    Trouver Julie

    2019     Documentary    
    Canada
    Original lang: French

    Ever since Julie Surprenant disappeared from Terrebonne, Que. in 1999, her family has been anxious to know exactly what happened to her.

    While Surprenant, 16 at the time of her disappearance, is presumed to have been murdered, police never found her body or made a conviction.

    Now Quebec documentary filmmaker Stephan Parent is trying to cover new ground in the investigation, following up on details of the case he hopes will lead to a discovery.

    The film will look back at the 2012 coroner's inquest that concluded Surprenant was likely murdered, and that her neighbour -- convicted sex offender Richard Bouillon, was likely involved.

    According to the report, Bouillon had made a deathbed confession to nurses while in hospital in 2006, saying he had murdered Surprenant, and dumped her body in the Mille Îles River. But police divers never found a trace.
