Tommy Charpentier was 20 when he was last seen in Sainte-Brigitte-des-Saults, Quebec, on December 15, 2008. He lived with his employer on a farm near the Nicolet River and was described as having brown hair and green eyes.

Days after his disappearance, Tommy’s clothes were found placed on the frozen surface of the Nicolet River near a break in the ice. Footprints in the snow led toward the river, a detail that prompted investigators to consider that he may have entered the water either intentionally or by accident. The Sûreté du Québec team from the MRC de Drummond handled the investigation and has continued to appeal for information.

The scene of abandoned clothing by open ice remains the central, haunting detail of the case; the investigation has not ruled out other possibilities. If anyone knew Tommy, saw him around December 15, 2008, or has information about the area that night, please come forward.
