Back to EpisodesMan Sentenced for 2007 Murder of Métis Woman
Description
Kevin Queau, a 44-year-old man from Vancouver, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for killing Crystal Saunders, a 24-year-old Métis woman, in Manitoba nearly two decades ago. Queau pleaded guilty to manslaughter after new DNA technology linked him to evidence found on Saunders body. The case was initially stalled due to insufficient DNA evidence, but advances in technology and a Mr. Big operation led to Queaus confession. Despite the conviction, Saunders family expressed dissatisfaction with the manslaughter charge and the credibility issues surrounding the lead undercover officer. The case highlights the slow pace of justice and the impact of technological advancements in solving cold cases.
