Manon Dubé was a 10 year old[1] Canadian girl from Sherbrooke, Quebec[2][3] who disappeared on January 27, 1978,[4] and was found dead in Ayer's Cliff on March 24, 1978.[5]
Although the precise cause of Dubé's death remains uncertain, Canada's National Post unveiled compelling evidence that Manon Dubé's was a murder.[6] After discovering links between the circumstances of Dubé's case and the close resemblance to the recent deaths of two other girls, Theresa Allore and Louise Camirand, they theorized that the 3 deaths had been committed by the same person.
After bringing in geographic profiler, Kim Rossmo, an expert in connecting serial crimes, he strongly suggested that a serial killer was operating in the area in the 70's.
Disappearance and discovery of body[]
Dubé was playing with her friends[7] and younger sister, Chantel, on January 27, 1978. Dubé, her sister, and friends had later gone sledding, but then had decided to split up when it started to get dark around 7:30 p.m. which is when Dubé was last seen.
A large search party was later conducted to find Dubé upon the request of Dubé's mother. Dubé's body was found partially frozen in a stream on March 24, 1978 on Good Friday by two young boys who were from Montreal. Dubé had the same winter clothes on when she was last seen and had a gash on her forehead which may have been cause by a strike which has caused some people to believe that foul play was involved.[8]
Aftermath[]
Dubé's body was taken to Montreal where an autopsy was performed. It was suggested that the gash on her head may have been caused by something metal and that she may have been transported[9] to the stream where was disposed of she may have been there for less than two months and less than the time that she was missing for. The case is still open.
