Lost files: authorities no longer remembered the disappearance

A man whose sister has been missing for 56 years in the Quebec region has difficulty forgiving the police department for having misplaced his sister's file.

“It was a shock when I saw that there were no longer any traces of her anywhere,” laments Adolphe Carrier, now 63 years old.

He realized in 2006 that the case of his sister Diane no longer appeared in the missing persons section of Quebec City.

Diane Carrier disappeared on September 27, 1963. That day, the 6-year-old girl left her family home in the Place Royale area, near the Old Port. She was going to look for her older brother, Adolphe, to let him know that supper was ready.

But she never returned, and her absence was quickly reported to the police.

Believing that investigators from the Old Capital had been handling his sister's case in recent years, Mr. Carrier left them to their work.

It was when wanting to obtain explanations for the withdrawal of his sister's wanted notice that he was told that there was nothing in the name of Diane Carrier.

“They searched for a few weeks and ended up telling me that the file had possibly been placed in a file other than that of my sister during the transfers from paper files to computer files,” explains the sixty-year-old.

“You rely on them to conduct investigations. They are not supposed to lose files,” he says angrily.

The spokesperson for the Quebec City Police Department, Étienne Doyon, confirms that there were shortcomings in the management of this investigation.

“The original document was lost,” he agrees.

He assures that this is, to his knowledge, the only case that had been reported in terms of old disappearance files.

“The investigation was redone in a rigorous manner, but we are aware that this is not the optimal way, given the disappearance of the original file,” he adds. Adolphe Carrier mentioned to the Journal that he thought about filing a lawsuit against the police force, but that he preferred to conserve his energies to try to find his sister.

“We may have missed chances to find her or gather information while her file was lost and not posted,” concludes Mr. Carrier with disappointment.

60th anniversary of the disappearance of Diane Carrier: call for solidarity to resolve the oldest unresolved case at the Quebec City Police Department

Montreal, 09-27-2023 – Today, September 27, 2023, marks the sad 60th anniversary of the disappearance of Diane Carrier, a 6-year-old girl from Quebec City. Diane Carrier's family is organizing an event this Wednesday, September 27 at 2 p.m., at UNESCO Park in Old Quebec.

On this occasion, the Réseau Enfants-Retour is launching an appeal for solidarity and collective memory with the aim of resolving one of the oldest unresolved cases at the SPVQ.

Diane Carrier left her house in the Place Royale area near the Old Port of Quebec to pick up her brothers for supper, but she never returned. His passing left a painful void within his family who, even after 60 years, continue to search for answers and maintain hope.

The Returning Children Network, an organization dedicated to assisting families searching for missing children, in collaboration with law enforcement and government authorities, is taking this opportunity to raise awareness of the need to remain vigilant and to collaborate in investigations concerning the disappearance of children.

Hope persists despite the years that have passed. Adolphe and Michel Carrier, her two brothers, express the wish that their sister can be found and that she does not fall into oblivion.

The SPVQ reminds that any information, even confidential, can help advance the investigation.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Diane Carrier, please contact the Quebec City Police Department at (418) 641-AGIR (2447).

Together, let's ensure that Diane's memory is honored by shedding light on her disappearance.
