“But I think I might be your daughter.” 
 
 Yohanna Cyr disappeared from her mother’s St-Laurent apartment exactly 38 years ago on Monday. She has sent Cyr photos, and she not only looks like Yohanna, Cyr said, but her daughters do as well. But after Cyr headed to Boston to pick her up, Lewis’s story changed: Yohanna had drowned in the bathtub, Cyr says he told her, and he had no choice but to bury her. “There can’t be 50,000 people with that mark on their finger, can there?” 
 
 Cyr said local police are communicating with American authorities so the woman can have DNA tests performed to know if she really is Yohanna. Lewis was arrested and charged with child abduction, but was acquitted and released because of a lack of evidence. Liliane Cyr has spent close to four decades hoping someone would contact her with news of her daughter Yohanna, who disappeared from her St-Laurent apartment when she was only 18 months old. The woman answered with a question of her own: Did Yohanna have a Y-shaped birthmark on her index finger? She pushed her parents for details, but they never provided clear answers.  Update, Oct. 5, 2016: DNA tests have revealed that the U.S. woman is not the daughter of Liliane Cyr. So when she received a private message two weeks ago through a Facebook page set up to keep Yohanna’s case alive, Cyr, 59, took a deep breath and reminded herself not to get her hopes too high, regardless of what it said.
– A Canadian woman looking for her missing daughter since she went missing as a toddler almost 40 years ago received a Facebook message in early August that may change her life, the Ottawa Citizen reports. The private message sent to Liliane Cyr, who maintains a Facebook page dedicated to finding her daughter Yohanna, who disappeared from their Montreal apartment in 1978, was from a US woman who started off asking a very specific question about a birthmark on Yohanna's finger, followed by this: "I'm not 100% sure, but I think I might be your daughter." The woman told Cyr that the discovery that her birth certificate was a fake, an odd lack of early childhood photos, and fuzzy memories of a plane ride led her to suspect something was amiss in her past. The Montreal Gazette tells the story of what happened the week Yohanna disappeared, with 20-year-old Cyr leaving 18-month-old Yohanna in the care of Aaron Lewis Guay, her US boyfriend at the time, while she was out of town for work. Guay met up with Cyr a few days later without the baby, first telling Cyr his mom was watching Yohanna, then saying the toddler had drowned in the tub and he'd buried her. Guay was charged with kidnapping, but he denied his original story and a judge ruled there wasn't enough evidence to go on with the case; he was released and disappeared. Cyr says she's trying not to get her hopes up, but she notes that photos of the woman resemble Yohanna. DNA tests are in the works. (Two teens missing for two years were found on a Minnesota farm.)
