Homicide of Kelly Morrisseau: Hoping to Renew its Investigation, SPVG Announces a Record Reward in Gatineau
Gatineau, December 9, 2021. – Thanks to a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous, the Service de police de la Ville de Gatineau (SPVG) is announcing a new $50,000 reward from the Jeunesse au soleil organization to move the investigation forward into the murder of Kelly Morrisseau 15 years ago. Thus, SPVG is once again appealing to the population's memories, hoping to convince one or more people, who may have crucial information, to share any new information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect in this horrible murder. Recap of the facts | ● | Kelly Morrisseau was last seen alive on December 10, 2006, around 4 a.m. on Montfort Street in the Vanier sector of Ottawa. At that time, she was 27 years old, the mother of three and pregnant. |
| ● | She was with a man, and was seen getting into his car, possibly a 1985 to 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera or Calais. |
| ● | That man remains the main suspect in Ms. Morrisseau's murder. A composite sketch was released a few months after the crime, based on information received from the public and through investigations. As the murder was committed 15 years ago, the suspect's appearance may have changed over the years. |
| ● | The suspect vehicle and the individual in the composite sketch may have been spotted in the Vanier sector in the days leading up to the murder. |
| ● | According to evidence gathered during the investigation, the victim and the suspect probably met up to exchange sexual favours. The suspect may have solicited other women for such favours before or after the murder. |
| ● | Between 4 and 5:40 a.m. on December 10, 2006, the suspect vehicle used the lane reserved for emergency vehicles between Promenade de la Gatineau and boulevard Saint-Raymond. That reserved lane no longer exists, and is now a bike lane or path. |
| ● | Kelly Morrisseau was found dying by a pedestrian on December 10, 2006 around 5:40 a.m. in the P3 parking lot of Gatineau Park (near Gamelin Street). She died shortly thereafter from a massive hemorrhage due to multiple wounds inflicted by a cutting weapon. |
| ● | The autopsy revealed that Ms. Morrisseau fought back forcefully. In fact, the murderer may have been wounded by the cutting weapon at the time of the crime. |
| ● | Items belonging to Kelly Morrisseau and evidence were found in ruisseau des Frênes (near boulevard du Plateau) and behind the business at 115 boulevard du Plateau in Gatineau. Thus, the suspect drove around in that sector, and likely stepped out of his vehicle more than once in the early hours of December 10. |
| ● | Any resident who may recall having seen the suspect vehicle or any other vehicle not identified as an emergency services vehicle that morning should contact police. |
| ● | Also, anyone who may have heard anything from someone or with even the smallest bit of information about this homicide is invited to contact SPVG with full confidentiality. |
Reactivation of the reward | ● | Jeunesse au soleil is offering up to $50,000 as a reward to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for this murder. |
| ● | It is important to remember that any piece of information, no matter how inconsequential it may appear, could help the investigation and set it in a new direction. Thus, residents are invited to call upon their memory. |
| ● | Anyone with information about this crime can share that information in complete confidentiality by calling 819-243-4636, option 1, or by filling out the form on the SPVG website at www.gatineau.ca/portail/default.…. |
