Two weeks ago, Montreal police arrested 69-year-old Serge Audette in connection with her disappearance -- a case that had remained unsolved for nearly three decades.
For almost all that time, her daughter Sabrina Ferguson said she has been looking for answers about what happened to her mother. She told CTV she now believes she has them.
"I’m feeling relieved that someone can be arrested for what’s been done to my mom," she said.
Patricia Ferguson was last seen in Pointe-aux-Trembles in June 1996. She and her baby were sleeping over at a friend's place but in the middle of the night, she went to meet someone and was never heard from again.
Sabrina said she grew up thinking her mom had abandoned her.
"It’s hard to contract self-esteem because you’re (thinking) 'if my mom didn’t like me, who else can like me?'"
