Kathleen Toman, a resident of Balsam Lake, Ontario, has been making regular trips to Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, almost monthly for nearly a year. This weekend, she is once again traveling the 500-kilometer distance to meet her ex-husband, Chris Toman, in hopes of finding any leads regarding their missing son, Liam.
The search for Liam, who vanished from the Mont-Tremblant ski resort on February 2, 2025, has yielded no concrete answers so far. Liam, along with his friends Kyle Warnock and Colin Lemmings, embarked on a ski weekend getaway from Whitby, Ontario, on January 31, 2025. Their arrival at Mont-Tremblant was met with awe, as Lemmings described the striking sights of the mountain resort.
The trio checked into Tour des Voyageurs II hotel and enjoyed a day of skiing, followed by dinner and drinks at a local bar named Lucille’s. As the night progressed and temperatures dropped to -25°C, the group separated, with Warnock and Liam heading to Le P’tit Caribou. However, after a text and unsuccessful attempts to reach Liam, concern grew when he did not return to the hotel that night.
Warnock’s persistent calls and subsequent alarm raised with Liam’s family and authorities marked the beginning of a desperate search effort. Despite extensive search operations by the Quebec provincial police, Liam’s whereabouts remain a mystery. The community rallied to support the investigation, with efforts from residents and businesses like Mont-Tremblant Cruises owner Yves Delvallet.
Months later, Liam’s wallet was discovered, prompting renewed search efforts, but no significant breakthroughs followed. Kathleen Toman tirelessly continues her quest for answers, leading her to become an inadvertent investigator in her son’s disappearance. Collaborating with various parties, including media outlets and investigative programs like Radio-Canada’s Enquête, the Toman family’s determination to find Liam remains unyielding.
Surveillance footage and investigative reports have shed some light on Liam’s movements post his disappearance, but tangible leads are still elusive. As the one-year anniversary approaches, the Toman family, with the resort’s cooperation, is intensifying awareness efforts in Mont-Tremblant. Despite the emotional toll, Kathleen remains resolute in her pursuit for closure, emphasizing the need for public assistance in solving the perplexing case of Liam Toman’s disappearance.
