On March 4, 2011, Joly's son, Luke Joly-Durocher, a 20-year-old from Témiscaming was in North Bay to visit with friends and was staying on Sherbrooke Street in North Bay.
The friends consumed alcohol prior to going to a bar where Luke was refused entry. Luke then visited a second bar on Delaware Street where he was last seen alive. Family members reported Luke missing on March 7, 2011.
A reward of $50,000 remains in place for anyone with information on Luke’s whereabouts.
The case has also garnered attention from Ellen White, a private investigator with Pulse Private Investigations based out of Barrie as well as the Owen Sound based Please Bring Me Home, an organization with a stated mission to solicit anonymous tips regarding cold case missing persons across Canada to find the missing and bring them home to their family and friends.
