Jean-Michel Collinge, disappeared in April 1973.

His father Pierre Collinge (1925-1997) and his family of five children (including Jean-Michel, born in Belgium in Nov. 1948) emigrated to Canada around 1960. Pierre was a Professor in the Dept. of Humanities and Communications, at the University of Sherbrooke.

Jean-Michel worked in Information Technology, for a company or organization he never named. He was a Mathematics genius. He lived in Montreal. He went to Sherbrooke for his mother's birthday. He announced that he was going on a business trip to the Western U.S. That was the last time his family saw him. Afterwards, the rent on his apartment went unpaid. The mail piled up in his letterbox.

Curiously, his name does not appear in the list of missing persons of the Montreal Police, and the Quebec Provincial Police

Wondering if he could be this 1977 Vancouver John Doe (PM warning). Age lines up, and I think they look reasonably similar given the different angles. I've always thought that this UID probably had ties to Europe given his clothing. The rifle the UID used was purchased in Quebec. Lots of similarities IMO - timeline might be a bit off, though.

Do you have a link/source for this information?

Interesting. Jean-Michel Collinge seemed to have curly hair, the Vancouver body is different.
Collinge would have been 29 in 1977; the Vancouver man seems younger. Collinge had been living in Canada since 1960, not sure he'd have European clothing. Plus, he was Belgian.
Thank you for pointing this out.
