MONTREAL – Montreal-area police say a missing person’s case from 1988 has been solved with the recent discovery of human remains in a vehicle submerged in a river.
Robert St-Louis, a 42-year-old father of five from Laval, Que., disappeared in June 1988.
A diving group called Exploring With a Mission, hired by the St-Louis family, found bones inside a vehicle in the Mille-Îles River north of Montreal on July 20.
Exploring With a Mission uses sonar to search waterways for missing people.
Laval police say a coroner confirmed that the remains belonged to the missing man.
Police paid tribute to the family, which has pursued efforts to find their missing relative for the past 37 years.
