Robert St-Louis was a 42-year-old master furrier and father of five who vanished from Laval, Quebec, after an evening with his daughter on June 14, 1988. He left her home about 10:30 p.m. for the short drive back to his own residence. When his wife arrived at 12:30 a.m., the house was empty and Robert’s wallet and keys were missing. His beige 1980 Jeep Cherokee Chief was also gone; a neighbor later reported seeing the vehicle leave the house around 12:15 a.m. but could not identify the driver or any passengers.

Early investigation found no obvious signs of foul play and authorities at the time considered that he might have left voluntarily, a theory the family disputed given his close ties. Over the years a few leads surfaced, including a hand-corrected business card from his glove compartment found in a Dorval bathroom in 1997 and a mistaken lead involving a man in Ohio that DNA later excluded.

In July 2025 a specialized diving team searching the Mille-Îles River located a vehicle matching the Jeep’s description. Human remains were found inside, and testing by the Quebec coroner’s office confirmed the remains were those of Robert St-Louis. Does anyone have memories of Robert, his Jeep, or the area around Laval and the Mille-Îles River in June 1988?
