Greater Sudbury Police Service committed to investigation into disappearance of Meagan Pilon

SUDBURY—September 11, 2023 marked 10 years since Meagan Pilon went missing from the New Sudbury Area. In 2013, Meagan Pilon was on her way from her Sudbury home to Espanola with the trip to continue onto Manitoulin Island. However, since that time the teenager has been missing.

“The Greater Sudbury Police Service (GSPS) remains committed to investigating the circumstances of Meagan Pilon’s disappearance and finding answers for her family, friends and the community,” said Kaitlyn Dunn, corporate communications supervisor with GSPS in a release September 11.

“Over the past decade (GSPS) has followed-up on numerous leads and interviewed several witnesses,” the GSPS continued.

Meagan was 15 years old at the time of her disappearance and was described as being 5’10” tall, around 140 pounds, with dark hair, hazel eyes, and a small scar on her right upper lip.

“Over the past decade the GSPS has followed up on numerous leads and interviewed several witnesses,” the GSPS said.

On September 7, 2022, The Expositor wrote a story interviewing volunteers Julie Charette and Natashia Pickering of Please Bring Me Home. Ms. Charette told the Expositor, “We were told that she (Meagan) was on her way to Espanola to stay for the night, and then would be travelling to Manitoulin Island to visit friends. I belong to the group Please Bring me Home and she is one of the cases I have been investigating. Nathasia Pickering and I worked on this case.”
