The coroner’s office has just identified the body of a Jonquiéroise who went missing 18 years ago.
Lydie Larouche, a 30-year-old mother when she disappeared, had not been seen since October 27, 2004.
In July 2010, bones were discovered near Baie Sainte-Marguerite, near the Saguenay River.
It is only recently that the genetic correspondence of this discovery might be established with the missing.
The coroner’s office will soon file a report explaining the causes and circumstances of death, which remain unclear at this time.
Sunday, relatives of Lydie Larouche attended a farewell ceremony in Chicoutimi.
