On a cold winter day, February 2, 1992, a 31-year-old man named Richard Liboiron was seen for the last time. He was with a friend at a hotel in Gatineau, Quebec, from which they departed on a snowmobile. Their intended destination was Ottawa, a journey that required them to cross the Ottawa River. Clad in a black Skidoo suit, black boots, and a black hat, Richard and his friend set out across the frozen expanse, but they never reached the other side.
The hours and days that followed their departure brought a growing sense of dread as Richard failed to make contact with his loved ones. An investigation was launched into his disappearance, turning the focus to the icy waters of the Ottawa River. At some point, a significant piece of evidence was recovered when the Royal Canadian Mounted Police found the snowmobile they had been riding. It was discovered in the ice near the Blair Road boat launch, a somber confirmation that their journey had ended in tragedy.
Despite the discovery of the snowmobile, Richard's body was never located. The years have stretched on, leaving his family, including his fiancée, without the closure of laying him to rest. The prevailing belief is that he perished in a snowmobile accident on the river that day. The case remains a painful open wound for his family, who hold onto the hope that his remains will one day be found. Richard Liboiron is remembered as a white male, standing 5'9' and weighing around 135 pounds at the time he went missing, with brown hair and brown eyes. His disappearance is a haunting reminder of the unpredictable nature of life and the enduring pain of unresolved loss.Last Seen: Feb 2, 1992
