MONTREAL – Police north of Montreal say a vehicle found in the Mille-Îles river on Sunday could be linked to the case of a Laval man who went missing in 1988.

Deux-Montagnes police say they are looking into the discovery, reported to police by a diving group known as Exploring With a Mission.

The group searches waterways for missing people and says they located a vehicle on the bottom of the river with bones inside.

Group member William McIntosh says he believes the vehicle is the tan Jeep Cherokee Chief belonging to Robert St-Louis, a 42-year-old father of five last seen in June 1988.

Police say they requested the assistance of Quebec provincial police divers because the vehicle might be linked to a missing person case. 

Laval police says its crimes against persons division will try to confirm whether any human remains recovered from the site can be identified.
