On September 25, 1997, a 32-year-old man named Eric Pouliot informed others that he was leaving his home to travel 'up north' for what he stated would be a short trip of no more than 48 hours. At the time, he had only been living in the LeMoyne district of Longueuil, Quebec, for about a week. Worry grew when he did not come back as planned.
Concerns were heightened by the fact that he had very little money with him and did not own a vehicle, making his intended journey and subsequent silence all the more mysterious. His case was officially reported to the Service de police de Longueuil, who opened an investigation into his sudden and unexplained disappearance.
Eric was described as having a heavy build, a dark complexion, and brown eyes. His black hair was styled in a ponytail at the time he went missing. The limited details surrounding his departure have left his loved ones and investigators with many unanswered questions. He was reportedly wearing or in possession of a backpack, coveralls, a running suit, and leather gloves. The ambiguity of his destination, only referred to as 'up north,' provided a vast and challenging area for any search efforts to be concentrated.
The disappearance of Eric Pouliot has remained an open and unresolved case for many years. Despite the passage of time, the circumstances surrounding his vanishing have not become clearer. The lack of any significant leads or new information has left his case file with the Service de police de Longueuil largely unchanged. The official investigation continues, holding onto the hope that one day, information may surface that will finally provide answers about what happened to Eric after he left his residence for a short trip and never returned.Last Seen: Sep 25, 1997
