Circumstances of Disappearance:
Josee Boutin led a stable life of work and school while living at her parents' house in Gloucester. The police investigation determined there was no reason to suspect she'd want to run away.
She was finishing two high school credits so she could attend university in the fall, while working part time with the elderly and disabled.

The last day anyone saw Ms. Boutin was February 22, 1988. From all accounts, her day was ordinary. She'd gone to school, deposited a paycheck at the Beacon Hill Mall and was scheduled to work that night, but when she got home that afternoon, she called her boss, saying that she couldn't make it to work.

At about 16:50, a teacher from her school saw her running across the intersection of Ogilvie and Montreal roads, two blocks from her parents' house on Ogilvie Road. The next day, her parents realized she hadn't come home the night before, and her purse had been left behind. They immediately called police. No trace was ever found.

Wonder if the bones were identified or not..rbbm.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/police-to-dive-for-clues-after-woman-s-bones-found-in-rideau-canal-1.619440

October 19, 2006
''Ottawa police divers will search the waters near Dow's Lake for evidence related to the human remains found in the Rideau Canal on Tuesday.

National Capital Commission workers found the bag of human bones between Bronson Avenue and Dow's Lake, in a part of the canal adjacent to Carleton University, an Ottawa police news release said.

The workers were performing annual maintenance, draining the canal and picking up debris along it, when they made the discovery. A forensic examination of the bones on Wednesday found they belonged to an adult woman.''

''The only woman in the Ottawa area who has disappeared recently is Deborah Smith, who was last seen in February 2005.

Police are also trying to determine whether the remains match those of missing women from other cities.''

I think that in this case about which there is very little information, something came up about her, a date or a meeting with someone and she announced that she would not go to work... then a teacher sees her running, perhaps to reach something or someone...
I don't know why this case caught my attention...
either way
rest in peace
