Approximately one block from the apartment building, Chantel ran ahead out of the cold, leaving Dubé behind on the street corner.

I pray to God this hasn’t happened.” On March 24, 1978, Good Friday, Dubé's body was found on an isolated road nineteen miles from Sherbrooke, face-down and partially frozen in a stream, by two teenagers from Montreal.

Dubé had the same winter clothes on, save one red mitten and her tuque (which was eventually recovered), from when she was last seen,[23] and there was a gash on her forehead that may have been caused by the jagged ice and also had suffered broken bones.
