Gilles Parisien was 51 when he disappeared from Malartic, in northwestern Quebec. He was being cared for at the Malartic Hospital Center and was last seen in early October 2003. He was not reported missing until October 28, 2003, which left a gap between the last confirmed sighting and the report being filed.

The Sûreté du Québec investigated and released a description: a Caucasian male, slender, about six feet tall and 150 pounds, short graying hair. He was believed to have been wearing jeans and a brown or green jacket when last seen.

If anyone in the Malartic area from October 2003 remembers seeing Gilles or has information about his movements after he left the hospital, please share what can help clarify his last known days.
