Circumstances of Disappearance
Ethier was last seen while walking home from the Pine Street East area of New Liskeard, Ontario on September 29, 1996. The Grade 11 student at Ecole Secondaire Sainte-Marie left a friend's house in the east end of this Northern Ontario town about 2 a.m. to walk the six blocks to her home.
She was reported missing to the New Liskeard Police later that day. A large ground, air and water search of the area where she was last seen failed to yield any clues. Foul play is strongly suspected in this disappearance. Police do not believe that Melanie intended to leave the area voluntarily.
