Mélina Martin, 13 years old, was dropped off by her mother on January 23, 2005 around 1:30 p.m. at Roch-Bourbonnais Park in Farnham, where the annual Snow Festival was taking place. Melina was supposed to meet up with her mother at 5pm at a Valentine restaurant to get home, but after a 30-45 minute wait, Mélina’s mother had to leave to pick up her son. Before leaving, she told the waitress to tell Mélina, if she arrived, that she would come back soon. When she came back, the waitress reportedly told her that Mélina had come and then left, but that she would be back soon. Her mother therefore waited again but seeing that Mélina was still not arriving, she would have returned to speak with the waitress who was no longer certain on what day exactly she had seen Mélina. To this day, it is still not known whether the young girl made it to the restaurant.
Mélina’s mother said that her daughter went to her friend’s house so they could go to the festival together, but her friend was ill and could not accompany her. Mélina therefore contacted one of her sisters to have her children accompany her, but her sister decided it was too cold to let them out. We also know that Mélina would have gone to her boyfriend’s house that afternoon. Her family didn’t know she had one. She would only have stayed there for about ten minutes and broke up with him. The breakup went reportedly well.
The police always thought she had run away, but Mélina’s family do not believe that this is what happened to the young girl.
