Andre Bellemare was 49 when he was last seen by his wife at their home in Trois-Rivières on May 22, 2012. His disappearance was out of character and family members were especially worried because he required medication and there was no activity on his bank accounts after he vanished.

On May 24, 2012, his vehicle was found abandoned in a wooded area near the ZEC Tawachiche territory in the municipality of Lac-aux-Sables. The Sûreté du Québec mounted an extensive search involving ground teams, air support, canine units and volunteers. Searches continued for about three months but turned up no trace of Bellemare.

He is described as 1.83 meters tall, about 90 kilograms, with blue eyes and brown hair. Does anyone who was in or near ZEC Tawachiche in late May 2012 recall seeing a vehicle or a person matching his description?
