Michelle Wedge was seven years old when she disappeared on July 2, 1975, while riding her bike near her home on Dominion Street in Moncton, New Brunswick. She was last seen on the southwest corner of John and Dominion Sts.
Michelle had been left in the care of her older siblings. Her older brother had friends over at the time, and Michelle was out riding her bike in the neighbourhood. As daylight turned to dusk, nobody checked on Michelle. It was only at approximately 9 p.m. when everyone realized she wasn’t playing in the yard.
Michelle’s brother discovered her bicycle bicycle on the boulevard at the southwest corner of Dominion Street.
