Jean Marc Lavallée, 64, of La Prairie, Quebec, was last heard from in a phone call around noon on November 26, 2012. Concern grew when a relative had no further contact and asked police to check his home; officers found Lavallée absent and his vehicle missing from its usual parking spot. He is described as a Caucasian male, 1.73 meters tall, about 80 kilograms, with grey hair, brown eyes and a limp from a deformity in his right leg.

The Sûreté du Québec took over the inquiry and publicly sought tips after initial local officers were unable to locate him. The investigation into his disappearance has been complicated by an outstanding arrest warrant tied to a large-scale Ponzi-type fraud alleged to involve about $19 million. He is wanted on charges including fraud, conspiracy, laundering the proceeds of crime and committing an offence for the benefit of a criminal organization. It remains unclear whether his disappearance is linked to those legal issues.

Did anyone in La Prairie or the region see Lavallée, his vehicle, or have information about his movements after November 26, 2012?
