On September 25, 2013, a 46-year-old man named Daniel Pierre was seen for the last time in Montreal, Quebec. At the time he went missing, he was driving a rented black 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. He was not alone; his dog, a reddish-brown pit bull with a white chest, was with him. Concern for his well-being was immediately heightened because Daniel was a diabetic who required medication, which he did not have with him. The last known details of his whereabouts were tied to the vehicle he was driving, which was later discovered abandoned at the corner of Deguire Boulevard and Ashton Street in the Ville Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal.

The investigation into Daniel's disappearance quickly took a concerning turn as authorities uncovered potential connections to another missing person's case. Another man, Mohamed Ali Qazi, vanished around the same time, and investigators believe the two disappearances are linked. Both men were described as acquaintances with ties to organized crime, leading officials to suspect they met with foul play. The case was soon classified as an endangered missing person case, with police also considering the possibility of a double murder.

Over time, the outlook on finding Daniel became increasingly grim. Investigators began to operate under the theory that both he and Mohamed Ali Qazi were victims of a homicide. Authorities have expressed the belief that their bodies were dismembered, making recovery highly unlikely. The investigation led police to suspect the involvement of figures within the Montreal mafia, with one individual, Salvatore Scoppa, being targeted in searches for information regarding the double murder. Despite these leads and the strong suspicion of foul play, Daniel Pierre's whereabouts remain unknown, and his case is a somber mystery, leaving his family without answers. The official investigation, led by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, continues to seek any information that could bring closure to this troubling case.
