Detective Lise Delorme.
Yeah.
Uh, yes, no, now is a good time.
I'll just go outside. Just a second.
Yeah, I can come down sometime
in the next week or so.
Yeah, I'll email you.
Yeah, thank you, bye.
I was just coming to find you.
I got a call from Jerry Commanda
about a possible missing person,
our jurisdiction.
You ever work with a
prosecutor Robert Quillen?
Uh, just crossed paths with him.
He's married to that politician, our MPP?
Sheila Gagne.
She's the one who called.
Robert's the missing person.
I'll tell you later.
COMMANDA: Sheila called me first,
but I know this is your territory.
I'm just here as a courtesy to a friend.
Detective Lise Delorme,
Detective John Cardinal,
Sheila Gagne.
Thank you for coming, detectives.
Did Jerry tell you-
I didn't tell them
anything other than that
you were worried about Robert.
So how we can help, Ms. Gagne?
My husband, Robert Quillen, he's a-
He's a crown prosecutor.
CARDINAL: I know Robert. We've
worked a few cases together.
I believe he's mentioned you.
I, uh, I gotta go make
a couple of phone calls.
I'll let you catch them up.
Thanks.
CARDINAL: So you believe
he might be missing?
He hasn't been home,
he hasn't called or texted.
No one's seen him.
Given his job and mine...
Have either of you
received any serious threats?
Both of our offices
receive threats every day.
Sometimes it's hard to tell
which ones are serious.
Yeah, I understand that,
um, but there could be
any number of reasons
why Robert didn't come home,
so we just need to know if you have
any special cause for concern.
Robert had a hearing this
morning and he didn't show up.
That hasn't happened in
his career, not once.
When's the last you've seen him?
Yesterday morning and I-
I know that it hasn't been very long.
So he didn't come back home at all?
No, but I-I wasn't
expecting him until later.
Because?
He had a date.
What kind of date?
We have an open marriage.
Okay.
Is it possible, Ms. Gagne,
that he just decided to extend the date?
No, we have rules.
He comes home.
If something came up, he would call.
Does Robert drink or
do dr*gs of any kind?
He drinks in moderation.
No dr*gs.
Any history of mental illness?
Are you asking about him or me?
I'm just asking for anything
you think might be relevant.
He has no history of mental illness.
I take medication for anxiety,
but that is not what this is.
There are people around here
that don't like the job that I'm doing,
and some of them just don't like me.
And Robert prosecutes the worst
kinds of abusers, murderers.
So maybe it's nothing serious,
but I would really like to
know where my husband has gone.

We,

Abducted?

you and Robert took a car
