In the spring of 1975, Montreal was a city caught in the grip of a violent biker war, a brutal conflict that would leave a trail of unsolved disappearances and murders. It was in this turbulent atmosphere that 21-year-old Gaétan Poulin vanished without a trace. On the evening of May 18, 1975, Gaétan left his family's home in the Rosemont neighborhood of Montreal. He was a young man with brown hair and green eyes, and on that night, he was dressed in a pink shirt, beige pants, and brown shoes. A scar on his left arm was a distinguishing feature. His destination was a local brewery, a detail that in the violent context of the time, would prove to be tragically significant. The brewery Gaétan was headed to was the Brasserie Iberville, a known hotspot for the warring factions of the Devil's Disciples motorcycle gang. The mid-1970s in Montreal were marked by a violent "meth war" between rival biker gangs, and the Brasserie Iberville was a central stage for this conflict. Some sources suggest that Gaétan was a regular patron of the establishment. According to one account, on the night of May 17, 1975, Gaétan Poulin was kidnapped from the brewery after 10 p.m. The area was so volatile that the Brasserie Iberville itself was the target of a bombing just a few months after Gaétan's disappearance, and was the site of other kidnappings and murders. Decades have passed since Gaétan Poulin was last seen, and his case remains an unsolved disappearance. The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal continues to list him as a missing person, his file a silent testament to a violent chapter in the city's history. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance strongly suggest he was a victim of the organized crime that plagued Montreal at the time. Whether he was a direct target or a tragic victim of circumstance remains unknown. The lack of resolution in his case leaves a void for his family and loved ones, a painful question mark in the city's collective memory. His disappearance serves as a somber reminder of the human cost of the violent biker wars of the 1970s and the lasting impact on the lives of those who were lost in the crossfire.
