North Bay Police Release Age Progression Image
The North Bay Police Service is releasing an age progressed image of Philippe GUERIN who went missing from North Bay in 1966.
The North Bay Police Service is currently investigating the historical missing person case involving Philippe GUERIN. GUERIN has been missing since June 12, 1966. He was 27 years old at the time of his disappearance. He would be 85 this year.
At the time he went missing, on June 12, 1966, Philippe was a patient of the Ontario Hospital, a psychiatric hospital that was located in the north end of North Bay and that has since been demolished. Hospital authorities sent a letter to the Widdifield Police Department to report him as missing.
The Widdifield Police followed up on a lead from a North Bay clergyman who picked up a hitchhiker matching Philippe’s description in the Sudbury area at Falconbridge. The hitchhiker, who the clergyman dropped off at the junction of Highways 17 and 11, south of North Bay, said he was heading to Sacré-Coeur, Québec. This led met with negative results. Widdifield Police were never able to locate Philippe and the investigation, now with the North Bay Police Service, remains unsolved.
Philippe GUERIN is described as:
- Gender: Male
- Ethnicity: Caucasian
- Age at disappearance: 27
- Age today: 85
- Eye Colour: Brown
- Hair: Brown, short
- Height: 5 ft 7 in
- Medium build
- Defining features: No upper teeth
Through collaboration with the Ontario Provincial Police and with the support of GUERIN’s family, a previously unknown photograph of Philippe GUERIN, as well as current photographs of a sibling, have been used to create an age-progressed image. Both images follow at the end of this media release.
