Today marks 37 years since Samuel LaChance disappeared when he left a residence in Prince Albert.

The Prince Albert Police Service Historical Crimes and Missing Persons Unit continues to investigate and today is renewing the call for public assistance.

On July 29, 1987, LaChance was seen leaving a home on the West Hill.

Investigators would like to extend a thank you to those who have provided information about LaChance’s disappearance. His daughter told police his children miss him and think of him often. They hope more information can come forward so the family can give their loved one a proper burial.

Anyone who may have information about LaChance’s disappearance, or his activities prior to going missing is urged to contact police.
