Disparue depuis 10 ans: sa mère garde espoir de la revoir | infodimanche.com

Article from 2008. Translated from French using Google translate.

"I have a feeling that she is still alive. Whenever someone raises the possibility that she may have died and suggests that I grieve to turn the page, a little inner voice cries out to me that it's impossible. I believe in the maternal instinct, it's very strong, ”says Lorraine Cyr.

The mother describes her daughter as a child with a heart of gold, very generous, a little cheerful. She is aware that Stéphanie experienced many problems in her childhood and adolescence. Very tall and sturdier than her classmates, she was the victim of mockery in the schoolyard. Besides, with the consent of her parents and the doctor who followed her, she was removed from school before entering high school. Later, she also experienced drinking problems.

“Despite everything, Stéphanie had a great relationship with her father, her brother and me. There was a lot of love between us. That's what makes it even more difficult, ”says Lorraine Cyr.

In the past, the family has participated in Homecoming shows, by Claire Lamarche, to no avail. Hope reached its peak when in 2001, when Mrs. Cyr thought she saw her daughter in a television report on prostitution in Montreal. But the investigation and all the steps that followed did nothing.

In the first years after the disappearance, Lorraine Cyr also claims to have received several phones, where nobody spoke on the phone. She is sure it was her daughter.

“I have long thought that she was in someone's grip and that she could not communicate with us. Maybe today she is free, but she no longer knows how to return, ”she says. "One thing is certain, I am still waiting with open arms. I won't ask her a question, I won't judge her. All I want is to be able to look her in the eye and tell her in person how much I love her, ”she added.

Stéphanie Cyr disparaissait il y 20 ans

Article from 2018, translated.

Two decades after the disappearance of her daughter, Lorraine Cyr remains hopeful of finding her. The wound left by the departure of the young woman, who would now be 38 years old, is still alive.

“You go to family events, you see the others who are happy, who hug their daughter. You wonder, maybe she has small children and I don't know them. "

The 60-year-old believes her daughter could have traveled to the Toronto area to fulfill her dream and work in the fashion industry. Stéphanie left without warning and leaving all her things behind.

“We never could understand why. Of course, when she was younger she had problems with bullying at school. It started in the fourth year, ”laments the mother.

Each year, new information is sent to the police in connection with this case. "The file is not put on a shelf. The police are still actively trying to get information and investigate this file, ”commented Alain Lang, of the Edmundston Police Force.

Stephanie CYR -SAINT-BASILE NB June 5th 1998

Interesting comment from an individual who believes she sat next to Stephanie on a flight.

''I think she sat next to my niece on a flight from Washington, DC to Denver around this time frame. She loaned my niece an iPOD or something similar to listen to during the flight. She was wearing either platform shoes or heels and was very tall with red hair. She said she met a man from Texas on the Internet who sent her a plane ticket and was going to meet her in Denver. She was suppose to meet his plane that arrived after her flight. I looked for a security guard to help her but the gate area cleared out quickly and there was no one around. We looked at the arriving flights and I gave her a vague direction to head toward because I did not know the airport very well. My niece was born in 1977 and the girl was a couple of years younger. Could be the same girl but I am not certain. It has haunted me that I did not intervene but I did not want to get my niece and myself involved in a stupid or dangerous situation. The girl was wearing the clothes and makeup appropriate for an older person than she said she was. If her parents allowed her to dress like that, I figured they'd have to deal with the consequences. My niece was coming to Denver to participate in a 4H Beef Club competition and was brought up with tight supervision. This girl was not the type I wanted my niece to associate with.''
