Melina Martin was 13 when she disappeared from Farnham, Quebec after being dropped off by her mother at Roch-Bourbonnais Park on January 23, 2005. Her mother’s last sighting was of Melina running toward a winter festival to see sled dogs; they had arranged to meet at 5:00 p.m. at a nearby restaurant, but Melina never arrived. She was described as having light brown hair, green eyes, multiple piercings, and wearing jeans with fur at the bottom, a beige tank top, a jean jacket with fur on the sleeves, a black coat with a fur hood, a white scarf, and pink gloves.

Investigators later learned Melina visited a friend near the park who was unwell and briefly went to her boyfriend’s house before returning toward the festival. Her family searched and reported her missing the next day; police initially treated the case as a teenage runaway, a view the family rejected. Over time the investigation expanded to consider other possibilities, including homicide, but no solid leads have emerged. Divers searched the nearby Yamaska River and the family has maintained public awareness campaigns and offered a reward.

Does anyone who was in Roch-Bourbonnais Park or the festival on January 23, 2005 remember seeing Melina or anything unusual that day?
