Patricia Ferguson was 23 when she disappeared from Pointe-aux-Trembles in Montreal in the early hours of June 6, 1996. She had been staying at a friend’s home with her 11-month-old daughter; when the friend awoke Patricia was gone and a note said she had left for breakfast and planned to meet her sister. Patricia was never seen or heard from again, and her daughter Sabrina grew up believing she had been abandoned.

The case remained cold for many years until a renewed investigation in the early 2020s, prompted in part by a true-crime documentary. In December 2022 Montreal police established a command post near where Patricia was last seen and a local charity offered a reward for information. The probe led to the 2023 arrest of neighbor Serge Audette, then 69, who was charged with manslaughter. In May 2026 Audette was found guilty, providing legal confirmation that Patricia did not abandon her child; her body has not been recovered.

Did anyone in Pointe-aux-Trembles in 1996 know Patricia or remember seeing her that morning?
