SOLVED: Missing 11-years Underwater (Yvon Guévin and His Dog Caustad)
On July 6, 2014, 75-year-old Yvon Guévin and a Doberman Pinscher named Caustad disappeared from the town of Pierreville, Quebec, Canada. Driving a green 1989 Jeep Cherokee, Yvon’s sudden absence left his family with a decade of silence. This episode follows the team from Exploring with a Mission, sponsored by Adventures with Purpose, as they travel to Quebec to piece together a ten-year-old puzzle from scratch.

In this episode:
The mission began at the local boat ramp in the heart of Pierreville. Within hours, the sonar picked up a large, metallic target that the team believed was the missing Jeep, but a closer look revealed it to be an old, overturned metal barge. With their primary location cleared, the team wanted more information before moving on to other spots in the area. They reached out to the detective on the case, then talked to an officer familiar with the case at the police station.
The police provided a lead on a quiet, secondary boat ramp that had never been searched. While the team cleared that ramp, a neighboring access point, and several roadside pull-offs, the water remained empty. Shifting tactics, the team headed into town to talk to the community. They met Yvon’s former neighbors, who revealed that on the day he vanished, Yvon was on his way to meet a friend. He had even called that friend to say he was only "13 minutes away." Later that evening, the lead detective added a final piece: Yvon had also stopped at a hardware store just down the road before making that call. With this 13-minute window in mind, the team went back to the drawing board to map out Day 2.
Day 2 started at a boat ramp located exactly 13 minutes from the hardware store. While the ramp and the surrounding shoreline were clear, the team encountered another friend of Yvon who suggested a specific area in Nicolet. The search moved to Nicolet, where the team cleared two more ramps and several easy access points. Just as the search seemed to stall, they ran into yet another friend of Yvon. This individual directed the team back toward Pierreville but further north to Notre-Dame-de-Pierreville, noting that Yvon frequently fished at specific ramps in that area.
The team put in at one of the Notre-Dame-de-Pierreville ramps and began a meticulous sonar sweep along the road’s edge. Eventually, a car-shaped object appeared on the screen. A magnet was deployed and locked on instantly, while the sonar image clearly revealed two tires protruding from the silt.
A dive was initiated into the murky water to confirm the target. After navigating the debris, the divers were able to retrieve the license plate: GZP 655. The mystery was officially over. Local law enforcement was contacted immediately to coordinate the recovery of the vehicle from the riverbed.
As the team waited for law enforcement to get everything sorted, Yvon’s family arrived on the scene. It was a somber moment of realization for the team to learn that Caustad was actually the granddaughter's dog, who had been with Yvon that day. The vehicle was pulled and transported for forensic processing, where officials confirmed that Yvon's remains were still inside.
The recovery of Yvon Guévin was only possible because of the sequence of friends and neighbors who stepped forward to guide the team. Their collective memory provided the map that technology alone could not find. After ten years, Yvon and Caustad have finally been brought home, providing his family and the Pierreville community with the answers they have waited so long to hear.
