Hélène Laferrière was 23 when she was last seen in Quebec City’s Saint-Sacrement district on November 4, 1976. Initial investigators considered the possibility she had left voluntarily, but as days passed without contact that view shifted. Her family came to fear she may have taken her own life, a conclusion at odds with the theory of a voluntary departure.

No body has ever been recovered and the circumstances of that November day remain unknown. Investigators later identified a suspect in connection with her disappearance, but for reasons that have not been disclosed no arrest was ever made. The lack of definitive evidence or closure has left the case unsolved and Hélène’s family without answers.

If anyone in Quebec City remembers Hélène, her last known movements, or has information about the person later named as a suspect, please come forward.
