Yves Jodouin was 16 when he disappeared from Ottawa on July 2, 1984. A patient at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario being treated for Anorexia Nervosa, he had returned alone from a family move in Barbados to get medical care earlier that year. Small in stature at four feet nine inches and 84 pounds, he was described as polite and well liked and collected comic books.

On the day he vanished Yves was on a day pass to visit his grandmother. She picked him up and they went to her home; he said he would see a movie and be back by 6:15 p.m. Instead he went to a friend’s house in Kanata, found the friend absent, and knocked on a neighbour’s door to use a bathroom. At 7:00 p.m., well after he was due back, Yves phoned his grandmother to say he’d been delayed and would be home soon. That call was the last confirmed contact. He reportedly had only a few dollars on him and the location of that final call has never been identified.

If anyone remembers Yves, where he stayed in 1984, or who he might have been with around July 2, 1984, please come forward with information.
