Bernard Deromer was 27 when he disappeared from Montréal on June 5, 1982. Blind but college-educated and trilingual, he used a white cane and was described as intelligent and independent. His appearance was noted as brown hair, grey eyes, a broken upper front tooth and scars on his forehead and near his right ear. That day he wore a shirt, beige corduroy pants, brown leather boots and a khaki raincoat, with a chain holding several metals around his neck.

Reports conflict about Bernard’s last known location. One places him at Berri-UQAM Metro Station; another at the corner of Rachel Street and Fullum Street near Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague Church around 6:00 p.m. A recurring theory is that he might have been approached by, and perhaps joined, a religious sect active in Montréal in the early 1980s, but no evidence has confirmed that. The case remains cold with no definitive explanation for his disappearance.

If anyone knew Bernard, saw him that evening, or has information about groups he may have had contact with, please come forward.
