The Abduction of Michelle Lise Wedge

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.

Last seen: Southwest corner of John & Dominion Sts.

The Timeline:

Initial interviews with friends and neighbors determined that Michelle had last been seen at around 9:10 p.m., about 40 minutes after her brother recalled having heard her exiting the house to play outside.

A witness saw Michelle riding her Mustang-style bicycle north on Dominion Street, near the intersection with John Street, just a few houses away from her home. Another individual reported seeing the same thing at about the same time. One witness recalled seeing a young girl getting into a car at that corner that night. 

Michelle was wearing a red and white T-shirt, blue shorts, blue socks and navy blue sandals when she disappeared. At the time of her disappearance, she was four feet tall, with brown eyes and light brown hair.

The last tip in Michelle’s case came in nearly eight years ago. Investigators are still actively trying to solve the case and believe somebody has information about what happened to Michelle Wedge.
