Goudreau family continues to seek answers as homicide investigation reaches 50 years

Two days later, her body was found in a rural area north of Devon and an autopsy unveiled that she was murdered.

Since that day, investigators have investigated multiple avenues, reviewed evidence, and have worked with information provided by the public.

Despite that, police have yet to solve the case.

“Marie was our little sister, a bright, vibrant light who brought warmth, humour and endless energy into our family,” said the Goudreau family. “She had just finished high school and was excited about her future. Fifty years ago, our beloved sister was tragically taken from us, and the pain of that loss remains as deep today as it was then. Not a day goes by that we do not miss her presence and the future she was robbed of living.”

She was the youngest of eight siblings and at the time had just graduated from high school and was preparing to begin the next chapter of her life.

This August marks 50 years since her homicide, and her family continues to seek answers.

“Half a century later, her murder remains unsolved, leaving our family still searching for truth and justice,” her family added. “Somebody knows something—or suspects something. Even the smallest detail could help bring long-awaited answers. For our family’s sake, if you have information, please come forward. It is never too late to do the right thing.”

RCMP say that information that may have seemed insignificant in 1976 may be viewed differently today.

Anyone with information about the homicide of Marie Goudreau is asked to contact the Alberta RCMP K Division Historical Homicide Unit at RCMP.KHHU-KHHU.GRC@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or contact their local police service.
