Could this Jane Doe be Lucie Gelinas?

21-year-old Lucie Gelinas disappeared from Trois-Riviere, Quebec in April of 1973, saying that she was going to travel to Vancouver with a friend. Her whereabouts - and the whereabouts of her friend - after that are unknown. Lucie is a match for the age, the long brown hair, and the rough location. It seems plausible that she may have hung around Vancouver for a couple of months before meeting with some sort of foul play. She's slightly shorter than Jane Doe (5'5) and slightly lighter (119lbs), but the remains were quite decomposed by the time they were discovered, so those height/weight stats are likely estimates.

''But some effort, to me, was made to take her that far away,” he said. “Even Naramata – it’s kind of off the beaten path.”

The case is not actively being pursued by police.

Insp. Brad Haugli of Penticton RCMP said the file is well-known to its major crime unit.

“I would have no doubt that they would be taking all of those files where there’s an ability to have DNA and review all cases in British Columbia and elsewhere, comparing unknown DNA to the known DNA of this offender.”

Anyone who may have seen Fowler in the Okanagan in the early 1970s is asked to call Crime Stoppers or the tip line at 1-877-543-4822. ''
