A Mother of Five Vanished | The Shirley Duguay Story
38m | Aug 17, 2026Today we’re heading to Prince Edward Island — a place known for quiet roads, close communities… and, in this case, a story that unfolded behind the kind of normal life no one questions until it’s too late.
This is the story of Shirley Duguay.
She was 32 years old. A mother of five. And at the time of her disappearance in October 1994, she was trying to do something incredibly difficult — start over.
When her car was found abandoned on a rural road… with blood inside… it became clear very quickly that this wasn’t a simple missing person case.
What followed was months of searching, a devastating discovery, and an investigation that would quietly build into one of the most unusual forensic cases in Canadian history.
But this story isn’t about science.
It’s about a woman who was trying to move forward… and the reality that leaving a relationship is often the most dangerous time.
In this episode, we walk through Shirley’s life, her disappearance, the investigation, and the trial that followed — while keeping the focus where it belongs.
On her.
