Summary:
"On February 9, 2008, the body of a twelve-year-old girl was discovered under the snow on a bank of the LaHave River near the rural Nova Scotia town of Bridgewater. She had been brutally murdered. The body was identified as
Karissa
Boudreau
, who had been missing for two weeks and was the subject of an intense missing person
investigation
by the Bridgewater Police Service. Her
murder
rocked the community, the province and the nation. The
RCMP
began a homicide
investigation
, as Karissa’s body was found in their jurisdiction. Over the following five months, the
RCMP
carried out an extensive and costly
investigation
, which included the “Mr. Big” operation. As liaison between the
RCMP
investigative team and the undercover team, Sgt. John Elliott worked closely and travelled with the undercover team during their four-month operation. Supported by police file notes and court documents, his riveting first-hand account of this carefully constructed procedure meticulously takes the reader through the missing person
investigation
, the homicide
investigation
, and the undercover operation. On June 13, 2008, the
RCMP
made an arrest and the following day they charged Penny
Boudreau
with the first-degree
murder
of her daughter
Karissa
. Why did she do it? Penny’s obsessive love for her boyfriend Vernon and her fear of losing him drove her to plan the cold-blooded
murder
of her only child. This is the shocking story of a child who simply became an inconvenience. Elliott’s gripping description of Penny’s heartless
murder
confession to “Mr. Big” reveals how ruthless she was and how she was brought to justice. It was an exceptionally disturbing
murder
, unprecedented in Nova Scotia and uncommon throughout the world.
Karissa
was betrayed and murdered by her
mother
, whom she loved dearly and who was supposed to protect her and love her unconditionally. Many of the police investigators, including Sgt. Elliott, were profoundly affected by what they saw and heard during the
investigation
. And the devastating ripple effect of Penny’s heinous crime spread from Karissa’s family and friends to the community and beyond. A shocking but compelling story, A Mother’s
Betrayal
takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster from start to finish."--Publisher.
