Doris is listed on NamUs but that seems to be the only source of information about her disappearance. If anyone knows who Doris was married to, her maiden name, or whether she had children, can you post it in the comments? Was she the Doris married to Leo P Tetreault? Per NamUs she was last seen on June 1, 1978 and this Doris signed off on some property in Blackstone MA on June 8, 1978 but then I got looking at her 1978 signature compared to her 1971 signature ... Hmmm.
So is Leo P the Leo Paul Tetreault kicking it back in FL these days? Apparently there were a few of them in Worcester County MA in 1993.
We'd like to know if this is the right Doris Tetreault so we can learn more about the circumstances under which she went missing. Because whoever listed her on NamUs seemed to know little about her, including how old she was.
When someone has a car stolen, a very thorough description is broadcast- make, model, year, etc. When a person goes missing and they show up in NamUs with a vague description (34 to 38 year old white female), it is disturbing to say the least. How is it that no one is able to provide a DOB for this woman and some info around the circumstances of her disappearance? Keeping these details "secret" is not conducive to accessing the collective knowledge of the public.
Why is your organization looking into this case?
ReplyDeleteWhen was this posted?
Because missing people need to be found. It was posted a few years ago. Do you know anything about these people?
DeleteMy name is Kathryn Ryan Dubuque and I grew up in Blackstone, MA. Doris Ann Beaudoin Tetreault was my mother's cousin. She disappeared when I was a little girl and my mother was so upset because she believed that Leo P. Tetreault murdered Doris because she attempted to leave him and the acting Chief of Police at the time covered up the case. Every time we drove by that house my mother would say I know Doris is buried on that property. My mother tried to reopen the case years later, but Doris's siblings refused to cooperate and told her to leave it alone in a very threatening manner. They were irate.
ReplyDeleteI discovered about Doris’s case on a website called uncovered. Apparently she was born in 1944, and disappeared at the age of 34. The information about her husband’s house is on this website https://clustrmaps.com/a/200lbv/
DeleteI genuinely think this case should be reopened as soon as possible in order to give Doris the justice she deserves, so please, do something!
Kathryn, that must have been very hard on your mom. Perhaps it's time that someone took a new look at the case. Seems like someone in Doris's family might care about what happened to her.
ReplyDeleteDoris and Leo lived at 85 Elm Street, Blackstone, MA. When her mother reported her missing in June of 1978, she stated that Doris was not living with her husband. But, this is because Leo told the family that she had left him. But my mother believes that he had already killed her because Doris would never leave without informing her family. There is no way that Doris could have signed those papers on June 8, 1978 because she was already presumed and reported missing on June 1st. It doesn't add up. You have my full cooperation in this matter as well as my family's. My parent's home is about a quarter of a mile from where Doris lived and we all believe that Doris's body is on that property. She didn't leave him. She just never made it out. My mother also said that there were rumors that Leo's first wife had disappeared as well. But I don't know who she was.
ReplyDeleteSo many places to search. Unfinished basement, the hand dug well, the swamp and the stream behind the house. Bring in the ground radar units and the cadaver dogs.
ReplyDeleteSo, how do we go about reopening this case? We would like to be expeditious as we are concerned that certain members of Doris's immediate family may try to conceal whatever evidence might be out there.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can speak to a MA detective I know and ask him who would be the point person on this case ... unless you know a good person to ask. Do you know who owns the property now?

Joseph Martel is the current owner and resident of the property.
ReplyDeleteWhen you contact the Blackstone Police Dept.you can tell them that Kathryn Ryan and family would like to reopen the case. My brother Richard Ryan, Jr. is a retired sergeant from the Blackstone Police Dept. My father Richard Ryan, Sr. had served as town Selectman in the late 60's early 70s.
ReplyDeleteAs your family already has connections to law enforcement there, it would probably carry more weight if one of you reached out directly.
ReplyDeleteI reached out to the Blackstone Police Dept. and I am waiting for a reply. I will continue to provide updates to this site as we proceed.
DeleteKathryn, I'm glad to hear that the authorities have been notified that relatives want to have this case re-examined. I will do a little research on the family. Curious about that first wife comment.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what year was Doris born and were her parents from Massachusetts? It has puzzled me why her age at the time of her disappearance seems to be unknown. Did she have children?
ReplyDeleteDoris had no children. I am unable to find her birth records online. So I will visit the city clerk in Woonsocket, RI where she was born. Need to make a correction. Property records show that she and Leo lived at 87 Elm Street, Blackstone, not 85 Elm Street.
DeleteDoris's parents Joseph and Florence Beaudoin were both from Woonsocket, RI.
ReplyDeleteI've reached out to the Blackstone Police Department and to the Worcester County, DA and have not heard back from them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that background information. Hope you hear back soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting. Any developments?
ReplyDeleteHas anything happened here with this case? This guy Leo is living down in Melbourne Fl with his wife Deborah. Online records say he is in his 80's. If you can not get help from the Blackstone Police reach out to Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit-Worcester (508) 832-9124 Agency Case Number 1979-115-0027
ReplyDeleteKeith Egan, Sergeant. Good luck please keep us posted. If Leo is responsible in anyway he needs to be held accountable and hopefully your family can get some answers before it's too late.
I agree, someone please do something!!
Deletesomeone could be buried on that property for christs sake!!! someone do something!
