1 other sourceIn the late summer of 1996, a young man named Benoit Lachance, 25 years old at the time, vanished from his home in Pointe-aux-Trembles, a district in Montreal, Quebec. There are conflicting dates regarding his last known whereabouts; some sources indicate he was last seen on August 25, 1996, while others state September 3, 1996. On the day he disappeared, he was seen leaving his residence on his motorcycle, possibly heading towards Le Gardeur.
It wasn't until several weeks later, on September 26, 1996, that his family officially reported him as a missing person, deepening the mystery surrounding his sudden absence.
Benoit was described as a Caucasian male, standing at approximately 5'11' and weighing around 185 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He had several distinguishing marks, including a birthmark on the back of his neck, a scar on his upper back, and another scar above his eyebrow. His body was also adorned with tattoos; one of a spectre on the left side of his ribs and another on his right arm with the words 'Free Forever'. At the time of his disappearance, he was known to be a member of the 'Rowdy Crew,' a motorcycle club.
The details following his departure from home are murky. His motorcycle was later discovered at the clubhouse of the Rowdy Crew in Le Gardeur. It is believed that after arriving at the clubhouse, he got into a blue Chevrolet Camaro that belonged to his girlfriend. Adding another layer to the investigation, his girlfriend reported her car as stolen on September 17, 1996. The investigation into Benoit's disappearance has been ongoing for years, yet his case remains unsolved. The conflicting dates of when he was last seen, combined with the discovery of his motorcycle and the subsequent report of the stolen car, create a perplexing timeline for law enforcement. To this day, the circumstances of what happened to Benoit Lachance after he left his home remain unknown.Last Seen: Aug 25, 1996
