It has been 35-years since Nicole Morin disappeared and Toronto Police are still optimistic that she’s alive.
Nicole was eight-years-old when she went missing on July 30, 1985 at about 11 a.m. after leaving her apartment on the top floor of 627 The West Mall, in Etobicoke.
“She was never seen again,” police said on the 35-th anniversary of her disappearance. “She was just eight-years-old at the time and would be 43 now.”
An artist rendition of what Nicole would look like today (in photo) was released by police.
Veteran detectives have been working quietly behind the scenes over the years to crack the case that angered the community and made headlines back in the mid-1980.
Police say over the years there have been several tips from community members near and far.
“Yet police have been unable to bring this investigation to a conclusion and it is still unknown what exactly happened that day,” according to the release.
Nicole was described as white, 4’0″, 55 lbs., with straight shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes, and had a birth mark on her right upper forehead. In 2019, an updated artist’s rendition was released by Toronto Police to show what she could look like today in the hope someone recognized her.
Detectives are asking the community to help them find out happened to Nicole and provide a conclusion for her family and friends.
