Michelle Lise Wedge was seven when she vanished from her Moncton neighbourhood on the evening of July 2, 1975. Last seen near her home on Dominion Street riding a Mustang-style bicycle, she was wearing a red and white t-shirt, blue shorts, blue socks and navy blue sandals. Her bicycle was later found abandoned at the southwest corner of John and Dominion Streets, and by about 9:00 p.m. the family realized Michelle was missing.

Two young girls told police they had been approached earlier that day by a man in a small dark green car and later saw Michelle get into a vehicle with a man. A composite sketch was made of a man described as mid-to-late twenties with thick dark hair, a beard, a mustache and a facial scar. A man matching the description was questioned and released; investigators later expressed doubts about the reliability of the two girls’ statements. The RCMP treats the case as a criminal investigation and has received only occasional tips over the years.

Michelle’s disappearance remains unsolved. If anyone in the Moncton area remembers that night, the neighbourhood, or has information about the man or the green car, please come forward.
