In the meantime, we invite you to read the summary of this sad story:
" On May 20, 1975, around 8:15 p.m., Diane Déry and Mario Corbeil, neighbors from a residential neighborhood in Longueuil, went for a motorcycle ride. Diane and Mario take the trail, a well-known path for young people in the area. Mario has just bought his first motorcycle, a small Kawasaki, and he's been showing off his pride and joy to his neighbors, who have taken turns riding his new machine on this happy evening.
When 9 p.m. struck and the youngsters hadn't returned, Mrs. Déry became worried and asked her eldest son, Pierre, to check out the trail. The surrounding fields were combed, and the hours grew increasingly anxious when the Longueuil police finally arrived. The next morning, at around 7.20 a.m., after many trying hours, the bodies of the two teenagers were found, lying on top of each other and riddled with bullets. "
