Details: Pierrette was last seen on January 9, 1997, in Saint-Romuald, Quebec, as she was heading to her room in the home she was living in. While Pierrette did have a diagnosed mental illness, she was taking her medication and there is no evidence to suggest that she was having any suicidal thoughts at the time of her disappearance.
Pierrette’s family learned that a cousin who works at Cité-de-la-Santé reportedly saw her there as a patient between 2016 and 2019. The family was made aware of this information in 2021 and notified the police. As a result, Pierrette’s case was reopened.
On November 22, 2022, the Levis Police Department released the following:
The Lévis Police Department would like to inform the public that on November 23, 2022, it will be erecting a command post on the grounds of the Cité de la Santé in Laval. This operation is related to a disappearance that occurred in 1997 on the territory of the City of Lévis.
Initially, in January 1997, Ms. Pierrette Bouffard, residing at 2446 Maupas Street in Lévis, disappeared without a trace. Despite searches, the woman could not be located. Several years later, information obtained by the SPVL allowed the case to be reopened.
According to this information, a woman matching the description of the missing person was seen at the Cité de la Santé in Laval between 2016 and 2019 by an employee who was also a member of the missing person’s family.
To help locate this patient, we are asking for help from the public and Cité de la Santé employees. We will be available from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm this Wednesday, November 23, at 1755 Bd. René-Laennec in Laval. Anyone with information related to this case will be able to meet with investigators on site.
Police released two new composite sketches when they announced that Pierrette’s case had been reopened.
According to the Quebec Journal, police met with approximately 900 potential witnesses, but no new information was obtained.
