The family is still searching
On August 22, 1996, a passer by sadly made a gruesome discovery. The body of Mr. Jacques Gendron was found riddled with five bullets in his car, still running, in a sandpit on Kanasuta Lake Road, a few kilometers from Rouyn-Noranda.
Even though the incident occurred almost 30 years ago, it must still be fresh in the public’s memory, as the crime scene had been closed for several days due to a bomb found near the victim.

This father, grandfather, and partner of 54 years led a very full life and was known to the local community, notably as the owner of the Aphrodite bar, but also for his passion for country music, being a singer-songwriter himself.
Mr. Gendron’s family is still searching for answers. No information is trivial, because “the trivial can sometimes lead to great things.”
Any information related to this murder can be submitted confidentially to the Sûreté du Québec’s criminal information center at 1-800-659-4264.
