Douglas Stewart Babineau, aged either 31 or 33, disappeared after leaving a small house party on First Avenue in Moncton, New Brunswick, on the night of November 27 into the early hours of November 28, 1988. Intoxicated, he told his girlfriend he’d be right back and left with another man; he was last seen alive the next day around 3 p.m. in a car in the Westbrook Circle area off Berry Mills Road. At disappearance he was 6 feet tall, about 159 pounds, with long blonde hair and blue eyes.

In November 2001 police acted on a tip and excavated two sites near New Scotland Road and Highway 126 after a crown witness said he and another man, Michael Louis Joseph Perron, had disposed of a tarp from which a human foot identified by its boot as belonging to Babineau slipped out. The searches produced no remains or weapon. Perron was later convicted of indignity to a human body and given a conditional sentence with house arrest; he did not disclose the identity of the person in the tarp or its location. The central question of what happened to Douglas after he left the party remains unanswered. Does anyone who knew Douglas or who was in Moncton that night have information that could help clarify his final movements?
