The Unsolved Murders of Marcia LeBlanc and Marcel Cormier

November 14, 1993 – 14-year-old Marcia LeBlanc and 17-year-old Marcel Cormier were murdered on a back road in the Saint-Antoine area.

Only Marcel’s body was found on November 14. Police suspected that Marcia LeBlanc had been abducted. Almost a full year later, 2 kms from the crime scene they found a sneaker, some bones, and teeth. Police confirmed these were the remains of Marcia.

Roger LeBlanc is a person of interest to investigators as he was known to frequent an after hours bar not far from the murder scene. He went missing the day after being interviewed by investigators regarding the murders of Marcia LeBlanc and Marcel Cormier. He has not been seen since November 21, 1993.

Initially, it was believed Roger LeBlanc was a lost hunter, however, it quickly came to light that Roger LeBlanc was in fact in the woods by choice. Some items belonging to Roger LeBlanc were found in the Canaan River. An extensive search of the area by police and volunteer search and rescue personnel met with negative results.

It is believed Roger LeBlanc may be deceased. He was known to spend a lot of his time hunting in the Downey Siding area. Investigators are asking the public to pay attention during the hunting season for anything which appears unusual as Roger LeBlanc’s remains could be discovered, if in fact he is deceased.
