Paul Rene Bellemore, 43, was last seen the late afternoon of July 29, 2022, in Cornwall, Ontario. Surveillance shows him arriving in a black 2018 BMW sedan at the Cornwall Civic Complex parking lot about 4:35 p.m., stopping briefly inside Cornwall Square mall, then walking toward Lamoureux Park. The final sighting on camera places him near the park bandshell at about 4:49 p.m.; his car remained parked where he left it.

Paul is described as five feet eleven inches, about 160 pounds, with green eyes and short balding brown hair. Distinctive tattoos include a crown on his right tricep and the name Paul with barbed wire on his upper right arm. The Cornwall Police Service opened the initial investigation and the Ontario Provincial Police were asked to assist in January 2023; investigators have said they suspect foul play. Police have released surveillance footage and maintained a tip line for any information.

For Paul’s family the absence has been devastating. His sister Chantal has spoken about the constant emptiness and how missed he is at family gatherings and in daily life. The disappearance remains an active investigation and what happened after he walked behind the bandshell is still unknown.

If anyone was in Lamoureux Park or the Civic Complex area that afternoon or has information about Paul’s movements, please contact the OPP tip line.
