An error by the SQ plunges woman back into the murder of her sister 47 years ago
This is the kind of error I’m always afraid I am going to make. It was my worst fear in those early days with Camirand and Dube. And now it is the SQ that makes this kind of blunder. Unbelievable.
For your information, it took me exactly 45 seconds to do a search on BAnQ’s archives to confirm that Lucie Beaudoin was killed by Henri Vincent. And the Surete du Quebec – with all their resources, with 30 cold-case agents at their disposal – can’t come to the same conclusion over three months?
Unexceptable:
Here’s a rough translation:
“A blunder from the Sûreté du Québec threw a woman back almost 50 years while her sister was the victim of a villainous murder.
In 1971, Lucie Beaudoin, 19, was murdered. Her body was found in a trunk at the bottom of a flooded quarry in Brossard, Montérégie.
A few months later, Henri Vincent, pleads guilty to manslaughter in connection with the death of the 19-year-old woman. He was sentenced to 9 years in prison.47 years later, the victim’s sister, Louise Beaudoin, was forced to plunge back into this drama.Last March, she was contacted by an investigator from the Sûreté du Québec to announce that the murder of her sister was treated as an unresolved case.“Since that time, every second, every gesture, every minute, it comes back to me,” says the lady met by TVA News.“I’ve been crying a lot every day since March 23,” she says.Police even made her sign a form to allow them to place the photo of her sister and a summary of the case on the unsolved crimes section of the SQ website.Although she said that she had informed the police that a suspect had been convicted in this case, they appeared to not know of it.Louise Beaudoin says she “doubted her memories” even though she attended court proceedings in 1971.The Surete du Quebec admitted their mistake, and on May 30, they removed the notice concerning Lucie Beaudoin from her site.The police said that in the future, things will be different. It seems that before meeting Lucie Beaudoin’s sister, the police only did summary checks.
Nevertheless, until today, no one has apologized for this blunder. Ms. Beaudoin says she is “shocked”, she who is plunged back into painful memories for four months.”
Oh come on now John Allore… Since when did you begin to believe that the ‘SQ’ had learned how to be competent efficient crime solving Cops ? They are the Masters of their own House… there`s no one down there to teach them how to do their jobs better.
Maybe they learned how to be so competent from the Longueuil Police, or the Laval Police, or the Montreal Police or the Sherbrooke / Lennoxville Police….Eh?
And you note that the SQ Cold Case ‘Squad’ now has ”30” Agents, Eh!
No doubt just 30 FAT ASS, STUPID GOOD FOR NOTHING ELSE COPS sitting around on their fat asses padding out their Police Pensions…. Sucking on the Public Tit to the last drop!
