THERESA ALLORE

Theresa Allore was a 19-year-old Canadian college student who disappeared on Friday, November 3, 1978 from Champlain College, Lennoxville in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

Five months later, on April 13, 1979, her body was discovered in a small body of water approximately one kilometer from her dormitory residence in Compton, Quebec. Upon her disappearance police initially suggested she was a runaway. When her body was discovered police then suggested that she was the possible victim of a drug overdose, perhaps with the assistance of fellow college students.

John Allore, assisted by investigative reporter and friend, Patricia Pearson, developed compelling evidence suggesting Theresa was murdered, and that her death was linked to the unsolved cases of 10-year-old Manon Dube in March 1978 and Louise Camirand in 1977. Their book, Wish You Were Here links two other unsolved murders from that era; the 1977 deaths of Helen Monast from Chambly,  and Denise Bazinet from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Wish You Were Here suggests that systemic and criminal investigative failures at the hands of the Quebec police allowed for a serial sexual predator named Luc Gregoire to operate in the Quebec region in the late 1970s.

Is it Luc Gregoire? The eyes see what they want to see. If Gregoire was criminally active on the island of Montreal as early as 1977, it casts a whole new perspective on a catalog of the city’s unsolved murders.

Est-ce Luc Grégoire ? Les yeux voient ce qu’ils veulent voir. Si Grégoire était criminel sur l’île de Montréal dès 1977, cela jette une toute nouvelle perspective sur un catalogue des meurtres non résolus de la ville.
