Maxime Perreault, 38, disappeared from his home in Bolton-Est, Estrie, with last contact on April 28, 2014 and a last confirmed sighting on April 30, 2014. Living a solitary life in a remote area, he had told family and friends he planned to visit Beloeil around May 3 but never arrived. He is described as a white male, five feet six inches, about 130 pounds, with medium-length curly brown hair, blue-green eyes, and a mole near the corner of one eye; he may have had a beard and is believed to have been carrying a navy blue backpack when he left.

Authorities have suggested he might have intended to travel out of the Estrie region possibly toward British Columbia, and his usual ways of getting around included walking, biking, bus travel or hitchhiking. The Sûreté du Québec and his family expressed concern for his safety; the case remains open with no confirmed sightings or new public leads. If anyone saw Maxime around late April or early May 2014 or has information about his movements after April 30, please come forward.
