Circumstances of Disappearance
Shortly before 1 p.m. on April 24, 1980, Dupres told his mother he was going with his five-year-old friend to play next-door at his house. Dupres and his mother were both outside at the time in the small town, 251 km northwest of Edmonton. The mother took the opportunity to go back inside her home to transfer a load of laundry from the washing machine to the dryer.  About 20 minutes later, the friend showed up looking for Jeffrey.

A White female was seen leading the child into a car driven by a White male. The vehicle was described as a 1979 or 1980 model Chevrolet truck, light to dark blue in color. 
In 1999, a woman in Ontario, told officers her husband, who had lived in Slave Lake in 1980, was responsible for killing Dupres. Police investigated but were never able to gather enough evidence to make an arrest.
