Ariel Jeffrey Kouakou never returned home after setting out on foot to visit a friend on March 12, 2018. ( Paul Chiasson / THE CANADIAN PRESS )Frederic Kouakou used the one-year anniversary of Ariel’s disappearance to air some of his frustrations about the police investigation, which he called inadequate. Janie Halle-Bolduc, who attended the service with her 10-year-old daughter, Jiane, said she was immensely sad for Ariel’s family. One witness described as credible by police said she saw Ariel near the water before he went missing. Pina Arcamone, director general of the Missing Children’s Network, said the aim is to shed light on the case and offer comfort to Ariel’s family.
