57-year-old mother, Lilianne Cyr, has waited more than 36 years for information on her missing daughter, Yohanna, who was only 18-months-old at the time of her disappearance. However, she claims that it’s the first time that she’s confident that the answer is coming. She mentioned on Wednesday that “they’re going to find something, I can feel it.”

Lilianne’s improved optimism is due to special efforts of the Montreal Police to find missing Yohanna Cyr, who disappeared in the summer of 1978. Engineering students from the Université de Montréal’s École Polytechnique are using sophisticated metal detectors and geo-radar devices to scan several feet below the surface of a parking lot in Saint-Laurent. The students will hunt for a metal box approximately the size of a microwave oven. Reports confirm that Lilianne’s former boyfriend was babysitting at the time the toddler disappeared, whereas a witness alleged to have noticed the man leaving the home that night with what appeared to be a bread box.

Police believes that the box contained the baby’s remains and it was likely buried in a field next to the home. The suspect field was transformed into a parking lot in 1989. An engineering professor at École Polytechnique, Michel Chouteau, stated that “we’re quite excited,” because “it’s a challenge, it’s a very small object and you’ve got a very large parking lot to look through.” The students have previously searched the same lot back in April and highlighted four points of interest.
