Relatives of Montrealers had no news since several weeks already. According to the survey conducted by the australian police in Queensland, Maxime Gagnon, however, had been seen in a tourist location of the city of Cairns, in the north-east of Australia.

Disappearance Voluntary ?

Despite the anxiety of the relatives of the traveler, they knew that Maxime Gagnon had a penchant for travelling solo. They continued to believe, in November 2016, when a new search is launched in the australian media, that Maxim could have voluntarily decided to ” disappear “.

Elsewhere, the Queensland police asked the community to “back-packers to open the eye and inform the police” if they saw the Quebec. This is ultimately what happened on 9 march.

In a short dispatch, the australian police has confirmed, nearly 10 months after his disappearance, that Maxime Gagnon had been located ” safe and well “. On the side of global Affairs in Canada, it was confirmed that the disappeared is alive and well ” back in Canada “.

However, it was impossible to know the circumstances of his return to civilization or his motivations. Our interview requests to Maxime Gagnon has been refused after some hesitation. A relative has just said that he now wanted to ” be forgotten “.
