Rene Rosa, 38, was last seen at his La Minerve, Quebec, home at about 7:50 a.m. on March 24, 2000. The last person to see him was his son, who left for school that morning. At the time he vanished he was about 5 feet 11 inches and 162 pounds, wearing a black leather coat and jeans.

That same afternoon, at approximately 2:40 p.m., a road maintenance worker found Rosa’s purple 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier abandoned on Montée Charette, nearly five kilometres from his residence. The vehicle was damaged and showed signs that someone had attempted to steal it. No further trace of Rene Rosa has been reported since the car was discovered.

The Sûreté du Québec described the disappearance as a complete mystery and the case is listed among their unsolved files. If anyone knew Rene, saw the Cavalier that day, or has information that could help, please contact the Sûreté du Québec’s criminal information line.
