Rene Joseph Bruneau was 24 and from Leoville, Saskatchewan, when he disappeared after being seen on the grounds of the Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford on the evening of June 27, 1965. By the next morning he was gone; family members had not seen or heard from him and searches were conducted, though the details of those early efforts are not available.

Bruneau was described as five feet, seven inches tall, slight build, with black hair, brown eyes and a surgical scar across the top of his head. He was last reported wearing green trousers, a dark shirt with a yellow yoke, and either slippers or rubber boots. The case was later assigned to the F Division RCMP Historical Case Unit and remains active but cold, with no significant leads reported.

What information might help bring clarity to Rene’s whereabouts that evening, or memories from anyone who lived near the hospital in June 1965?
