A new group looking into the disappearance of Sudbury teen Meagan Pilon is treating the case as a homicide.
It has been more than six years since the then 15-year-old went missing. She was last seen by her father, Marc Pilon, on Sept. 11, 2013.
You’ve likely seen posters with details of her disappearance, what she looked like at the time, and seeking information on her whereabouts.
A Facebook group, Help us find Meagan Pilon, was created to help find her. The group has almost 1,100 members, and the administrators keep the public up to date on what’s happening with the case.
Another Facebook group, Greater Sudbury Missing Persons, is also looking into Meagan’s disappearance. The group has more than 1,400 members.
But there is another group looking into her disappearance. Please Bring Me Home is a volunteer-driven organization that is actively investigating dozens of missing persons across Canada. To date, the group said it has helped locate the remains of Nolan Panchyshyn, who went missing in December 2017 in Port Elgin, and Terry Schope, who went missing in June 2018.
Nick Oldrieve, one of the founding members of the group, said they have been looking into the Pilon case since late 2019.
“Please Bring Me Home kind of sprang up out of nowhere,” said Oldrieve in a phone interview with Sudbury.com. “We started looking at what’s really a world-wide problem, but really honed in on seven cases in southern Ontario. We felt maybe we could do something.”
