Lucien Belanger, 66, was last seen on a Tuesday afternoon, December 4, 2012, walking away from his home near the Saint-François River in the Boisé-Messier area of Drummondville, Quebec. He was reported to be in significant emotional distress and it was uncharacteristic for him to leave without telling anyone.

At the time he disappeared he wore a black and white winter coat, blue pants, a brown cap with the word Challenger on it, and glasses. Authorities gave his physical description as 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 172 pounds, with short grey hair and brown eyes. The Sûreté du Québec launched a search; about fifteen emergency-unit officers conducted ground searches near his residence but found no sign of him.

His family has continued to hope for answers. If anyone in Drummondville in December 2012 remembers seeing Lucien or has information about his movements that day, please come forward.
