Crime Beat

In 2006, 17-year-old Brigitte Serre was working her first overnight shift at a Montreal gas station when three men attempted an armed heist. Brigitte was murdered in the robbery gone wrong, stabbed 72 times. The killer was eventually caught in a cross-country manhunt and sentenced to 25 years without parole for the brutal slaying. But for the Serre family, the painful reminders of their tragic loss would surface time and time again as the convicted murderer applied for early release.
