Montreal police reopen cold case after outside investigators uncover 'new, important facts'

Montreal police set up a command post Friday at Notre-Dame Street and 56th Ave. in Pointe-aux-Trembles -- that's where Patricia Ferguson was last seen on June 6, 1996.

''Montreal police set up a command post Friday at Notre-Dame Street and 56th Ave. in Pointe-aux-Trembles -- that's where Patricia Ferguson was last seen on June 6, 1996.

She had been staying at a friend's home with her baby but later went out for a drink with a next-door neighbour and never returned.

Police hope the command post will allow them to gather more information on her disappearance. Forensic investigators were also on scene.''


''St-Germain recently collaborated with journalist Marie-Christine Bergeron on a true-crime documentary on Ferguson’s disappearance. The pair managed to find relatives of the victim including her daughter, Sabrina Ferguson, now 25.''
Their persistence paid off. After the series began airing on Crave last week, police sent a team back to Pointe-aux-Trembles, to reopen the case.''

"They gave new facts that we didn't have in 1996,” said Lt.-Det Sebastien Levesque.

“New, important facts.”
For example, police now know which apartment Ferguson spent the night before going missing. Crime scene technicians spent the day looking for clues there that might have survived the passage of time.''

Sun Youth is also offering a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who can provide information leading to finding her.

When she disappeared, Ferguson was 23 years old. She was 4’10” inches tall, weighed 115 pounds, and had brown hair and brown.

Anyone who believes they have information is asked to meet the investigators at the command post or to contact police at 514-206-6513.''

Montreal police to provide 'major' new development in woman's 1996 disappearance

Montreal police say they have made a 'major development' in the case of a missing woman from the late 1990s.

montreal.ctvnews.ca

''Montreal police say they have made a "major development" in the case of a missing woman from the late 1990s.

After reopening the cold case late last year, police said they will be providing an update to the media Friday morning at 10:30 into the disappearance of Patricia Ferguson.

Ferguson was last seen near the corner of Notre-Dame Street and 56th Avenue in Pointe-aux-Trembles on June 6, 1996. She was 23. ''

''Police learned, for example, in which apartment Ferguson spent the night before she went missing.

The development comes after a recent breakthrough in another Montreal cold case. Last month, police in Longueuil, on Montreal's South Shore, solved a 1975 murder after new techniques in DNA evidence identified the killer of Sharron Prior.''

Montreal cold case: Major development in 1996 missing person case

Sabrina Ferguson was 11 months old when her mother, Patricia Ferguson, vanished. Now Serge Audette, 69, has been charged with manslaughter.

torontosun.com

''The Montreal police had to hastily cancel a news conference Friday morning after a defence lawyer representing a man who was charged with manslaughter asked that a publication ban be placed on his client’s name as well as the name of the woman he is alleged to have killed in 1996.''

''The police announced Thursday that they planned to reveal a major development Friday in the disappearance the woman. But when the 69-year-old man appeared before a judge Friday morning to be charged with manslaughter, his lawyer made the very unusual request for the publication bans.''

''Markovic wrote that the four-part documentary described her client as a criminal, a dangerous man and a predator. She also wrote that one of the interviews done with the man, by the private investigator, was recorded with a hidden camera.

Another issue raised by Marcovic is that some media published the suspect’s name on Thursday, before he was scheduled to make his first court appearance.''

On Friday, the young woman watched as Serge Audette, 69, was charged at the Montreal courthouse with killing Patricia Ferguson on June 6, 1996. He was charged with manslaughter when he made his first court appearance before Quebec Court Judge Thierry Nadon.

“I’m completely relieved that justice can be done for my mom. I’m happy,” Sabrina Ferguson told the Montreal Gazette after Audette appeared through a video-conference call.

“I was 11 months old. I grew up without knowing my mom, without knowing where she was. It’s devastating to know that something like that happened to her. But it’s also a relief knowing that she wanted to come back to me, but she just couldn’t.”

''A publication ban has been lifted on the release of details concerning Patricia Ferguson's disappearance in Pointe-aux-Trembles some 27 years ago.

Two weeks ago, Montreal police arrested 69-year-old Serge Audette in connection with her disappearance -- a case that had remained unsolved for nearly three decades.''

Sabrina hopes her mother's remains are located soon so she can give her a proper funeral, she said.

Audette, the man arrested, is now behind bars and will be back in court on Thursday for a bail hearing. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison.''

Patricia Ferguson cold case: Man charged with manslaughter seeking bail

A Montreal man accused of manslaughter in the disappearance of a young mother decades ago in Pointe-aux-Trembles is trying to seek bail while awaiting trial.

montreal.ctvnews.ca

''A Montreal man accused of manslaughter in the disappearance of a young mother decades ago in Pointe-aux-Trembles is trying to seek bail while awaiting trial.

Serge Audette, 69, was on parole in 1996 when Patricia Ferguson disappeared. At the time, police issued a missing-person alert, but there was never any form of a follow-up, and the case went cold.

Audette was finally arrested and charged with manslaughter in June. He is currently behind bars on unrelated charges, but he still has the right to seek bail.''


''His arrest follows a lengthy investigation by a local private investigator working with the Unsolved Murders and Missing Cases of Quebec, with the involvement of documentary filmmaker and Noovo Info anchor Marie-Christine Bergeron.

Their production, L'appartement 5, triggered a new investigation by Montreal police, who used the information gathered to trace and arrest Audette.

The man has a lengthy criminal record involving sex crimes, before and after the alleged events of 1996.''

Maryse St-Germain, private detective, and Marie-Christine Bergeron, journalist, join forces to solve the disappearance of Patricia Ferguson.
