Jason Picken was a 36-year-old man living in Cowansville, Quebec, last known to have been seen on March 24, 2008. His family and friends had no further contact with him after the latter part of March, and his disappearance was not formally reported until May 2008. Publicly released information does not say where in Cowansville he was last seen, who saw him, what he was doing that day, or whether he was on foot or in a vehicle.

Picken is described as about six feet tall, 176 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes; he had scars on his forehead and head and another above his right eye. The Sûreté du Québec opened an investigative file and later stated investigators developed reason to believe he was the victim of a homicide, though no suspect, motive, or arrest has been publicly identified and key details about his final movements remain unknown.

If anyone saw Jason around late March 2008, knew where he planned to go, or has information that could clarify his last hours, please contact the Sûreté du Québec’s confidential tip line at 1-800-659-4264.
