or her bicycle on July 27, 1977?
