Michelle Choiniere, Unsolved Murder from British Columbia in 2005.

 This is Michelle Caroline Choiniere:



Michelle was 24 years old when she initially disappeared from Surrey, British Columbia in the summer of 2005. Tragically, her skeletal remains were recovered 3 years later on Vedder Mountain in the Fraser Valley in Chilliwack on December 7th, 2008. Michelle was identified through dental comparisons.

Michelle was involved in survival sex work and drugs at the time of her death. Her cause of death is unknown. A serial killer named Davey Mato Butorac is considered a suspect in her case. Butorac was convicted in 2015 of killing two drug-addicted sex workers in 2008. 

Michelle grew up with aspirations of getting into fashion. She was close with her mother, who also struggled on the streets and with chemical dependency, ultimately being pulled into that life herself. During her last known contact in 2005, she had plans to enter treatment. Police have another person of interest in Michelle's case but have not produced enough evidence to charge them. Michelle's murder remains unsolved.

If you have any information regarding the murder of Michelle Choiniere, you are encouraged to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-7810.


Tribal Information: Michelle's home community is in Rivers Inlet.

  1. Well Michelle was no 'angel' as to say to any of her family members that read this. I did a date with her as I was a 'john' and she was a hooker. She was dating and/or was in a relationship with a LOSER SCUMBAG buy the name of Iffy or something like that. She stole an expensive sentimental gold rope chain out of my home at some point during our date. I had to pay off her f'en LOSER boyfriend the following day a couple of hundred of dollars pleading if she had my gold chain I wanted it back. I'm a nice honest fellow and I didn't deserve to have happened what went down. Called 'karma' for a reason. You do bad things sooner orlater it is going to catch up to you. Not at all surprised to have found out some time later that she was murdered. No one deserves to have had their life taken from them but one reaps what they sow!

    1. Oh yeah you're just a nice guy who did nothing wrong except buy people for sex. Sounds like you reaped what you sowed and expect us to feel sorry for you when you mock someone for getting murdered. Hope you've stopped exploiting people from our community!

    1. What in the world does this even mean? Tiger Woods didn't buy people, idiot, he had consensual sex with people outside of his marriage. You're so brave you keep coming back here to talk shit to the grieving relatives of someone "anonymously" and try to somehow drag other people into this. You made your decisions to come here, to type this garbage on my page, and you got rightfully dressed down for it. I'm guessing you haven't much experience in receiving consequences for the shitty things you do and that's why you keep coming back here to cry. Get a job.

    2. I have a job and a good one too @Mak. Perhaps a lot of you natives can go get one yourselves and start working and paying taxes like the rest of us! Quit blaming the great white boogeyman for all your problems and thanks for that new paid stat holiday(I work full time) for the myth of the residential kids all being murdered buy the Catholic church priests and nuns being tossed into blast furnace incinerators in front of other native kids. They all died of tuberculosis and other diseases and weren't 'murdered'. Go burn down some more catholic churches while your at it! Your all out to screw taxpayers for your paid free lifestyle.

    3. Hey dumbass, I have two jobs and have lived off-rez my whole life. I pay taxes as do all indigenous people who work. We use our funds from casinos to fund our own schools, clinics, roads, elder housing, and so on. This has nothing to do with history. YOU are a piece of shit. YOU bought people for sex. YOU keep coming back here year after year to comment stupid, ignorant shit because it hurts YOU so much to realize what everyone really thinks of YOU. This is the last comment I will authorize from you. Go get help instead of exploiting people sexually, whether they are indigenous or not.
