On the evening of February 14, 2007, 23-year-old Philippe Lajoie left his parents’ home in Saint-Didace, Québec, bound for a pig farm he co-owned with his brother on Petite-Rivière Nord road in Yamachiche, about a 40-kilometer drive away. He was last seen at roughly 6 p.m. and did not return. The next day the family found his vehicle at the farm with the keys in the ignition and the driver’s door unlocked. It appeared he had arrived and completed feeding the animals, but Philippe himself was nowhere to be found.

A Sûreté du Québec search that involved various specialists turned up no clues. A severe snowstorm the night he vanished likely erased any potential tracks or evidence. Authorities have said they do not believe he ran away or died by suicide; the family suspects foul play. Philippe was described as quiet, hardworking and devoted to the farm, with no known ties to drugs, alcohol or criminal activity. His family later had him declared legally deceased in 2015 for business and insurance reasons, but they have continued publicizing the case and offering a reward for information.

Does anyone have information about Philippe’s movements in Lanaudière or Yamachiche on February 14–15, 2007?
