Manon Dubé was a 10 year old[1][2] Canadian girl from Sherbrooke, Quebec[3][4] who disappeared on January 27, 1978,[5] and was found dead in Ayer's Cliff on March 24, 1978.[6][7]

Although the precise cause of Dubé's death remains uncertain, Canada's National Post has unveiled compelling evidence that she was murdered.[8][9] After discovering links between the circumstances of Dubé's case and the close resemblance to the recent deaths of two other girls, Theresa Allore and Louise Camirand,[10][11] they theorized that the 3 deaths had been committed by the same person.[12][13]

After bringing in geographic profiler, Kim Rossmo, an expert in connecting serial crimes,[14] he strongly suggested that a serial killer was operating in the area in the late 1970's.

Disappearance

Dubé was playing with her friends[15] and younger sister, Chantel, on January 27, 1978. Dubé, her sister, and friends had later gone sledding, but then had decided to split up when it started to get dark around 7:30 p.m. which is when Dubé was last seen. When Dubé didn't arrive home, she was then reported missing by her mother Jeannine Dubé.

A large search party was later conducted to find Dubé upon the request of Dubé's mother, as she acted very quickly as she contacted the Police who organized a search team of 16-officers with two tracking dogs then searched a wooded area that was located nearby. In addition another party consisting of 13-officers conducted a search along rue Bienville going from house-to-house.

During the time she was missing, Dube's mother had received multiple phone calls from people saying that they had Dubé in their possession and they wanted a $25,000 reward for her safe return, but these were determined to be hoaxes.[16] A possible reason that theses calls were made is that Dubé's mother's husband the father of Manon who had died, which left Dubé's mother's which a large sum of money, which some extortionists may have known about and thought that this would be a way of collecting her money.

Discovery

Dubé's body was found partially frozen face down in a stream on Good Friday, March 24, 1978[17] by two young boys from Montreal. Dubé had the same winter clothes on from when she was last seen and had a gash on her forehead which may have been caused by a strike,[18] which has led some people to believe that foul play was involved.[19][20] Dubé also had suffered broken bones and is also believed to have been the victim of a hit and run[21] by the RCMP, and is believed by some people that she may also have been sexually abused.[22]

Aftermath

Dubé's body was taken to Montreal where an autopsy was performed. It was suggested that the gash on her head may have been caused by something metal and her body may have been moved[23] to the stream where she was found. Additionally she may have been there for less than two months and less than the time she was missing. The case became cold and remained dormant for 23 years until 2001, when Dubé's sister requested to the police that it be re-opened. After reinvestigating, the results proved inconclusive and the case was again made dormant.
