Parents Told Police Had 'Done All They Can' In First Day
- Bob and Marilyn Allore learned Teresa was missing after a week when their son Andre was told by friends and called them from school.
- The family immediately traveled to Lennoxville and were told local police already investigated 24 hours but then were dismissed and blamed Teresa.
Investigative Bias Derailed Early Leads
- Lennoxville investigators repeatedly advanced a drug-overdose/runaway theory with no evidence, influencing other agencies to avoid active investigation.
- The QPP refused to act unless there was a body, effectively stalling any cross-jurisdictional work.
Body Found In Culvert Confirmed As Teresa
- On April 14, 1979 a hunter found a woman's body in a culvert; jewelry matched items reported missing from Teresa.
- Dental records confirmed the body was Teresa, but decomposition limited autopsy clarity and police still leaned on overdose theory.
