Lorraine Legault was playing outside her grandfather's home in June of 1979. Her grandfather went to make some coffee and when he returned to the window, she was gone. An earlier story says that a man with blonde hair abducted Lorraine; another says that the abductor was a "young, acne-faced man".
Police have long believed that a relative was involved in the abduction and that Lorraine was later sold. Her grandparents didn't believe that to be the case and felt that other avenues were not fully investigated. Lorraine had lived with her grandparents since the age of six months.
Investigators have announced that they have reopen the case.

Under a polygraph test administered by police, the mother said she had received offers to buy the child.
The father refused to take a polygraph test.
Police speculated at the time that the most likely reason for her disappearance was that she was possibly sold to foreigners.
