Missing Quebec girl's mother makes tearful plea for help
Cédrika Provencher's mother makes her first public appeal

CBC News
The mother of missing nine-year-old Cédrika Provencher has come forward for the first time, making a tearful plea for help Monday morning at a news conference in Trois-Rivières, Que.
Karine Fortier, mother of missing child Cédrika Provencher, asked the public for help on Monday, saying, 'I'm sure it's not too late, it's not too late.'

Until now, Karine Fortier has kept out of the public eye, leaving it to her husband to speak to the press. But she spoke up on Monday, two weeks after Cédrika went missing and after police suspended their ground search on the weekend.
"I've rarely agreed to speak with the media because I don't feel at all comfortable doing this," Fortier explained in French. "I'm doing it now today to try and get things moving, we need to help my daughter, and I'm convinced that there's someone, somewhere who knows something."
Fortier thanked the public for their assistance so far in the search for her daughter, and urged people to come forward with any detail, no matter how small, saying the information could turn out to be important in moving the case forward.
"Please, please, it's absolutely essential," she said crying, adding that tips could be handled confidentially. "The objective is simply for me to find my daughter."
She described her daughter as a generous child who was ready to help her family and everyone around her.
Police issued this poster to help in the search for Cédrika. Police suspended their ground search for the girl on the weekend.

"She was always ready to help people, she was full of love, and I can't believe that there's not someone, somewhere who knows something," Fortier said. "We still have hope. I'm sure it's not too late, it's not too late."
Cédrika was last seen about 8 p.m. on July 31, not far from her home. Witnesses have said she told them she was looking for a dog, and three other young girls have since come forward to say a man approached them to help look for a lost dog.
Although police suspended their ground search on the weekend, saying they had scoured the area, volunteer searchers fanned out again on Sunday and Monday.
"We'll continue," Martin Provencher, the missing girl's father, said Sunday.
"We're trying to keep our morale up," he told the Canadian Press. "We have a lot of hope."
Celebrations at Trois-Rivières' annual family day were halted for a moment of silence on Sunday, and residents gathered for an evening march in Cédrika's honour.
There are some videos of Cedrika at 'you tube' .

Reachelle Smith , Cedrika Provencher , Tamra Keepness , Natalee Holloway,,,and more all missing .
This is not good . Something must be done , but what can we do to stop these living horrors , and find these missing kids and stop this living horror now ,
WARNING...GRAPHIC,,,WARNING..GRAPHIC...WARNING
I don't want to offend anyone but my Canada has no death penalty .The man who did the sexual 'horrors' to Jessica Lunsford including burying her alive should be terminated .
This living horror of this Man should be castrated to stop him from re-living his horrors of his sexual torture on nine year old Jessica .
But no..... instead this 100% guilty pedophile can continue to have his sexual memories of what he did to little precious Jessica whenever he wants in the comfort of his prison bed .This is not good and must be stopped . This horror of a Man has won and has got away with sexual - murder even though he got caught.
We must make these crimes punishable, and not with giving a safe place [jail] and free food and all the self- sex he wants as he uses his sexual memories of little Jessica every day in HIS sexual fantasies of her .
When will Canada stop being a haven for murderers.
l apologise if the above words has offended anyone .

Cédrika joke prompts death threats: comedian
Tue, 2008-07-22
A comedian who used the name of missing 11-year-old Cédrika Provencher in a joke at a French Just for Laughs gala a month ago says he's become the target of harassment and death threats.
Mike Ward joked that Revenue Quebec are mentalcases who would kidnap your kids if you owe them money, adding that they're the ones who took little Cédrika, who went missing from Trois Rivières almost a year ago.
The comedian says many people are judging him without ever having seen the show and heard the joke in its proper context. And now ever since the story went public, he says he's been getting death threats.
That's a bit of an overreaction, says Paul Ronca, a producer at Just for Laughs.
"I've worked with him, we worked on French Comedy *******s this year together, and I've known Mike for awhile and he's not the type of person who would intentionally hurt anybody."
And Cédrika's grandfather Henri tends to agree, saying the girl was not the butt of the joke but still adds the joke was inappropriate.
"We must respect the situation with Cédrika."
================================================== =====
CEDRIKA PROVENCHER MISSING ,
..EDITED..
MONTREAL — If tasteless jokes were off-limits, comedy shows would be very short indeed. Generally a comic can judge if he has crossed the line by the groans from the audience. But Quebec's Mike Ward is learning that sometimes the reaction can be nastier than the offending joke.
In a comedy show June 27, Ward, who performs in French, unleashed a lengthy tirade against Revenue Québec, the provincial tax-collection agency. "Revenue Québec are sick in the head," he said at one point. "You owe them eight dollars and they kidnap your children. They're the ones that have little Cédrika!"
That would be Cédrika Provencher, a 9-year-old girl who disappeared last July 31 near her home in Trois-Rivières, Que. She is still missing, and police suspect she was abducted.
Obviously, not a laughing matter. But after the Journal de Montréal and the TQS television network last week took the comedian to task for the skit, Ward has come under ferocious attack. The Journal reports that he has received death threats, and in a video posted on his web site Monday, he says he is afraid to leave his home. "Everybody is staring at me, judging me," he says. (Of course, given that he is a comedian, it is hard to know how seriously to take his story. He also jokes in the video that he is so scared of a bomb that he will not be starting his car for the next five years. "I'll ask my girlfriend, 'Hey, go start the car, just for kicks.'")
The Journal notes that on a web site dedicated to Cédrika, opinion is split roughly 50-50 on whether Ward's joke was in bad taste. Radio-Canada recently interviewed Cédrika's grandfather, who had seen a clip of the offending routine on YouTube. "It's not something malicious," Henri Provencher said. "It's simply a joke in bad taste. He could have finished the joke without naming Cédrika, and it would have been just as good."
It's sound advice for tightening up a comedy routine. That, not a lynch mob, is the proper response to a bad joke.

MONTREAL - Martin Provencher has one simple message for his 10-year-old daughter who has been missing for almost one year - "Hang on."
Even though it’s been months since investigators have brought forward any new leads, the tireless father of Cedrika Provencher hasn’t given up hope of finding her.
The young girl vanished on July 31, 2007, near her home in Trois-Rivieres, Que., after telling a woman she was helping a man look for a lost dog.
Her ever-determined father wants Cedrika to know that it’s not just her parents, but everyone, including the police, who are still on alert.
"If there’s a way to send us a signal, in whatever manner possible, she should do it," the soft-spoken Provencher said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
"I know that she’s smart and if there’s something, she could easily find a way to give us a clue."
Last month, the 36-year-old Provencher took part in another fruitless search with sniffer dogs after receiving some guidance from psychics.
The search party checked out a strip of highway near Cedrika’s hometown, which is halfway between Montreal and Quebec City.
"It was a piece of land that wasn’t done in the past," Provencher added.
He said that the search was carried out after several clairvoyants in the U.S. sent along some GPS co-ordinates.
Cedrika’s 62-year-old grandfather Henri Provencher said the family believes the girl can still be found alive.
"We are sure Cedrika is somewhere with somebody and we must find her," he said.
A special mass, followed by an outdoor candlelight procession, will be held Thursday evening at the nearby Notre-Dame-du-Cap Basilica, a popular pilgrimage shrine for Catholics.
Martin Provencher says he stays motivated by the encouragement he gets from the local residents he meets in stores who tell him not to give up.
He is also kept going by the several thousand emails and calls he has received at an old bank building which serves as his search headquarters.
"We easily get about 20 emails every day," he said. "They have come from France, Africa, Mexico and Australia."
Provencher says sometimes information comes in which is passed on to Quebec provincial police.
Posters with the missing girl’s picture also continue to appear along roads all the way down to Florida.
"A lot of truckers are still asking us for two-by-two foot posters they can put on their trailers," he said.
"I said from the beginning that we’re working to find her and that’s what we’re going to do."
The slender, ever-polite man has not been working since Cedrika’s disappearance and has only taken a few weeks off from the search to relax.
"I went camping and spent time in a chalet to rest up after what has been a tough year," he said in a lengthy interview.
A $100,000 reward for information to help track down the freckled-faced girl expired in May and despite thousands of tips, police say there have been no new developments since last fall.
In September 2007, provincial police released a description of a French-speaking man and a four-door red Acura car believed to be involved in the girl’s disappearance.
The man in his 30s had approached several girls about needing help to look for a lost dog in the two days before Cedrika vanished.
Provincial police say the car is still an important part of the investigation.
During the past year, police also have verified several reported sightings in neighbouring New Brunswick and in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region north of Quebec City.
RCMP Cpl. Marie-France Olivera, who works with the force’s National Missing Children Services, says there were 60,582 reports of missing children in 2007 but 75 per cent of them involved kids running away from home.
"Most of the runaway cases usually come back within the next 24 hours," said Olivera, whose unit acts as a clearing house for information and provides support for police forces.
But 56 cases - less than .1 per cent - were reported as kidnappings or stranger abductions of children under 18.
"Kidnapping in Canada is considered (as) anyone other than the parents or legal guardian," she said.
"But that could be a grandmother, it could be a friend, it could be somebody known the family."
Alberta and Ontario each had 17 stranger abductions last year, the highest among all the provinces and territories in Canada.
But Olivera pointed out that the two provinces also have large populations.
B.C., Saskatchewan and Quebec, followed with five kidnappings each.
Olivera said the statistics indicated that, in most cases, more females than males were targeted.
"It appears females seem to be more of a target simply because, if it’s a total stranger, the motivation for taking a child, especially a female child, will be for sexual gratification," she added.
Olivera said U.S. statistics reveal the females who are kidnapped are usually between 10 and 12 years of age.
Pina Arcamone, who runs Quebec’s Missing Children’s Network, insists Cedrika has not been forgotten and the case will remain active until she is found.
"People are still extremely, extremely troubled by the fact that this little girl has disappeared without leaving a trace," she said in an interview.
Arcamone also said Provencher was in the final stages of putting together the paperwork to set up a foundation in Cedrika’s name.
She has been in touch with Cedrika’s father and the family, sending them emails "a couple of times a month."
"They’re very, very tired at this point, emotionally exhausted from this experience and all the dead-ends that have come up," she said.
"But they’re not ready to give up."

LA PRESSE CANADIENNE
MONTREAL - Martin Provencher a un simple message pour sa fille âgée de 10 ans disparue depuis près d'un an: "tiens bon".
Même si les enquêteurs n'ont pas trouvé de nouvelles pistes depuis plusieurs mois, le père de la petite Cédrika n'a pas perdu espoir de retrouver sa fille.
Cédrika Provencher est disparue le 31 juillet 2007, près de sa résidence à Trois-Rivières, après avoir dit à une femme qu'elle aidait un homme à retrouver un chien perdu.
Martin Provencher, toujours aussi déterminé, veut que sa fille sache que ce n'est pas uniquement ses parents qui sont en état d'alerte, mais aussi toute la population, y compris la police.
"S'il y a un moyen de nous faire un signe, qu'elle le fasse, de n'importe quelle manière, a dit Martin Provencher lors d'une entrevue avec La Presse Canadienne. Je sais qu'elle est intuitive. S'il y a quelque chose, elle peut facilement trouver une manière de nous donner un indice."
Le mois dernier, la père de Cédrika a participé à une opération de recherche à l'aide de maîtres-chiens, à partir d'informations et de signaux de système de localisation GPS obtenus de voyants aux Etats-Unis.
Mais ces recherches, effectuées sur des terrains en bordure d'une autoroute près de Trois-Rivières qui n'avaient pas encore été inspectés, se sont avérées infructueuses.
Martin Provencher a expliqué qu'il tenait sa motivation des encouragements qu'il recevait de la part des résidants locaux qu'il rencontre, et des milliers de courriels et d'appels téléphoniques qu'il reçoit au local lui servant de quartier général pour ses recherches.
"Nous recevons facilement 20 courriels chaque jour, a-t-il expliqué. Ils proviennent de la France, de l'Afrique, du Mexique et de l'Australie."
Le père de Cédrika a dit parfois obtenir certaines informations qu'il transmet immédiatement aux autorités policières.
Des panneaux avec une photo de Cédrika continuent d'apparaître le long des autoroutes jusqu'en Floride et beaucoup de camionneurs demandent encore des affiches qu'ils placent sur leurs remorques, a-t-il indiqué.
"J'ai dit depuis le début que nous allions travailler pour la retrouver et c'est ce que nous allons faire", a-t-il ajouté.
Se consacrant à temps plein afin de retrouver sa fille, Martin Provencher n'a toujours pas repris son emploi.
Une messe spéciale, suivie d'une marche à la chandelle, aura lieu jeudi à 20 heures au Sanctuaire Notre-Dame-du-Cap, à Trois-Rivières, un important lieu de pèlerinage catholique. "<--

Bumping post to get beyond posted sick porn.
Hi Its just me .
Just now l saw my email with the 'porn thing' including photo of a naked young girl . I assume it was on this Thread but has since been deleted of course . I however still have it and l will notify and send it to the Quebec Authorities asap .
This is not funny and whoever sent that is not nice . If the young girl in the photo is missing then the photo may be an asset to the ones looking for Cedrika .
This disgusting event of placing a photo of a naked young girl in this Thread may be a mistake by some over -producing marketing employee for the porn origin or whatever, but l surely didn't expect this in my email just now . l hope it helps the Authorities find Cedrika and the girl in the photo .
Just now when l went to my junk mail , where the photo was sent, l noticed that it vanished and is gone however , l did manage to keep the photo before it vanished with the original email . So whatever , but the 'IP' address is still around for the Police to check out .
So accident or not ,placing a photo of a young girl,, in obvious young and even pre-teen status , and placing it here in this Thread that l started ,is not accepted and an apology is due and worthy of the sender . This would help and ease the hurt this sender of the photo has caused to Cedrika's family who are already hurting so much .
The photo l am speaking of , for those who did not see it here , is of a young girl in cut -off blue jeans and a pink shirt . Her shirt is pulled up but not revealing any details . Her shorts are open at the zipper and pulled open to show her lower abdomen showing a young girl in pre-teen or very early teen . Her head and feet are cut off from the photo and not seen and only the front of her standing in front of a white screen or cloth focusing on her puberty type lower abd and chest is shown as to not reveal who this person is .
Another day in the life of this craziness and it never stops . We must not stop looking for these innocent missing children .
God Bless you Cedrika , your Father is looking for you .

TROIS RIVIÈRES - As Martin Provencher walks down the street, a woman calls out to him from her apartment balcony: "All our prayers are with you. We wish you the best of luck."
A year after his daughter disappeared, Provencher says, so many strangers wish him well, it can take him a half-hour to go and buy a carton of milk.
"People stop me all the time," he said. "It doesn't matter where I go, people want to send good wishes. I think it helps me. I can't really get upset about people trying to cheer me up."
Today marks one year since Martin's daughter, Cédrika Provencher, vanished from Trois Rivières, about 150 kilometres northeast of Montreal. She was 9 years old at the time.
A mass is to be held tonight at 8 o'clock at Église Notre Dame du Cap in Trois Rivières. Thousands of well-wishers are expected to attend.
Provencher says some people still call with tips about Cédrika's disappearance. Thousands of others around the world have sent their support, either through websites set up by the family and others, or by mail. Many of the letters adorn the walls of the Cédrika Provencher search headquarters, a donated office in downtown Trois Rivières, where family members go every day to work on the case.
But after a year-long investigation, it seems little new information is known about Cédrika's whereabouts.
She was last seen on Chapais St. near des Chenaux Blvd., in a residential neighbourhood of Trois Rivières, about 8:30 p.m. She was alone on her bicycle, apparently searching for a small black and white dog. Provincial police believe a man approached her and asked if she could help him find a missing dog.
The man was described as white, with brown hair, age 30 to 40. He was driving a red four-door Acura with a beige interior, chrome door handles, manual transmission and untinted windows. He was wearing Bermuda shorts, a short-sleeved shirt and sandals.
Cédrika's bicycle was found a few blocks away, propped up against a fire hydrant.
In the days after her disappearance, thousands of volunteers and about 50 police officers combed the city, nearby woods and the St. Maurice River.
Police received 15,000 calls regarding her disappearance, resulting in 4,000 tips.
While the police investigation has been scaled back and calls are no longer flooding in, the case remains open.
In recent months, Martin Provencher has travelled across Quebec, to nearby New Brunswick and even into the United States to investigate clues.
"We're all doing this full time," said Henri Provencher, Cédrika's grandfather. "We still have a lot of information coming in and people who give us possible scenarios to check. We have enough for at least the next few months, and we get new information every day.
"We treat this as a job. We have to. Otherwise, we just get too sad thinking about Cédrika."
The public's support has helped the family maintain hope, he said.
"We're pretty much certain she's still alive, and that we're going to find her," Provencher said. "Of course, we have considered the possibility (she is dead). But we feel in our hearts that she is alive and she will come back to us soon."
Police say they, too, are optimistic.
"Investigators are confident they will find her," Lt. François Doré, head of the Sûreté du Québec's media relations department, said yesterday. "We're potentially one piece of information away from finding her."
He said police don't intend to transfer the case to the unsolved crimes division, because there are still many leads to follow. A $100,000 reward offered by anonymous donors for information was withdrawn by police in May, however.
Doré acknowledged there is no way for police to tell if Cédrika is alive. "We have no facts or proof about what condition she may be in," he said.
Pina Arcamone, executive director of the Missing Children's Network in Quebec, said she also continues to get calls about Cédrika.
"Lately, we haven't had any official sightings," she said. "Most of the calls that have come lately are from psychics, or from people who have had very vivid dreams, saying they felt they had psychic connections to her."
The tremendous public sympathy expressed for Cédrika is typical of child abduction cases, Arcamone said.
"They become everybody's niece or daughter or next-door neighbour, and if the situation was reversed, you would want everybody to be turning over every stone possible and checking every alley to make sure your child is found," she said.
"I think no one is indifferent to the plight of a child, especially when we know time is a factor in those types of situations."
With Cédrika's case still garnering a lot of media attention, it will be difficult for her kidnappers to go anywhere without being spotted, Henri Provencher says.
"The person or people who did this must be tired and searching for a way for it to be over. They can call the phone numbers of the family, or police. They can leave her in a crowd, and I think she's capable enough to find us or to get help."
Anyone with information about Cédrika's disappearance is asked to call the SQ at 1-800-659-4264.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR PART-TIME VOLUNTEERS
TO HELP FIND CÉDRIKA.
For more than a year now, Cédrika’s family has been searching tirelessly for her.
Hundreds of pieces of information have been transmitted to us, and we receive additional clues every day. The variety in these reports send us to the four corners of the country. It is impossible to be everywhere at once and to look into every detail without wasting countless hours travelling from one place to the other.
Since Cédrika’s disappearance, many people have shown their sympathy to the cause and their eagerness to help. Many citizens have become involved, each volunteering in his or her own way.
The Provencher family has re-organized its system of carrying on their search, and we need occasional help from people who are willing to follow up on information pertinent to their own region, village, town or sector. If you have friends or contacts outside the province or country, they are welcome to join in. With this kind of help, we will see a snowball effect with rapid checks and increased efficiency which will give us a better chance of finding Cédrika.
Any interested person may contact us quickly and in total confidentiality:
by e-mail cedrikapro@hotmail.com
by telephone (819) 840-8510
by mail C.P 1213
Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada
G9A 5K8
Please identify yourself by giving your complete name, your full address, your age, your telephone number, as well as how you think you can help us. We need to know what your availability is and how you would travel to verify a piece of information.
Maybe you will be called upon several times for help, maybe only once, or maybe not at all. Whatever the case, your willingness to help would be greatly appreciated. The whole family would be reassured to know there are people out there who we can count on. It goes without saying that you are completely free to either accept or refuse any request we may make of you. .
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

When all the world was dark
Now dark again they are not found
Stolen out of innocence
A crime of man undone.

To rise again on morrow
To bring life ruach
The new day's promise begun.

THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - Martin Provencher has one simple message for his 10-year-old daughter who has been missing for almost one year - "Hang on."
Even though it's been months since investigators have brought forward any new leads, the tireless father of Cedrika Provencher hasn't given up hope of finding her.
The young girl vanished on July 31, 2007, near her home in Trois-Rivieres, Que., after telling a woman she was helping a man look for a lost dog.
Her ever-determined father wants Cedrika to know that it's not just her parents, but everyone, including the police, who are still on alert.
"If there's a way to send us a signal, in whatever manner possible, she should do it," the soft-spoken Provencher said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
"I know that she's smart and if there's something, she could easily find a way to give us a clue."
Last month, the 36-year-old Provencher took part in another fruitless search with sniffer dogs after receiving some guidance from psychics.
The search party checked out a strip of highway near Cedrika's hometown, which is halfway between Montreal and Quebec City.
"It was a piece of land that wasn't done in the past," Provencher added.
He said that the search was carried out after several clairvoyants in the U.S. sent along some GPS co-ordinates.
Cedrika's 62-year-old grandfather Henri Provencher said the family believes the girl can still be found alive.
"We are sure Cedrika is somewhere with somebody and we must find her," he said.
A special mass, followed by an outdoor candlelight procession, will be held Thursday evening at the nearby Notre-Dame-du-Cap Basilica, a popular pilgrimage shrine for Catholics.
Martin Provencher says he stays motivated by the encouragement he gets from the local residents he meets in stores who tell him not to give up.
He is also kept going by the several thousand emails and calls he has received at an old bank building which serves as his search headquarters.
"We easily get about 20 emails every day," he said. "They have come from France, Africa, Mexico and Australia."
Provencher says sometimes information comes in which is passed on to Quebec provincial police.
Posters with the missing girl's picture also continue to appear along roads all the way down to Florida.
"A lot of truckers are still asking us for two-by-two foot posters they can put on their trailers," he said.
"I said from the beginning that we're working to find her and that's what we're going to do."
The slender, ever-polite man has not been working since Cedrika's disappearance and has only taken a few weeks off from the search to relax.
"I went camping and spent time in a chalet to rest up after what has been a tough year," he said in a lengthy interview.
A $100,000 reward for information to help track down the freckled-faced girl expired in May and despite thousands of tips, police say there have been no new developments since last fall.
In September 2007, provincial police released a description of a French-speaking man and a four-door red Acura car believed to be involved in the girl's disappearance.
The man in his 30s had approached several girls about needing help to look for a lost dog in the two days before Cedrika vanished.
Provincial police say the car is still an important part of the investigation.
During the past year, police also have verified several reported sightings in neighbouring New Brunswick and in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region north of Quebec City.
RCMP Cpl. Marie-France Olivera, who works with the force's National Missing Children Services, says there were 60,582 reports of missing children in 2007 but 75 per cent of them involved kids running away from home.
"Most of the runaway cases usually come back within the next 24 hours," said Olivera, whose unit acts as a clearing house for information and provides support for police forces.
But 56 cases - less than .1 per cent - were reported as kidnappings or stranger abductions of children under 18.
"Kidnapping in Canada is considered (as) anyone other than the parents or legal guardian," she said.
"But that could be a grandmother, it could be a friend, it could be somebody known the family."
Alberta and Ontario each had 17 stranger abductions last year, the highest among all the provinces and territories in Canada.
But Olivera pointed out that the two provinces also have large populations.
B.C., Saskatchewan and Quebec, followed with five kidnappings each.
Olivera said the statistics indicated that, in most cases, more females than males were targeted.
"It appears females seem to be more of a target simply because, if it's a total stranger, the motivation for taking a child, especially a female child, will be for sexual gratification," she added.
Olivera said U.S. statistics reveal the females who are kidnapped are usually between 10 and 12 years of age.
Pina Arcamone, who runs Quebec's Missing Children's Network, insists Cedrika has not been forgotten and the case will remain active until she is found.
"People are still extremely, extremely troubled by the fact that this little girl has disappeared without leaving a trace," she said in an interview.
Arcamone also said Provencher was in the final stages of putting together the paperwork to set up a foundation in Cedrika's name.
She has been in touch with Cedrika's father and the family, sending them emails "a couple of times a month."
"They're very, very tired at this point, emotionally exhausted from this experience and all the dead-ends that have come up," she said.
"But they're not ready to give up."

TROIS-RIVIERES, Que. -- The father of 10-year-old Cedrika Provencher said the release by investigators of a description of the car and of the man they believe abducted his daughter five weeks ago has given him new hope she may yet be found alive.
"It gives us a bit of a lift, because it's the first concrete information we have had since the beginning," Martin Provencher told reporters Thursday.
Surete du Quebec officials revealed Thursday they believe Cedrika was abducted by a white, French-speaking man, between 30 and 40 years of age, average height, with brown hair, and wearing bermuda shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and sandals.
Cedrika Provencher went missing from Trois Rivieres on July 31.
He was driving a red, four-door Acura with a beige interior, chrome door handles, manual transmission, and untinted windows. Police believe the car was a 2002 to 2004 model.
Police would not reveal who gave them these descriptions or when, but other details of the investigation released Thursday suggest much of the information has been provided by one or more children who may have been close enough to the abductor to see the interior of the car.
SQ Lieutenant Francois Dore said about 50 police officials have sifted through more than 4,000 tips and they believe the descriptions released Thursday are based on solid information.
"Each of the tips we received were verified, and most of these tips lead to nothing," Dore said. "If after five weeks of investigation we were not sure what we were releasing today, we would not be giving it to you."
He dismissed other conflicting descriptions of the car and suspect, including a supposed spotting of Cedrika earlier this week in a Ford Aerostar minivan in Montreal, as unfounded.
Dore said the suspect had approached several young girls in a park in Cedrika's neighbourhood on Sunday July 29th, and again on Monday July 30th, telling them in French that he was looking for a small, black and white dog.
On July 31st, the evening she disappeared, Cedrika was spotted several times by witnesses who told police she was looking for a lost dog. She was last seen at 8:27 p.m., alone and with her bike.
At 8:30 p.m., police say some children found Cedrika's bike, carefully propped against a fire hydrant. All of these events took place just blocks from Cedrika's home and from the park where the suspect had been spotted two days earlier.

Girl missing in Trois Rivieres
The Gazette
Published: 1 hour ago
A major search operation is underway in Trois Rivieres today as police and volunteers continue to look for a 9-year-old girl who went missing last night.
Cedrika Provencher was last seen about 8 p.m. by one of her neighbours. Before she disappeared, she had been looking for a missing dog, according to Trois Rivieres police Constable Michel Letartre.
Her parents had expected her home by 8:30. When she didn't arrive, they became worried and called police.
A canine unit and helicopter joined the search, and a force of about 40 police officers and 10 volunteers are scouring the neighbourhood today in hopes of finding her.
Cedrika is white and has curly red hair down to her shoulders. When she disappeared, she was wearing a green skirt and sandals, and was riding a grey and white Norco bicycle.
Anyone with information is asked to call Trois Rivieres police immediately at: 819-691-2929.

B.C. father foils brazen midday abduction attempt on son
September 17, 2008
The 15-month-old boy was playing near a splash pad in Kamloops's popular downtown riverside park. It was around noon on an unusually warm September day, with the temperature soaring to 27 degrees. Lots of people were milling about, enjoying the sunshine. His father was only 30 metres away.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a red shirt scooped up the child and bolted away.
The father ran after him, catching up to the stranger and tackling him. The father grabbed his boy, who was not injured. The stranger with short black hair escaped, his face injured, police said.
Yesterday, as many as 10 police officers were following up information on the attempted abduction Monday, RCMP Sergeant Scott Wilson said in an interview. "We want to find out who this person is and we want to deal with him,
Sgt. Wilson said police were not aware of any custody issues and do not believe the attempted abduction was related to a child-custody dispute.
"It appears this is somebody who did not know the family, came along, grabbed the kid and ran. ... This male was unknown to the father and unknown to the boy."
--->Police described the man as around 45 years old and weighing about 250 pounds.
An abduction of a child by a stranger is an extremely rare occurrence, Sgt. Wilson said, and he did not want to send shock waves through the community.
"But at the same time it did happen," he said. "It's very scary for any parent ... This type of thing is always in the back of a parent's mind."
Mayor Terry Lake said he could not recall another attempted kidnapping of a child in Kamloops.
"This is a very isolated incident. It does not reflect on the community at all," he said. "When something like this happens, it makes all of us as parents become more cautious and more fearful. But you have to keep it in perspective."
Two or three children are abducted by strangers every year in Canada, according to statistics compiled from police reports.
Last year, 285 children were abducted by a parent and 56 were taken by relatives, friends or strangers. Only one of the 56 children - Cédrika Provencher of Trois Rivières, Que. - was still missing in January, 2008.
The number of abductions in Canada by relatives, friends and strangers has fluctuated: There were 60 in 1997 and 30 in 2005.
The Kamloops incident reflects a trend noted in a study of baby abductions by strangers published this month in the American Journal of Nursing: With increased security at hospitals in recent years, strangers are targeting infants in private homes or in shopping malls, parking lots and other public places.
The study, headed by Ann Wolbert, professor in the department of psychiatric nursing at the William F. Connell School of Nursing at Boston College, reviewed 247 infant abductions by non-family members in the United States from 1983 to 2006.
Comparing statistics from the first 10 years to the next 13 years, the researchers found significant differences in abduction patterns. Abductions in public places tripled; those from private homes nearly doubled. Meanwhile, infant abductions from health-care facilities dropped by nearly 50 per cent.
In Canada, more than half of the 56 children abducted last year by friends, relatives or strangers disappeared from their homes.
Riverside Park is the premier green space in Kamloops, with tennis courts, a band shell, concession stands and playgrounds stretching along the South Thompson River. Although the city has some issues with homeless people in the park, it is considered a safe place to take children.
However, parents must still watch their children at all times, Sgt. Wilson said. Older children can be taught to be wary of strangers, but a 15-month-old will not perceive any danger, he said.

Police in Fredericton, N.B. searched the provincial capital for any sign of a missing 10-year-old Quebec girl Saturday after receiving a tip that Cedrika Provencher had been spotted.
A woman told Fredericton police she saw a girl who resembled Cedrika get out of a light-grey minivan that had Quebec plates.
"There was a lady who was a little suspicious of this male and female,'' said Fredericton Police Force spokesman Const. Ralph Currie on Saturday
The witness told police the girl was with a "petite" man about 40 years old, and the two walked to a local shopping mall, Currie told The Canadian Press.
"We can't disassociate this grey van with Quebec plates, but nor can we confirm whether this was absolutely, positively the young girl in question,'' Currie told CP in a telephone interview from Fredericton.
As police investigated the tip, however, it began to seem less likely that the girl in question was Cedrika. Currie said a follow-up interview with the woman revealed she had not seen a picture of the missing girl prior to the sighting. And the girl described by the witness had little in common with Cedrika, Currie said.
"I spoke with the lady myself . . . and there's not a lot striking there, but it's certainly something that we've been following up on,'' he said.
The witness was a woman in her late 60s.
She called police about 10 minutes after the sighting, and officers arrived on the scene soon after, but the van and its occupants were gone by the time police arrived.
"If this van is still in the area, we would certainly see it,'' Currie said.
Recently, Quebec police released descriptions of a car and man they believe are connected to the disappearance of the girl, giving her father hope that his daughter may be found.
"We're talking about something concrete," Martin Provencher told reporters on Thursday. "It gives me hope. It's progressing."
Police have told the public to be on the lookout for a white man with brown hair who has access to a red four-door Acura, likely manufactured between 2002 and 2004.
"This man could be your son, your brother, your uncle, your father," police spokesperson Sgt. Francois Dore told a press conference.
Police said they have received 4,000 tips since Cedrika went missing five weeks ago during a bike ride not far from her Trois-Rivieres home.
They said they will need more detailed information before they put out a composite sketch of the suspect. However, police were able to give the public some details about who they are looking for.
The man is described as:
---> 30 to 40 years old
White male with light brown hair
Medium build and average height
French-speaking
Wearing sandals, Bermuda shorts and a short-sleeved T-shirt the day Cedrika went missing
The car is described as a four-door red Acura with a beige interior and chrome door handles.
Police warned the public that the man may have altered his appearance or changed his car since he was last seen. Nonetheless, they said they have warned border authorities throughout Canada and the United States.
Cedrika went missing July 31 around 8:30 p.m. Neighbours told police the little girl asked them for help looking for a lost dog that didn't belong to her.
After she went missing, several other young girls told police they too had been approached by a man asking them for help finding his lost puppy.
At the news conference, police told reporters they didn't release the descriptions earlier because they had to be "very sure" about what they were looking for.
Investigators repeated that they believe Cedrika is still alive because they have no information telling them otherwise.

A girl matching the description of missing nine-year-old Cédrika Provencher was seen in a Gaspé-area restaurant about five days after she disappeared from Trois-Rivières, police say.
Provincial police said Thursday witnesses told them the girl was with a man in Chandler, Que., on the Gaspé Peninsula.
A poster for missing nine-year-old girl Cédrika Provencher has produced thousands of tips from the public.
(CP) The witnesses told police she was wearing oversized clothing and appeared timid.
They also said the relationship between the girl and the man seemed frosty, and the man appeared to be acting strangely.
However, police received the information about three hours after the two were seen. They set up roadblocks in the area, but didn't find anything.
This tip appeared to police to be more precise and credible than other information they have been receiving.
Investigators have been chasing down thousands of leads since Cédrika disappeared July 31.
Among those leads was the information that Cédrika had told people she was helping someone find a lost dog just before she disappeared.
Since then, four children have come forward with a description of a man they said was asking them to help him find a lost dog. Investigators are working to produce an artist's sketch of the man.
Police suspended their ground search for Cédrika Aug. 12, but continue to check out tips they receive from the public.

TROIS RIVIERES - Cedrika Provencher isn't the type of child to play runaway.
"If she was a few minutes late, she would call," Henri Provencher said Wednesday of the granddaughter he characterized as "an angel."
But on Tuesday, Cedrika, a red-haired nine-year-old with a full, bright smile, never called and never came back to her home in Trois RivieQue. Police immediately started to search for her after the girl's mother called and reported her missing. The hunt for Cedrika is to resume Thursday morning after it was suspended at nightfall Wednesday.
Surete du Quebec helicopters arrived on the scene Tuesday to help look for the girl. Search dogs combed a nearby forest where Cedrika would sometimes play.
Nearly 50 police officers and 175 volunteers came out Wednesday to help with the search, which covered about a one-kilometre radius from where the girl was last seen.
Their efforts have turned up little evidence of where Cedrika might be.
The only sign of the girl Wednesday came when police discovered her abandoned bike next to a trash container near an apartment building about 1 1/2 kilometres from where she was last seen.
Neighbours told police a group of youths, not Cedrika, had left the silver and blue mountain bike there. Police have not identified the members of this group.
Cedrika is white, five feet tall and 30 kilograms. She has brown eyes, and was wearing a green skirt and flip-flop sandals when she disappeared.
Two women reported seeing Cedrika riding around the neighbourhood on two occasions between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday, said Sgt. Michel Letarte, a Trois Rivieres police spokesman.
She stopped to ask them both if they had seen a little black dog.
Cedrika doesn't own a dog, and Letarte said one question police were asking themselves Wednesday was why the girl might be looking for the animal.
But Martin Provencher, Cedrika's father, said if someone had asked his daughter to help search for a lost pet, she would have obliged.
"If someone needed help, she would help them. She talked a lot and wasn't shy," he added, his eyes bloodshot.
Less than 24 hours after she was reported missing, Cedrika's picture was plastered in many store windows in the northern part of Trois Rivieres.
Cedrika's family has not given up.
"I'm sincerely not trying to imagine any scenarios," her father said. "I'm waiting, like everyone, to see what happens in the next little while. I still have a lot of hope we will find her."

Canadian Press
TROIS-RIVIERES, Que. – They come for all manner of reasons – some with concrete clues about the freckled nine-year-old girl's whereabouts, others with nothing more than a hunch.
But still they come.
Almost one month after Cedrika Provencher disappeared, a mobile police command centre parked outside a strip mall in Trois-Rivieres continues to receive a steady flow of tipsters.
"I couldn't sleep," one woman says as she leaves the command centre after telling police about a mysterious car she spotted near a golf course. "The car just struck me as strange."
Information such as this makes up the bulk of the 3,000 tips police have received so far in the case. Yet among the tips they got last week were several credible sightings of Cedrika with a man in eastern Quebec's Gaspe region.
Police say witnesses have told them the girl was helping a man look for a lost dog.
Between 40 and 50 police investigators – up from 15 over the weekend – will be working the case on Monday, the French-language newspaper Le Nouvelliste reported.
The increase is needed to cover an anticipated jump in the workload, said provincial police spokesman Francois Dore, who declined to discuss details of the boost.
The news has breathed new hope into a case that is costing other youngsters their innocence and freedom in this city, midway between Montreal and Quebec City.
Playgrounds in Trois-Rivieres are barren despite the summer vacation winding down, and when schoolchildren return to classes later this week they will be met by psychologists and child safety videos.
"It's an event that has taken on national proportions," says Michel Morin, the head of the local school board. "It has created an effect of insecurity."
That feeling of insecurity is perhaps felt most by parents, many of whom admit their perceptions have changed since Cedrika vanished on July 31 after she didn't come home from a bike ride.
"I'm worried all the time," said Chantal Migneault while shopping for school supplies with her 11-year-old daughter. "Every time my little one goes out I tell her to run away screaming if someone approaches you."
Her daughter, Marie-Pierre Boisvert, confirms that a palpable fear has also taken hold of many her age.
"I told my Mom that I was scared that if they don't catch him (Cedrika's suspected abductor), he'll get me," she says.
However Cedrika's father, Martin Provencher, hopes the playgrounds of Trois-Rivieres don't stay empty for too long. He underlines the importance of parents letting their children have fun despite the circumstances.
"We can't avoid going out, we just have to be more vigilant," he says from the old bank his family is using to co-ordinate a massive search effort that parallels the police investigation.
"We have to use this opportunity to make children aware of what can happen."
Provencher has been tireless in his efforts to keep his daughter's case in the public's eye. He works between 15- and 20-hour days participating in and co-ordinating local searches for Cedrika.
The case has been an emotional roller-coaster for his family. Clothes found in a wooded area eventually turned out not to be Cedrika's; police were criticized for not circulating her picture at U.S. border points; there were rumours that a couple may have been behind her abduction.
But Provencher's relentless optimism through it all appeared to be finally justified with reports that she was seen alive.
"Since the beginning everyone has held onto the hope of finding her alive, so it's good to finally hear some good news," he says as the children of search volunteers play among a litany of topographical maps.
Police say witnesses in the Gaspe had spotted Cedrika in a restaurant with a man but waited a day before reporting the sighting to authorities.
The residents of Trois-Rivieres – sleepless, anxious – are unlikely to show the same hesitation.
"Let's hope it comes to something," says the woman behind the mysterious car tip.
Her car has a poster of Cedrika's smiling face taped to the back window.

A 12-year-old girl says a man tried to abduct her in this Scenic Acres greenspace. (CBC)Community leaders in northwest Calgary are considering increased security after a man allegedly tried to abduct a 12-year-old child during an outdoor movie screening that drew nearly 2,000 people to a greenspace in Scenic Acres.
Police are looking for a suspect described as a dark man around 50 to 60 years old and between six foot three inches and six foot six inches.
The alleged abduction attempt on Scenic Acres Drive N.W. has left the people behind the community association looking to beef up security at future events, if they hold them at all.
"We'll look at all avenues and see what we can do, and we won't put on an event if it's not safe," said Ruth Sorrentino on Tuesday. "Hopefully the police, you know, can work with us so they can provide more of a police presence."
She is also considering increasing the number of on-site volunteers to keep an eye on the crowd.
On Saturday night close to 2,000 people were watching a movie in the park, the third time the community association has held the event. A 12-year-old girl told police a man tried to throw her over his shoulder and carry her to his van, but she kicked and screamed, getting away.
One parent said she still questions why it took police almost two days to release the description of the suspect.
"I wish I just had known before, so I could talk could to the kids about it and make sure that they know that they are to kick and scream and yell and do what they need to do to get away," said Tamara Flegel, who has an 11-year-old daughter.

Man sought in sexual assaults, attempted abductions, in two Alta. towns
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Thursday, 11 September 2008
HINTON, Alta. - Police are looking for a man wanted in a series of sexual assaults and attempted abductions in two western Alberta towns on the same day.
RCMP say three women were sexually assaulted in separate incidents at two Wal-Mart stores in Hinton and Edson on Monday. Investigators believe the same man was responsible for all of the attacks.
They also think the same person is connected to the attempted luring of two teenage girls and the attempted abduction of a seven-year-old girl in the Hinton area.
The child was lured into a vehicle but was able to escape unharmed a short time later.
The man is believed to be driving an dark-coloured, customized Dodge Dakota truck with a B-C licence.
The search for Cedrika continues .
The Quebec Police and others have worked very hard in their effort to locate Cedrika Provencher , missing now for over one year .
There is a TIP that has been presented and it is being followed through on now.
The abductor should come-forth now ,, and let us know where Cedrika can be located . This is not too much to ask . This very ill person needs help now , and will receive much help .
Even an abductor must have a heart l assume and finding a way to let us know where Cedrika can be found would be the right and appropriate thing to do and put closure to this now .

Cedrika Provencher went missing Tuesday night July 31 in Trois-Rivieres, a community located halfway between Montreal and Quebec City.
Sûreté du Québec officials said they believe Cédrika was abducted by a white, French-speaking man, between 30 and 40 years of age. The man was of average height and had brown hair. He was wearing Bermuda shorts, a short-sleeved shirt and sandals.
He was driving a red four-door Acura with a beige interior, chrome door handles, manual transmission and untinted windows, provincial police said. They speculate the car was a 2002 to 2004 model.
Police would not reveal who gave them these descriptions or when, but other details of the investigation released yesterday suggest much of the information has been provided by children who may have been close enough to the abductor to see the interior of the car.
About 50 police officers have sifted through more than 4,000 tips, SQ Lt. François Doré said, and they believe the descriptions released yesterday are based on solid information.
The suspect had approached several girls at Chapais Park in Cédrika's neighbourhood in the two days before she disappeared, telling them he was looking for a small black and white dog.On the evening of July 31, Cédrika was spotted several times, looking for a little dog. The red car was seen parked in an odd fashion, about a metre away from the curb, near a wooded area. The suspect got out of the car and walked toward a building beside the trees. He was later seen coming out of the woods about the same time as two girls, one fitting Cédrika's description, emerged from there. The suspect spoke to the girls at this time.
About 45 minutes later, Cédrika was spotted alone with her bicycle, still looking for the dog.
The girl was last seen at 8:27 p.m., still alone and still with her bike. At 8:30 p.m., some neighbourhood kids found Cédrika's bike, carefully propped against a fire hydrant. All of these events took place just blocks from Cédrika's home and from the park where the suspect had been first spotted two days earlier. The fact the suspect approached other children in the park supports the theory the suspect is a sexual predator.
For those that do not know Quebec borders with New Brunswick, Ontario, Vermont and Maine. The border particularly in Stanstead Que to Vermont is really weak and easy to cross. So if you live, work or travel in these areas please keep your eyes open.
SQ timeline - describing what it believes occurred before disappearance of Cédrika Provencher
Sunday, July 29: Several girls playing in Chapais Park, in a residential area of Trois Rivières, are approached by a white man, age 30 to 40, with brown hair.He tells them, in French, that he is looking for a small black and white dog.
Monday, July 30: The same man approaches girls playing in the same park, again asking for help in his search for a dog. (One girl had been at the park the night before when the man approached her and others. None of this was reported to police until after Cédrika vanished.)
Tuesday, July 31: Between 6 and 6:15 p.m., Cédrika leaves her house to go play with a friend on nearby René Matteau Place. They go to a wooded area on that street, situated between an apartment building and a single-family home. The woods, about two blocks from Chapais Park, descend into a small ravine, where the trees and underbrush are quite dense.
7:15 p.m.: A red, four-door Acura parks on René Matteau Place near this same wooded area. The car is parked oddly, more than a metre from the curb. A white man with brown hair, age 30 to 40, wearing Bermuda shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, gets out of the car and walks toward a nearby apartment building. A few minutes later, the man is seen walking out of the woods, about the same time as the two girls are walking out.
One of the girls matches Cédrika's description. (At this point, police believe, Cédrika is already engaged in the search for a little black and white dog.
8 p.m.: Cédrika is seen a few blocks from the wooded area, near the corner of des Chenaux Blvd. and Chapais St. At this point, she is alone with her bicycle, and she is looking for a little dog.
8:27: Cédrika is seen again at a different location on Chapais St., still looking for a dog. This is the last time she is seen.
8:30: Cédrika's bicycle is found by children a few blocks away, leaning against a fire hydrant at the corner of Chabanel and Chapais Sts.
Investigators speculate Cédrika was abducted between 8:27 and 8:30 p.m. at or near this location.
All these events took place within 500 metres of Cédrika's home.

Family torn, but hope alive long after Quebec girl vanishes.
A thick coat of snow covers the neighbourhood where Cédrika Provencher was last seen nearly five months ago.
Kiddie swimming pools in front yards have given way to snowmen as faded posters of the little Quebec girl flap in the wind on the few mailboxes and street lamps where they remain.
While Quebec provincial police are reportedly zeroing in on five possible suspects, including some with a history of sexual crimes, there have been no traces of the freckle-faced brunette and no confirmed sightings of her since her July 31 disappearance.
Cédrika's 10th birthday passed in August without any developments, and her grandfather has been dreading the holiday season without her.
"For Karine, for Martin, it's going to be terrible," says Henri Provencher, referring to the girl's mother, Karine Fortier, and her father, Martin Provencher. The two are separated.
"It's terrible for all of us."
There is a huge hole in their lives, Henri Provencher says. He is sitting in the second-floor search headquarters where he, his wife and his son work full-time on their efforts to find Cédrika.
Dozens of handwritten notes of support are taped to the walls of the rundown office located above an abandoned restaurant. Hundreds more e-mails have come in from all over the world.
"Come back to us," wrote Antony in childish scrawl on a piece of paper decorated with roses.
The little girl's face peers out from T-shirts and coffee cups the family is selling to raise money for their search.
Stacks of posters recount the details of the little girl lost: five feet tall, 70 pounds, brown eyes, last seen wearing a green summer dress over a red swimsuit.
Cédrika disappeared not far from her home in a quiet neighbourhood in Trois-Rivières, 140 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
Witnesses have said she told them she was helping a man look for a lost dog. She never made it home again.
Thousands of tips followed up
Police, bolstered by hundreds of volunteers, combed alleys and woods for weeks in the picturesque town along the St. Lawrence River. They chased thousands of tips and followed up reported sightings from Calgary to Fredericton, to no avail.
One reported sighting after another was discounted by police.
Cédrika's father has undergone a lie detector test and police have checked up on more than 80 known pedophiles living in the area.
"Losing a child is terrible, not knowing where your child is," said Martin Provencher. "But no matter what I'm going through, what she's going through is worse."
Both he and Fortier have made several emotional appeals to the public.
"I'm convinced that there's someone, somewhere who knows something," said Fortier.
She urged people to come forward with even the smallest detail, saying the information could turn out to be key to police. They have not given up hope their daughter will come home.
"She could be alive," Provencher said one recent afternoon as he awaited yet another meeting with provincial police. "Children in this situation can be alive. He [whoever took Cédrika] can leave Cédrika somewhere."
Until then, he said, he will continue the search that has consumed his life these last five months. "The more we search, the more likely he will make an error, the more he risks exposing something," he said.
Henri Provencher said the holiday period is "excessively difficult."
"Sometimes, it's like we're in a nightmare, but unfortunately, it's reality," he said. "We can't fall into despair. It's hope that keeps us going forward."
There's still a lot of information coming in and among it could be the key, he said, in tears. "You receive information of all kinds, of course. You receive information saying she is alive and others that say 'I killed her.'
"There are all kinds of people who do all kinds of things."
Barb Snider, international case director for the Missing Children's Society, said it is extremely difficult for families when their child's disappearance fades from the headlines.
"Their children are still missing and they don't want anybody to forget," she said.
Abductions by strangers are rare
According to the Missing Children's Network Canada, of more than 60,400 children considered missing in 2006, only 46 were believed to be abducted by strangers.
Snider said support is important for those families, but "not all parents are eager to participate at the beginning."
"It's very difficult for them to speak to other parents, especially when it comes to a stranger-type abduction," she said.
"Statistics, unfortunately, show that the recovery of these children alive and well are not high. So, we're usually putting parents in touch with other parents whose child … their body has been found or they're still missing many years down the road. Sometimes that's very difficult to deal with."
Police, family at odds
In the months since Cédrika was last seen, the relationship between the family and police has become more strained.
Henri Provencher is critical of the way police handled the investigation in those first crucial hours and days. They did not issue an Amber Alert or send her photo to U.S. border guards.
They should have cast a wide net immediately, he said.
Martin Provencher says police aren't sharing information with the family. He has come under criticism himself for the very active role he's had in the media, but he's unapologetic.
"My life right now is to find my daughter," he said. "My role is not to be a celebrity. I want to find my daughter."
Henri Provencher said he's not worried that the public might have forgotten his granddaughter. "I don't think people will forget," he said.
"This could be anybody's child. People don't want it to be this easy to take a child."
Police have also been looking for a French-speaking man between the ages of 30 and 40 with light brown hair and a medium build.
He was seen driving a four-door red Acura built between 2002 and 2004.
Police said it may have a beige interior and chrome door handles.
The police hotline is 1-800-659-4264.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR PART-TIME VOLUNTEERS
TO HELP FIND CÉDRIKA.
For more than a year now, Cédrika’s family has been searching tirelessly for her.
Hundreds of pieces of information have been transmitted to us, and we receive additional clues every day. The variety in these reports send us to the four corners of the country. It is impossible to be everywhere at once and to look into every detail without wasting countless hours travelling from one place to the other.
Since Cédrika’s disappearance, many people have shown their sympathy to the cause and their eagerness to help. Many citizens have become involved, each volunteering in his or her own way.
The Provencher family has re-organized its system of carrying on their search, and we need occasional help from people who are willing to follow up on information pertinent to their own region, village, town or sector. If you have friends or contacts outside the province or country, they are welcome to join in. With this kind of help, we will see a snowball effect with rapid checks and increased efficiency which will give us a better chance of finding Cédrika.
Any interested person may contact us quickly and in total confidentiality:

If anyone has anything to say please say it now . Someone knows something but are afraid to speak up . Surely someone knows even a little bit and can help .
This is a very sad and hurting situation and needs some kind of closure . Any mail to littleoneslost@hotmail.com will be kept out of the News and applied to finding dear Cedrika .''Little Ones Lost'' is searching for Cedrika and will continue to search and use many ways to do this .
Did anyone hear of a large car such as an older Impala or Oldsmobile with dark blue on the lower half and light blue to the upper part of this car ? Did anyone notice three French-Canadian Men in this large older car ? Anyone from Troix River area please 'think' and be aware now of this automobile with three young men in it . The men have black hair parted on the side and look very French-Canadian .
This car should be still around there and please watch for it and get the license number asap to me and l will follow through on it with the Quebec Police , on this case .
In communication with the Quebec Poilce it is noted that they are actively searching and help from the fine French Canadians is needed now .
Our intelligent Canadian French can do much in this case and will be rewarded for their effort to bring this sweet little girl home . I have Faith in my French-Canadian neighbours and l believe they will make an extra effort to find this young French Canadian girl named Cedrika Provencher .
It is time for our French Canadians ''to shine'' and show the World their strength .
Again , please watch for this car and three men in it . It is assumed it is a two door automobile but it may be a four door .
Also there is a dog out there that needs to be realized . Apparently the dog is black and white but the dog is only an option . Some may be searching for the dog in an unusual applied concept .
At this point anything may help , be it car or dog or whatever . I feel we can count on our French Canadian friends to step it up a notch and look deeper for Cedrika than what has been done already .
So many people are hurting over this and Cedrika remains missing . It is time for French Canadians to show their stuff and bring this innocent child home.
Thank you ,
Ron and Four Paws

--> It seems that God forgives all .
When we look at a pedophile for example , we can break it down into a defined reality . Why would a Man kidnap an innocent child , sexually abuse this child and then murder this innocent child ? In the case of some they have mental disorders and their actions to abuse the child is in the realms that they are ill and need confined psychiatric placement . Another may have a sexual dysfunction and need help also . When you place all the reasons a pedophile does what they do to children it seems that none of them ''just do it'' but they are mentally disturbed and need treatment . Perhaps we as Humans do not have the capacity to forgive a pedophile even when the pedophile is with mental dysfunction .
A Man who robs and murders someone for their money because they do not want to work for it etc , it is easy to not forgive this Man for the horrible crimes , and it is up to God alone to forgive in a case such as that.
Dear Lord ,
Please bring Cedrika home .
B.C. father foils brazen midday abduction attempt on son
September 17, 2008
The 15-month-old boy was playing near a splash pad in Kamloops's popular downtown riverside park. It was around noon on an unusually warm September day, with the temperature soaring to 27 degrees. Lots of people were milling about, enjoying the sunshine. His father was only 30 metres away.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a red shirt scooped up the child and bolted away.
The father ran after him, catching up to the stranger and tackling him. The father grabbed his boy, who was not injured. The stranger with short black hair escaped, his face injured, police said.
Yesterday, as many as 10 police officers were following up information on the attempted abduction Monday, RCMP Sergeant Scott Wilson said in an interview. "We want to find out who this person is and we want to deal with him,
Sgt. Wilson said police were not aware of any custody issues and do not believe the attempted abduction was related to a child-custody dispute.
"It appears this is somebody who did not know the family, came along, grabbed the kid and ran. ... This male was unknown to the father and unknown to the boy."
--->Police described the man as around 45 years old and weighing about 250 pounds.
An abduction of a child by a stranger is an extremely rare occurrence, Sgt. Wilson said, and he did not want to send shock waves through the community.
"But at the same time it did happen," he said. "It's very scary for any parent ... This type of thing is always in the back of a parent's mind."
Mayor Terry Lake said he could not recall another attempted kidnapping of a child in Kamloops.
"This is a very isolated incident. It does not reflect on the community at all," he said. "When something like this happens, it makes all of us as parents become more cautious and more fearful. But you have to keep it in perspective."
Two or three children are abducted by strangers every year in Canada, according to statistics compiled from police reports.
Last year, 285 children were abducted by a parent and 56 were taken by relatives, friends or strangers. Only one of the 56 children - Cédrika Provencher of Trois Rivières, Que. - was still missing in January, 2008.
The number of abductions in Canada by relatives, friends and strangers has fluctuated: There were 60 in 1997 and 30 in 2005.
The Kamloops incident reflects a trend noted in a study of baby abductions by strangers published this month in the American Journal of Nursing: With increased security at hospitals in recent years, strangers are targeting infants in private homes or in shopping malls, parking lots and other public places.
The study, headed by Ann Wolbert, professor in the department of psychiatric nursing at the William F. Connell School of Nursing at Boston College, reviewed 247 infant abductions by non-family members in the United States from 1983 to 2006.
Comparing statistics from the first 10 years to the next 13 years, the researchers found significant differences in abduction patterns. Abductions in public places tripled; those from private homes nearly doubled. Meanwhile, infant abductions from health-care facilities dropped by nearly 50 per cent.
In Canada, more than half of the 56 children abducted last year by friends, relatives or strangers disappeared from their homes.
Riverside Park is the premier green space in Kamloops, with tennis courts, a band shell, concession stands and playgrounds stretching along the South Thompson River. Although the city has some issues with homeless people in the park, it is considered a safe place to take children.
However, parents must still watch their children at all times, Sgt. Wilson said. Older children can be taught to be wary of strangers, but a 15-month-old will not perceive any danger, he said

Hi everybody here .
---> The search for Cedrika continues .
The Quebec Police and others have worked very hard in their effort to locate Cedrika Provencher , missing now for over one year .

Even an abductor must have a heart l assume and finding a way to let us know where Cedrika can be found would be the right and appropriate thing to do and put closure to this now .
All Tips are being investigated in many ways and will not stop until Cedrika is found .
All Canadians and others keep your eyes open for Cedrika .

Canada-Cedrika Provencher (10 years old) - missing from Quecbec, for 1 year
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Father of missing Quebec girl holds out hope for return one year later
THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - Martin Provencher has one simple message for his 10-year-old daughter who has been missing for almost one year - "Hang on."
Even though it's been months since investigators have brought forward any new leads, the tireless father of Cedrika Provencher hasn't given up hope of finding her.
The young girl vanished on July 31, 2007, near her home in Trois-Rivieres, Que., after telling a woman she was helping a man look for a lost dog.
Her ever-determined father wants Cedrika to know that it's not just her parents, but everyone, including the police, who are still on alert.
"If there's a way to send us a signal, in whatever manner possible, she should do it," the soft-spoken Provencher said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
"I know that she's smart and if there's something, she could easily find a way to give us a clue."
Last month, the 36-year-old Provencher took part in another fruitless search with sniffer dogs after receiving some guidance from psychics.
The search party checked out a strip of highway near Cedrika's hometown, which is halfway between Montreal and Quebec City.
"It was a piece of land that wasn't done in the past," Provencher added.
He said that the search was carried out after several clairvoyants in the U.S. sent along some GPS co-ordinates.
Cedrika's 62-year-old grandfather Henri Provencher said the family believes the girl can still be found alive.
"We are sure Cedrika is somewhere with somebody and we must find her," he said.
A special mass, followed by an outdoor candlelight procession, will be held Thursday evening at the nearby Notre-Dame-du-Cap Basilica, a popular pilgrimage shrine for Catholics.
Martin Provencher says he stays motivated by the encouragement he gets from the local residents he meets in stores who tell him not to give up.
He is also kept going by the several thousand emails and calls he has received at an old bank building which serves as his search headquarters.
"We easily get about 20 emails every day," he said. "They have come from France, Africa, Mexico and Australia."
Provencher says sometimes information comes in which is passed on to Quebec provincial police.
Posters with the missing girl's picture also continue to appear along roads all the way down to Florida.
"A lot of truckers are still asking us for two-by-two foot posters they can put on their trailers," he said.
"I said from the beginning that we're working to find her and that's what we're going to do."
The slender, ever-polite man has not been working since Cedrika's disappearance and has only taken a few weeks off from the search to relax.
"I went camping and spent time in a chalet to rest up after what has been a tough year," he said in a lengthy interview.
A $100,000 reward for information to help track down the freckled-faced girl expired in May and despite thousands of tips, police say there have been no new developments since last fall.
In September 2007, provincial police released a description of a French-speaking man and a four-door red Acura car believed to be involved in the girl's disappearance.
The man in his 30s had approached several girls about needing help to look for a lost dog in the two days before Cedrika vanished.
Provincial police say the car is still an important part of the investigation.
During the past year, police also have verified several reported sightings in neighbouring New Brunswick and in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region north of Quebec City.
RCMP Cpl. Marie-France Olivera, who works with the force's National Missing Children Services, says there were 60,582 reports of missing children in 2007 but 75 per cent of them involved kids running away from home.
"Most of the runaway cases usually come back within the next 24 hours," said Olivera, whose unit acts as a clearing house for information and provides support for police forces.
But 56 cases - less than .1 per cent - were reported as kidnappings or stranger abductions of children under 18.
"Kidnapping in Canada is considered (as) anyone other than the parents or legal guardian," she said.
"But that could be a grandmother, it could be a friend, it could be somebody known the family."
Alberta and Ontario each had 17 stranger abductions last year, the highest among all the provinces and territories in Canada.
But Olivera pointed out that the two provinces also have large populations.
B.C., Saskatchewan and Quebec, followed with five kidnappings each.
Olivera said the statistics indicated that, in most cases, more females than males were targeted.
"It appears females seem to be more of a target simply because, if it's a total stranger, the motivation for taking a child, especially a female child, will be for sexual gratification," she added.
Olivera said U.S. statistics reveal the females who are kidnapped are usually between 10 and 12 years of age.
Pina Arcamone, who runs Quebec's Missing Children's Network, insists Cedrika has not been forgotten and the case will remain active until she is found.
"People are still extremely, extremely troubled by the fact that this little girl has disappeared without leaving a trace," she said in an interview.
Arcamone also said Provencher was in the final stages of putting together the paperwork to set up a foundation in Cedrika's name.
She has been in touch with Cedrika's father and the family, sending them emails "a couple of times a month."
"They're very, very tired at this point, emotionally exhausted from this experience and all the dead-ends that have come up," she said.
"But they're not ready to give up."
SQ timeline - describing what it believes occurred before disappearance of Cédrika Provencher
Sunday, July 29: Several girls playing in Chapais Park, in a residential area of Trois Rivières, are approached by a white man, age 30 to 40, with brown hair.He tells them, in French, that he is looking for a small black and white dog.
Monday, July 30: The same man approaches girls playing in the same park, again asking for help in his search for a dog. (One girl had been at the park the night before when the man approached her and others. None of this was reported to police until after Cédrika vanished.)
Tuesday, July 31: Between 6 and 6:15 p.m., Cédrika leaves her house to go play with a friend on nearby René Matteau Place. They go to a wooded area on that street, situated between an apartment building and a single-family home. The woods, about two blocks from Chapais Park, descend into a small ravine, where the trees and underbrush are quite dense.
7:15 p.m.: A red, four-door Acura parks on René Matteau Place near this same wooded area. The car is parked oddly, more than a metre from the curb. A white man with brown hair, age 30 to 40, wearing Bermuda shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, gets out of the car and walks toward a nearby apartment building. A few minutes later, the man is seen walking out of the woods, about the same time as the two girls are walking out.
One of the girls matches Cédrika's description. (At this point, police believe, Cédrika is already engaged in the search for a little black and white dog.
8 p.m.: Cédrika is seen a few blocks from the wooded area, near the corner of des Chenaux Blvd. and Chapais St. At this point, she is alone with her bicycle, and she is looking for a little dog.
8:27: Cédrika is seen again at a different location on Chapais St., still looking for a dog. This is the last time she is seen.
8:30: Cédrika's bicycle is found by children a few blocks away, leaning against a fire hydrant at the corner of Chabanel and Chapais Sts.
Investigators speculate Cédrika was abducted between 8:27 and 8:30 p.m. at or near this location.
All these events took place within 500 metres of Cédrika's home.
EDITED: I APOLOGIZE IF THIS OFFENDS ANY OF THE PROVENCHER FAMILY AT THIS MOST DIFFICULT TIME FOR THEM . WE NEED TO KNOW THESE FACTS TO BE AWARE AND ABLE TO STOP THIS . IT IS NOT KNOWN WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CEDRIKA .
Quebec Region Research
Profile of Sex Offenders in Quebec Penitentiaries
The purpose of this study was to develop a profile of sex offenders
The objective of this study was to develop a database on Quebec sex offenders and analyze the data obtained.
The data showed that most of the subjects were born in Quebec, were
French-speaking and Caucasian. The average age of the pedophiles was 36.4, i.e., they were older than the murderers (average age 27.5)
Most of the subjects had experienced long periods of unemployment. In terms of alcohol and drug use, the murderers and assailants used more than the pedophiles.
The family environments of the subjects were apparently quite difficult. Most of the subjects came from economically disadvantaged backgrounds where there were instances of violence, crime, drug and alcohol use, and sexual deviance. In addition, a significant proportion of the subjects had been sexually abused, especially the pedophiles.
When considering all the variables, the pedophiles in particular were different from the other groups. Their offences were more premeditated and they very rarely acted under the influence of a psychotropic substance. They acted alone when committing their offences and did not usually use a weapon. However, about one-third of the pedophiles studied acted violently towards their victims. The other two groups of subjects were quite similar: their crimes were less premeditated and they acted more often under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They sometimes also committed sex crimes with an accomplice and usually used a weapon.
The man that approached the babysitter does not seem to show the profile of a pedophile . A pedophile pre=meditates the abduction and perhaps would not randomly approach a home and do as was reported in Gerard statements .
This then perhaps rules out that man as the same man who ,as assumed , abducted Cedrika ,if that man is a pedophile , one of the eighty known pedophiles in Cedrika's area.
This Poem is true . l am putting it here for Mooskee who would have wanted this .This missing Chippewa child is nic-named ''Peanut''. This poem is dedicated to her mother , Samantha .
..............Missing Reachelle.............
A "Peanut" in the glory of a Chippewa Nation.
So small and fragile , a glorious work of art.
Her smile shines from a long line of evolution,
And her life just beginning to start .
Her love and care for others still beholds ,
As the sun settles and the moon glares
Down the Turtle Mountain Memories
And heritage she shares .
The fun of life this "Peanut" presents
With everlasting and delightful charm
She warms your heart with her innocent touch
And brings such happiness without harm.
With the courage and strength to continue
With the strength of Warriors past
With life and struggles and will to survive
Reachelle has the strength which will last .
Brothers and Sisters from Nations near and afar
We call you out this day
To add up the Visions and Strengths from your past
To bring home "Peanut" today .
Mooskee
EDIT .. My Mooskee died today, Oct 21/07 , just after this poem was written today by us , and l forever send my love and heart to my precious Mooskee, '' Bless you Mooskee''.

Abbotsford girl thwarts abduction attempt
Last Updated: Thursday, May 22, 2008 CBC News
Police in Abbotsford, B.C., are hunting for a suspect after a 14-year-old-girl reported being hit with a pipe during an attempted abduction.
The girl was out for a walk in the Huntington area of Abbotsford around 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, when she noticed a vehicle approach her and then stop, said Constable Casey Vinet of the Abbotsford police.
The girl became concerned, so she turned around to walk back home, but the driver then got out of the vehicle yelling "get into the car" and grabbed her arm, attempting to drag her through the driver's side door, said police.
As the girl fought back, the man reached into the driver's side door and grabbed a pipe, which he swung and glanced off her forehead, said police.
The girl was not seriously injured and managed to escape, but Vinet said the incident was still of concern to police.
"The fact that this person, the suspect in this case, went as far as grabbing a pipe from the vehicle that he tried to strike her with is very concerning to us. I can't remember anything like this in recent history," said Vinet.
-----> The suspect is described as 40 to 45 years old with short brown hair, a medium build, clean shaven and wearing a blue T-shirt, blue, faded worn-out jeans and black runners. He was driving a red two-door car, which police described as old, dirty, and beat up.
'Suspicious man' not tied to alleged abduction bid: police
---> Friday, February 6, 2009
Calgary police are investigating a report of a suspicious man startling a young girl Friday, but they say it's not related to an alleged attempted abduction the day before.
A girl walking to school in southeast Calgary near McKenzie Lake on Friday morning noticed an SUV slowing down after the driver spotted her, police said. When she turned around to return home, the vehicle came to an abrupt stop.
She ran back into her house and locked the door, but the man got out of the SUV and kicked the door but then left, police said.
"It's definitely not being looked at as an abduction. We're calling it a suspicious person file at this point," duty Insp. Rob Williams told CBC News on Friday.
"There could be many, many reasons for this — why he stopped his truck and knocked on the door. In my experience, it's very rare that an abductor would bang on the door when a child's gone back into the home."
Williams said the man might have realized he startled the child and wanted to explain what happened to a parent.
He asked the motorist to contact the District 8 office to explain the situation.
The man is described as Caucasian, about 30 to 40 years of age with dark hair and a heavy build. The vehicle is an older white SUV with heavy rust.

Suspect sought in attempted abduction of Winnipeg teen
Friday, October 3, 2008
Winnipeg police have released a composite drawing of a man who may have tried to abduct a teenage girl three weeks ago.
Winnipeg police released this sketch on Friday of a suspect in an attempted abduction. The 14-year-old girl was walking near the Slaw Rebchuk Bridge on Salter Street around 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 18 when a man approached her, police said Friday.
"She was by herself at the time," said Winnipeg police spokeswoman Const. Natalie Aitkin.
"It was generally small talk. They were walking down the street, and he kept following her and asking her questions."
The girl repeatedly told the man to leave her alone, police said, but he continued to follow her to William Avenue and Isabel Street, where he grabbed her and tried to pull her into an alley.
The girl broke free, ran away and called police. She was not hurt.
Aitkin said the teen did everything right in the situation, which police consider an attempted abduction.
"She repeatedly told him she wanted nothing to do with him," she said. "She kept to a well-travelled area and … when it got physical, she immediately was able to flee."
Police are looking for a man between 25 and 35 years old with a skinny build, blue eyes and short hair. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses, black track pants with a white stripe, a red baseball cap and white runners.

Community stunned by attempted abduction
An attempted abduction of a 13-year-old girl on her way to school earlier this week has shocked residents of the Eastman region and brought the reality of random acts of violence far to close to home.

According to RCMP,

Does anyone have a theory on this ...
The witness who saw Cedrika coming out of the woods with the other young girl ,, did that witness notice if Cedrika had her pink bicycle helmet on ?
Cedrika obviously did not take her bike into the woods with her .
Since obviously Cedrika did not have her helmet on when coming 'out' of the woods ,,, then just where was Cedrika's helmet when Cedrika came out of the woods ?
If Cedrika left her helmet on her bike ,then why did she not leave it there, by the yellow fire hydrant ?
What happened to Cedrika's helmet ?
from before .

'' Cedrika tip line flooded with useless calls,,,''
Sunday, August 05 2007
Martin Provencher, father of Cedrika Provencher, who has been missing since July 31, is right: 99.9 per cent of people are indeed "du bon monde."
Martin Provencher issued a plea for his daughter's safe return yesterday.
Since the missing 9-year-old started making headlines, "bon monde" throughout the province have been reaching out, doing whatever they can to help little red-headed Cedrika return to her family in Trois Rivieres.
What most people are doing, especially in such distant regions as Abitibi or Montreal, is call the 1-800 information line set up by the Serete du Quebec.
And this heartfelt response is causing havoc at the call centre.
Since the line opened for Cedrika, it has been flooded by calls from well-meaning individuals who want to share their thoughts and despair, and even by some lonely people who are just looking to chat with someone.
"We're thankful that people are taking the time to call," Constable Isabelle Gendron said, "but we're looking for precise details."
Cedrika went missing around 8 p.m. July 31. She went on a bike ride and didn't return home. She was wearing a red bike helmet, a lime-green sundress and green flip-flops.
The last people who saw her were two women who said Cedrika was searching for a little black-and-white dog.
Gendron said details as to the location of any of Cedrika's belongings, such as her black and pink watch or her red helmet, are useful.
The SQ is also searching for tips about an unknown man who was seen in the neighbourhood asking other children about a lost dog.
And so, it wasn't all that surprising that the SQ received a call from a woman who found a small black-and-white dog - but it was a little disappointing that it was 800 kilometres away, in Abitibi.
"You understand, we're searching for the girl, not the dog," Gendron said. "There's much, much filtering, filtering, filtering of phone calls.
"We need precise details that will give us a new lead to find Cedrika," she concluded.
While every hotline receives empty information, Cedrika's case has overcharged the call-centre employees with random calls, Sgt. Michel Brunet said.
"This is a continual problem," Brunet said, giving the example that during winter months, people call 911 to find out the hockey score. "But now, obviously, we've publicized this line a lot, so there are a lot more calls."
Brunet said he can't put a number on the amount of calls the SQ hotline has received. But his colleague Gendron said they "have been flooded with calls."
Brunet added: "There are people who had a dream during the night; people who read in crystal balls; people who read tea leaves.
"And while we're listening to that person, there's maybe someone trying to reach us with a real detail, and giving up."
Then there are those who call the SQ to tell them how to do their job, or because they have an idea about how to pursue the case, Gendron and Brunet said.
"These calls cause problems, but they're typical, we have to listen to them," Brunet said.
And that's the kicker - the SQ is required to take every call and follow it through to its end. It can't afford to have public complaints that individuals were ignored by the police, regardless of the nature of their call.
To top it off, the nature of the work at the call centre - hours on end of deciphering kooky and sometimes violent calls - makes it difficult to find employees willing to do the work. Weekends and holidays are especially psychologically rough, and sometimes only one person mans the phone.
In the meantime, the Provencher family in Trois Rivieres sits and paces and stands and waits, hoping their
5-foot-tall daughter will reappear.
And the family reaches back out to the public, too: yesterday, Cedrika's father made a plea for his daughter's return.
Addressing the media, Provencher implied Cedrika might have been kidnapped and implored his daughter's captor to leave her on any street corner. Provencher added that if the girl were left on the street, someone would surely bring her back to her family.
In his plea, Provencher called on the public to come forward with new information about his daughter's whereabouts.
Here's hoping the call will be made - and received.
Anyone with information about Cedrika Provencher's disappearance is urged to call the SQ at 1-800-659-4264.:rose:
''Cedrika missing forty hours''...
---> Thu. Aug. 2 2007 10:37 PM ET
Quebec provincial police have taken over the search for a nine-year-old girl, who appears to have disappeared while searching for a missing dog.
Cedrika Provencher went missing Tuesday night in Trois-Rivieres, a community located halfway between Montreal and Quebec City.
Almost 400 people helped in the search Thursday, knocking on doors and walking through wooded areas.
So far, only Cedrika's bicycle has been found.
A group of teens found the bike abandoned on a street around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, close to where the little girl was last seen. They then moved it to an apartment building more than a kilometre from the girl's home and stashed it behind some large garbage cans.
Cedrika was last seen by two of her neighbours around 8 p.m. on Tuesday. She told them she was looking for a missing dog,,,
----> " possibly at the request of an unidentified woman. ''
Police are now searching for that woman, but have not commented on whether Cedrika may have been abducted.
"No theories are being ruled out," Pierre Rivard, a Quebec provincial police spokesman, told The Canadian Press. "That's why we're putting an emphasis on the investigative effort.
"We will have 30 investigators in the field to look for clues and check the information we are getting. On the other hand, this isn't taking away from the search effort."
Family and friends of the little girl have collected money from companies and the public, and are offering a $20,000 reward for information on Cedrika's whereabouts.
"She didn't do anything to deserve this," said Guy McKenzie, a family friend speaking in French. "Someone, somewhere is really disturbed to do this."
Police are searching for any items the girl was wearing at the time, including a ladybug necklace, a black and pink watch or a red bike helmet.
They're also checking to see if any registered sex offenders live in the neighbourhood and will go door-to-door to see if any residents have any information.
Cedrika's family said the girl always came home on time. She was supposed to return on Tuesday at 8:15 p.m., and her mother phoned police at 9 p.m.
"We are looking for clues which will eventually enable us to take this investigation in one direction or another," said Rivard. "At this moment, we have very few elements which will give a direction to the case."

CEDRIKA PROVENCHER MISSING --

---> ''A few minutes later, the man is seen walking out of the woods, about the same time as the two girls are walking out.'' <---
One of the girls matches Cédrika's description.
8 p.m.: Cédrika is seen a few blocks from the wooded area, near the corner of des Chenaux Blvd. and Chapais St. At this point, she is alone with her bicycle, and she is looking for a little dog.
====> The witness who saw Cedrika coming out of the woods with the other girl stated , '' The girl l think looked like Cedrika '' .
======> If Cedrika had her pink helmet on , the witness would have known for sure it was Cedrika,,, therefore Cedrika did not have her helmet on when she left the woods .
Her helmet was not with her bike propped on the yellow fire hydrant .
So , Cedrika did not wear her helmet when she went for that bike ride -that evening ,,, ?
- littleoneslost@hotmail.com
If Cedrika left her pink bike helmet at home , then someone from home got rid of it because it isn't there .
However if Cedrika left her helmet at someone elses home , it would probably be a relative but no relatives have come forward with the helmet .
If Cedrika had slept over at a friends she may have left it there , but none of the Dads there have come forward with the pink helmet .

---> ''A paradise for pedophiles ,,,
Montreal .
For over a decade, Robin Sharpe has been known as Canada's most notorious child pornographer, a label he wears with considerable pride. After a 1995 raid on his Vancouver apartment, where police found pictures of children engaged in sexual activity, along with several often violent works of fiction depicting sex between men and young boys, Sharpe launched a sustained legal campaign for the right to be a proud, practising pedophile.
"I have never felt persecuted in Montreal," pedophile Ian Hodgson said in an email. In 1990, Hodgson was convicted of gross indecency and sexual assault against boys as young as 11. Nevertheless, the 63-year-old has been an active member of the city's pedophile community, particularly as a founding member of the Ganymede Collective, a loosely organized group of pedophiles -
- adults who are attracted to children -- who gathered for 10 or so years until about 2004 to chat, socialize and, according to one member, encrypt their computers to better hide child pornography from the authorities.''
Montreal is also home to a company that provides hosting services to some of the most prominent pedophilia-related sites in North America, if not the world. These include Boy Chat, Girl Chat, Open Hands, Christian Boylove Forum, as well as Sharpe's own sites and Alice Mail ,a pedophile-friendly site owned by prominent pedophile.
The city is also the birthplace of Free Spirits, an online resource "dedicated to promoting open communication among boylovers, the most underserved and misunderstood sexual minority remaining in today's human society," according to its website.''<---

---> ''Mother believes vanished son is victim of paedophile ring.
FILOMENA TEIXERA said goodbye to her 11-year-old son Rui Pedro Mendonca and he pedalled off happily on his bike. He was never seen by his mother again .
Rui Pedro was not found despite an intensive search and international appeal.
Until the case of Madeleine McCann, his disappearance on March 4, 1998, was Portugal’s most notorious case of suspected abduction.
Teixera’s anguish has been compounded by her conviction that her son was abducted and abused by a paedophile ring. A few months after his disappearance, police showed her a photograph from the Wonderland Club, a paedophile website.
The picture was not clear but it showed a boy who looked like Rui Pedro, naked and being abused by a paedophile. Teixera believes it was her son.
“I was shocked and traumatised,” she said. “I went to see an association in Switzerland [Innocence in Danger] to ask for help and I saw and heard horrible things. I was even more traumatised because I saw people did awful things to children.”
As the search for Madeleine continued last week, one of the greatest fears was that she, too, had been abducted by paedophiles.
The Algarve has been become a haunt for British paedophiles as there is no sex offenders’ register.
Confirmed cases of children being kidnapped and used for images to be traded on the internet are rare.
Most victims of child sexual abuse know their attacker — usually a family member or someone known to the family.
The Wonderland paedophile ring was uncovered by the National Crime Squad in London.
It led to arrests in Britain, Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and the United States.
More than 1,200 children were pictured, some suffering appalling abuse. One was only three months old. Even with the help of facial mapping software, only a very small number have been identified '' <---
CEDRIKA PROVENCHER MISSING ...
It may be that the 'profile' of Cedrika's abductor , [if in fact she was abducted] , may not fit the profile of a pedophile .
After reading about all the pedophile groups in Montreal l wondered if they might help find Cedrika because if it was a pedophile who took Cedrika , and since Montreal is pedophile heaven , then perhaps one of them knows something and they can help .
Since the pedophiles want to be a ''group'' then why don't they be a ''group'' now and send in a ''group'' TIP allowing the world to see that the pedophile ''group'' helped find Cedrika .

Cedrika Provencher could have been abducted by duo
Fri, 2007-08-17
The Surete du Quebec says it's not ruling out the possibility that nine-year-old Cedrika Provencher was abducted in Trois-Rivieres by a woman or a couple.
Authorities have been searching for a man whom they believe approached Cedrika, and several other young girls, claiming he needed help looking for his dog.
However, one of the first tipsters to call in said she last saw the little girl more than two weeks ago looking for a woman's lost puppy.
The police are not confirming if they're searching for a couple, but say they're not closing the door on any possibilities.

What was with Cedrika when Cedrika went missing ..
http://www.zone911.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2352&Itemid=1
So far, only Cedrika's bicycle has been found.
A group of teens found the bike abandoned on a street around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, close to where the little girl was last seen. They then moved it to an apartment building more than a kilometre from the girl's home and stashed it behind some large garbage cans.
Cedrika was last seen by two of her neighbours around 8 p.m. on Tuesday. She told them she was looking for a missing dog, possibly at the request of an unidentified woman.
Police are now searching for that woman, but have not commented on whether Cedrika may have been abducted.
Witnesses, police foil abduction of Quebec boy
Eight-year-old was bound, gagged stuffed into trunk of car..
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
An eight-year-old boy who police say was snatched from the street, stuffed into the trunk of a car and later bolted into an oil drum, was rescued on Tuesday after a witness trailed the alleged kidnapper's vehicle.
Ryan Murphy, 24, was stopped at a traffic light when he saw what he believed was a boy trying to escape from the trunk, which was partially open. He trailed the car until it stopped in a driveway and then called police.
When officers arrived at the address they found the boy tied up in the building's boiler room inside an oil drum.
"I'm so happy the child got saved -- you couldn't ask for more," said Mr. Murphy, a carpenter whose quick thinking was praised by police last night.
The drama started at about 6 p.m. when a woman in Levis, just outside Quebec City, called police to report that she had witnessed a man force a young boy into the trunk of his car and speed off.
Alec Beaulieu, another child who was in the neighbourhood, was one of many who saw the alleged abduction.
"We saw the man get out of his car. He looked really mad, he took the little boy in his arms," Alec told reporters. "The boy was screaming and struggling, then the man opens the trunk, closes it and takes off."
Sonie St-Pierre said she attempted to intercept the man's vehicle after watching him force the boy into the trunk.
"At a time like that we do what our instinct tells us to do," said Ms. St-Pierre, who immediately contacted police when the man evaded her. "My instinct was telling me, ‘Charge and forget about your car, try to save him.' ... I will always bear the memory of this man putting a small child in the trunk of the car. I will always carry that scene with me."
About 30 minutes later, Mr. Murphy was driving home when a movement caught his eye. He had just stopped at a traffic light.
The movement came from the trunk of a green 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier diagonally ahead of him in the right-hand lane.
"The trunk opened and I saw something move, and then I saw the trunk open more and I saw a child," he said. "At that moment, I saw a man get out of the car quite rapidly and move towards the trunk to close it."
Questions, he said, flashed through his mind. Were there lots of people in the car? Was it a way to fit an extra person in?
But as he looked through the car windows, he said, he saw it was empty except for the driver.
"It happened so quickly," he said, "but the impression I had was that the child was trying to escape."
So when the car peeled off a little too quickly as the light turned green, Mr. Murphy trailed it, following for just over a kilometre.
Mr. Murphy slowed the car and watched it stop in front of a building, its engine idling.
"I was trying to figure out if he was going to stay there or if he was continuing on. I wanted to determine if I needed to continue the chase," he said.
But the car did not seem to be moving, and with the surge of rush hour traffic around him, Mr. Murphy decided to dash home and call the police, he said.
"If I'd known, if I'd heard on the news that a child had been kidnapped, it would have happened differently," he said. "But at that point, I had no idea and I really needed to contact the police."
Minutes later, he said, he spoke with the police, who took the information seriously, having matched it to descriptions in the earlier call.
Police arrived on scene a few moments later and located the car, which had its licence plate flipped to the wrong side, said provincial police spokesman Sergeant Gregory Gomez del Prado.
Police then entered a building and found the boy in the boiler room in the basement, where he was bound and gagged but did not appear injured.
"He was safe and sound, but was transported to hospital," he said. "He was tied up inside the oil tank."
Police have arrested the building's 50-year-old janitor in connection with the case, and charged him with abduction, abduction of a child under 14 and confinement.
Sgt. Gomez del Prado said there was no apparent link between the suspect and the boy.
"For now, it doesn't seem there was a relationship between the two, but we know for sure that the suspect lived on the same street in Levis as the boy," he said.
Sgt. Gomez del Prado said witnesses' calls were crucial to the rescue operation.
"Without the help of the public," he said, "I don't know how we would have found the boy."

"' Thanks Lord ''
" Shut Up Fratchly "
---------------- ,,, by Ron .
Fratchly grew up searching for God .
With theories of Jesus he would make .
Every time Fratchly mentioned his Holy stuff ,
Someone said , "Shut up Fratchly" ,,
" For Christ's sake " .
Fratchly knew something "just didn't seem right ",
When at Church on "Chicken Wing Day ",
He told Father , "eating meat wasn't right ",
Father said , "Shut up Fratchly" ,, ''Go away" .
Fratchly grew up not like a regular child
Fratchly was told "shut up'' all day .
It didn't matter what his new discoveries might bring
"Shut up " is all they'd say .
Fratchly didn't care ,, he was searching for God ,
And he had come a long long way .
Not only did he find God's great Healing secrets,
He also found out what to say .
"Shut up from here , shut up from there" ,
'' Will it ever go away ''
'' Why do people treat me like this " .
"I'd like to hear what God has to say ".
He was persecuted all his life
Just for searching for Truth , 'his way' .
It was time for Fratchly to go
'straight to the Lord ' ,
And hear what the Lord has to say .
Then it happened , Fratchly had to believe .
He had made that almighty Grace
And now Fratchly was all alone with God
Alone with God ,,,"face to face " .
''Lord do you think l talk too much '',
Seems everyone "shuts" me so ,
Then God said , "Those people were "Me'' talking to you "
" l was trying to let you know" .
Fratchly said , "Oh my God those people were You '' .
"That was 'You' God talking to me "
Saying , "Shut up Fratchly" even "Shut uppa you mouth",,
"In all languages "You God " said that to me ? " .
Fratchly had reached the ultimate goal
Communication with God and Spiritualy free .
" Oh one question my Lord ,, You told me everything but '',,
"Is there anything you want from me ?"
The Lord made a cough and stated quite firm ,
'Shut up Fratchly" , Shut up Fratchly,, Please '' .

:rose: WHERE IS CEDRIKA ? :rose:
Cedrika Provencher Missing .
There is so much hurt and sorrow with this , my own life is affected as l try to do what l can to bring Cedrika home .
My communications with the investigating Quebec Police and the Child Find Network in Quebec , and communications with Cedrika's grandfather has allowed me to get a clear picture of what is going on here .
Perhaps there is nothing that suggests Pedophile involvement in Cedrika missing .
There probably is a ''pedophile hotline'' where the pedophiles chat and share adventures . But this group can help by communicating with each other on where Cedrika is . Even the 'Quebec Pedophiles' can help by talkng to each other and coming forth with facts , allowing them some output for Cedrika as they individually and together deal with the sexual difficulties in their own life .
This horror of Cedrika missing must end , and can end , resolution or no resolution , simply by the people involved to 'set her free' whatever that means today , now .
More people and their great minds are needed , to find Cedrika .
