I wonder how they know he is "involuntarily missing"? Maybe there are details they are keeping private, or the family just feels he wouldn't have walked away.

He made me think of this UID who may have been French Canadian, though I can't tell whether there is much resemblance, especially since Le-Roi's family didn't know his weight and height.

This should be in 1960s Missing

I was looking through Canadian MP, which I never do, and came across a potential match that I thought I’d mention. The distance is huge, but there are some other things that match; overall appearance, age, possible buck teeth.

@MadMcGoo that seems like a decent lead. Has it been submitted as a possible lead? Trout Lake is a 34 hour (35K km) drive from Burnaby, BC. But, people cross Canada all the time. And driving through Michigan would have been an easier route than heading through northern Canada to get to Toronto in the winter months - if he happened to be heading that way in his Volkswagon.

I don’t think I submitted this one. I’ll look over the cases again tonight and submit! Thanks

Is it something I should learn to do myself? If so, would you mind pointing me in the right direction @MadMcGoo?

 

[MadMcGoo]

@Loralee Sure! I actually lost track of time yesterday and forgot. I’ll message you!

Was there ever any traction on this? I also noticed the similarity here, in terms of hair color, age, the UID most likely being Canadian.

What happened to Le-Roi La France? RCMP issue appeal in case of man missing for 60 years

The last time anyone saw Le-Roi La France was on March 20, 1964. On Tuesday, Coquitlam RCMP asked the public for help figuring out what happened to him.

bc.ctvnews.ca

''Police described La France as an Indigenous man with short brown hair, brown eyes and a slim build. They said he stands 5'5" tall and wears glasses.

"This year, Le-Roi will have been missing for 60 years," said Staff Sgt. Ed Yoshiyama, Coquitlam RCMP's investigative services support commander, in the release.''
