Chantal Rochon was 17 and living in Blainville, Quebec, when she vanished in June 1988. She had been renting an apartment on rue des Mésanges since February and routinely relied on hitchhiking. She was reportedly last seen near her home on June 11; her mother reported her missing on June 15.

On June 22, 1988, Chantal’s body was found in a wooded area of Blainville about 500 feet from rue de la Mairie and only a few kilometres from her apartment. Her remains were in an advanced state of decomposition. Later accounts indicate she had been stabbed in the back and that the wound was fatal, but records mark June 22 as the discovery date rather than a confirmed date of death. It remains unclear whether she was killed at the scene or moved there afterward, and her habit of hitchhiking has been noted as a possible factor.

Her murder occurred during a time when several young women and girls were killed in the greater Montreal area, but Chantal’s case has not been publicly linked to a specific offender. No arrest, charge, trial, or conviction has been reported; the Sûreté du Québec lists the case as an unsolved homicide and continues to seek information. If anyone knew Chantal, saw her around June 11, 1988, or has information that could help, please come forward.
