March 31st, 2026 – A collaborative effort between the Sûreté du Québec, the Greater Sudbury Police Service (GSPS), the Québec Coroner’s Office, and the Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de médecine légale (LSJML) of the ministère de la Sécurité publique du Québec has led to the location and identification of missing person Pamela Harvey.
Pamela Harvey was reported missing to the Sudbury Regional Police Service (SRPS) on December 25, 1978. She was 23 years old at the time of her disappearance and was last seen in Greater Sudbury.
In March 1979, the body of an unidentified woman was discovered in St‑Eustache, Quebec. Investigators determined that she was the victim of a homicide. Despite the limitations of forensic science at the time, the evidence was carefully collected and preserved by investigators and LSJML forensic specialists and has been securely maintained ever since. Although current technologies were not available at the time, this preservation enabled the use of modern forensic methods, including DNA analysis.
