Pierre Gariepy was 28 when he vanished from Montreal, Quebec, with his last confirmed sighting on February 19, 1973, in the Plateau-Mont-Royal district. He was described as a white male, six feet two inches tall, about 220 pounds, with black hair and black eyes and a scar on his abdomen. What he was wearing or whether he had any personal items is not recorded.

Gariepy lived with manic-depression and had been hospitalized several times prior to his disappearance. Those health struggles are part of the known background but do not clarify his movements on that winter day. There were no witnesses to his disappearance and no subsequent contact with family or friends.

The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal continues to list the case as a missing person and it is now cold. What exactly happened to Pierre Gariepy on February 19, 1973 remains unknown. If anyone knew Pierre, saw him in Plateau-Mont-Royal around that date, or has information that might help, please come forward.
