Gérald Lapierre, a White/Caucasian man in his fifties, was found dead on January 16, 1980. Police on patrol discovered his completely frozen body along Montée Saint-Victor in Saint‑Janvier, Quebec; he was still fully clothed. Investigators determined Lapierre had been shot to death, and the case is recorded with the Sûreté du Québec as file number 179-800116-002.

Before his death Lapierre frequented several licensed Montréal establishments. No motive, suspect, arrest, charge, trial, or conviction has been publicly reported.

The gap between Lapierre’s last confirmed sighting in Montréal and the discovery of his body remains the key unanswered element. Does anyone have information about Lapierre’s movements that night or the Barachais in 1980?
