Some updates on some cases: David Cross, Helene Hurtubise, Margaret Coleman. The slog of dealing with police investigative forces.

I don’t want to write a piece of advocacy, or some bullshit fantasy of triumph over adversity, or something where the endgame is some shitty television program. I just want to tell a really good story.

"Far from ever being punished for their investigative failures, these officers were rewarded for their years of mediocre service. In 1984, Roch Gaudreault received the Police Exemplary Service Medal from the Governor General of Canada. Real Chateauneuf received the honor in 1986; Patrick Hall and Jacques Filion -from the Carole Fecteau case, by the way, this is the 44 anniversary of her unsolved murder - in 1985; and Noel Bolduc, who was the lead on the Grimard and Bergeron, investigation in 1988."For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

The murder of Rolland Giguere must be the worst kept secret in Sherbrooke. Practically the whole town - including the police - probably knows who shot Giguere on the evening of October 31, 1969, but no one has the moral courage to stand up and do anything about it.For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

"When he was about nineteen - which places the event in 1978 - Gerald was out driving with his older and a third person, Regis and another. Gerald was sitting in the back, Regis was in the passenger seat, and the third person was driving the car. It was in the evening, and they picked up a hitchhiker in Lennoxville. Gerald thought he and the girl were about the same age, so also nineteen. The girl got in the car and sat in the back with Gerald. Gerald began kissing her. From the passenger seat, Regis reached back and began stroking her thighs. I'm guessing it was a lot more than kissing and fondling, but you get the picture.Regis asks the driver to stop the car. He then dragged the girl with him. Some time passed, Gerald got out of the car to see what's going on. He says he was going to help the girl. Gerald went down in a field and found Regis holding the girl's head down in water. Gerald mimes the gesture of Regis holding her down in the water by the back of her neck. Regis yelled at Gerald to get back in t

"Corporal Patrick Hall of the Sûreté du Québec’s drug, alcohol and morality squad headed up the raid on Chez Robert’s. Recall that it was Hall’s phone number that was found in Grimard’s pocket at the dump site on Astbury Road. In testimony at Coroner Jean-Pierre Rivard’s inquiry from September 1978, Hall said he had known Raymond Grimard for five years and that during their frequent meetings, because of the numerous information the double murder victim had accumulated during his criminal career, he would occasionally give news of the goings-on in the underworld: “He said that he was doing well but that what he was doing was okay, that he had wanted to hang up the gloves.”"For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

"Michel Belley was acquitted twice for the murder of Monique Marchand. The first occasion due to the "uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice." In court it was revealed that Corporal Roch Gaudreault fabricated evidence in order to incriminate Belley."For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

For the Townships, Jean Charland had become the gift that kept on giving:For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

I desperately wanted the informant to be Luc Gregoire, the Sherbrooke sexual predator I was convinced had not only murdered my sister, Theresa, but may have been responsible for the murder of Louse Camirand and the death of Manon Dubé, so I emailed Jean-Pierre and asked him to respond with the name. This was all very dramatic, and he gave me the impression he was minutes away from retrieving it. Not able to wait, I blurted out, "Gregoire" in an email message. Rancourt responded, "Non, I will find it... His name is Regis Lachance"For more information please visit the website: theresaallore.com

This is what Charland told the court happened to Raymond Grimard and Manon Bergeron the night they were murdered on or about July 6, 1978 south of Lennoxville:For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

On November 10, 1978 someone attempted to set fire to the Aloha Motel in Rock Forest. You’ll recall Rock Forest as a bedroom community to the west of Sherbrooke (five years later it would become the setting of another motel drama: the massacre of two carpet layers by police at the Motel Chatillion). Tragedy was averted, the Sûreté du Quebec just happened to be across the street before the blaze was ignited. Police immediately arrested a nineteen-year-old suspect leaving the scene of the attempted arson: Jean Charland. Welcome to the world of Sherbrooke subterfuge (AKA S-Town), where even the police play a part in the underhanded shenanigans.For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com

"Have you ever played Clue? This is a detective game that asks participants to discover the murderer, the location, and the murder weapon. The results can be:“Miss White did it in the library with the candlestick!” or “I accuse Colonel Mustard of the murder; he did it in the kitchen with a knife!” or “I suspect Miss Scarlett, in the lobby, with the revolver!” and so on.In the coroner’s inquest into the murder of Carole Fecteau and those of Raymond Grimard and Manon Bergeron, one sometimes has the impression of being at the heart of an enigma where the avenues seem endless because of the many twists and turns."“Les trois meurtres: avenues sans fin”, La Tribune, 16 Septembre, 1978For more information please visit the website: www.theresaallore.com
