On Thursday evening, the Sûreté du Québec issued an urgent request for public assistance after two teenage girls from Roberval were reported missing. The girls, identified as 16‑year‑old Laura‑Lee Connolly‑Paul and 13‑year‑old Audrina Dufour, have not been seen since their disappearance, prompting a coordinated search effort by provincial authorities.
Police confirmed that the investigation is focused on the Roberval area but also includes nearby communities of Saint‑Félicien and Mashteuiatsh as possible locations where the girls might be found. Search teams are canvassing roads, waterways, and forested sections within these regions, while officers continue to gather information from residents and witnesses.
The Sûreté du Québec emphasized that any detail, no matter how minor it may seem, could prove vital to locating the missing teens. Authorities have asked anyone who observed unusual activity, heard sounds, or saw vehicles near the girls' last known whereabouts to come forward. Individuals with relevant information are instructed to contact the police directly through the dedicated tip line provided in the public alert.
The search remains active as officials work through leads and expand the area of interest. The police department reiterated its commitment to finding Laura‑Lee Connolly‑Paul and Audrina Dufour and urged the community to stay vigilant, offering gratitude to those already assisting in the effort.
