Lyette Gibb was 18 when she left a friend’s residence on Notre-Dame Street in Laval at about 1:50 a.m. on April 25, 1987, intending to walk home. She never arrived and was reported missing the next day. The official cold-case record treats April 25 as the last seen date rather than establishing a precise date of death.

On October 25, 1987 a passerby found skeletal remains at the foot of a tree in a wooded area across from 950 chemin Presqu’île in L’Assomption, northeast of Laval. The location was well away from where she was last seen. The Sûreté du Québec record does not disclose cause of death, injuries identified, or forensic details, and no named suspect, arrest, charge, trial, or conviction has been announced in connection with her killing.

Anyone with information that could help identify who was responsible is asked to contact the Sûreté du Québec criminal information division.
