Two decades after a young Surrey woman vanished without a trace, investigators are making a renewed public appeal for information that could solve the mysterious case.
The Day She Disappeared
Michelle Caroline Choiniere was just 25 years old on September 27, 2005, when she told her mother she was going out and would check in later that day. The Surrey resident never made that check-in call and was never heard from again.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) continues to investigate Choiniere's disappearance and suspected death, treating it as a homicide case despite never recovering her body.
Decades Without Answers
For twenty years, Choiniere's family has lived with the painful uncertainty of not knowing what happened to their loved one. Police emphasize that time has not diminished their commitment to finding answers.
September 27, 2005 remains the last confirmed date anyone saw or heard from the young Surrey woman. Despite extensive investigations over the years, the case has remained stubbornly cold.
Fresh Hope for Resolution
Investigators believe someone in the community holds crucial information that could break the case open. They're appealing to anyone who might have details, no matter how insignificant they may seem.
"She has not been forgotten," investigators emphasized in their renewed appeal, noting that advances in investigative techniques and changing relationships over time might encourage someone to come forward with new information.
The IHIT appeal comes as the case reaches its twentieth anniversary, with police hoping that the passage of time might finally persuade someone to share what they know about Michelle Choiniere's disappearance.
