Global News
Exactly 40 years after eight-year-old Nicole Morin vanished in Etobicoke, Toronto police are renewing their call for help to crack the cold case.
Toronto police have renewed an appeal for a little girl who went missing from an Etobicoke apartment exactly 40 years ago Wednesday.
On July 30, 1985, a then eight-year-old Nicole Morin reportedly left her top-floor apartment on The West Mall in Etobicoke to meet a friend for a swim.
She was never seen again.
Nicole’s disappearance marked one of the largest and most extensive searches in Toronto police’s history. Now, police are offering a $50,000 reward for anyone with information about her disappearance.
“We’re here to remember Nicole, to support those who continue to carry this loss and to make a renewed appeal for any information,” Det. Sgt. Steve Smith told reporters Wednesday.
“This case is not closed. It has never been forgotten and it only takes one piece of new information to make that difference.”
Melissa Elaschuk, who was friends with Nicole, said “she was my best friend.”
Elaschuk said the two lived in the same apartment building and would walk to school together every day. Nicole’s mother also used to babysit Elaschuk’s younger brother.
