Crime Beat: Benevolence Betrayed | S5 E26

Audrey Trudeau moved to Calgary in the late 90’s in search of a fresh start following a divorce. The physiotherapist quickly gained the respect and admiration of her colleagues at the Rocky View Hospital.
She had a kind and generous spirit that warmed the hearts of those who knew her. Then, on the eve of an exciting new opportunity, she suddenly vanished. Her disappearance puzzled her loved ones.
Join Senior Crime reporter Nancy Hixt as she shares details of the desperate search, and devastating discovery that followed five months later in Benevolence Betrayed.

No one else and this poor woman was not important. Besides remember this murderer will be out and about in no time. She is a good good person just made maybe a tiny teeny mistake. Audrey isn’t important at all in the cops opinion ……. We all can care but we r the public.

    It takes a very special type of evil to not only kill but also dismember a person, to state the obvious. Then there's also the fact that the jury members and other folks in court have to see those pictures of gruesome dismemberment that will stay with them forever. That's got to do horrible things to one's mind forever.... Should *never* be free.

She should never have been put in a healing lodge, there are too many opportunities for the murderers than there is for the victims and their families. Oh I should know because my son, Craig, was murdered in Calgary in 2013 and the prosecutors botched the trial that it was a miscarriage of justice. RIP Audrey ❤

    Yes, for some reason, that made this awful story even more disturbing to me. They didn't even have time to start bickering about typical roommate stuff in that short time. What harm can possibly come from offering a colleague in need a place to stay for a very brief period? We think we know our coworkers at least to some degree, but we only know what they want us to know. It's so sad and infuriating when people's kindness is met with the worst kind of evil. And even when faced with overwhelming, irrefutable evidence, Point couldn't admit guilt or show remorse for what she did. That makes her a danger to society even now.

And this girl ain’t phoning family back I’m gonna assume she had a crush on her and she rejected her advances or because she needed somewhere to stay still but Audrey told her to get out because she was moving.

    A few thoughts from a Canadian living in another country…. I really like this program as I have heard of very few of them being out the country and they are all very interesting. The Canadian accent is really awful. 😖 I really never noticed how bad it sounds until I was away from it. Canadian sentences are hideously short and unjust. I often notice the interviewees on these shows seem to stumble their words and generally have poor grammar. Even the “professional” people interviewed do this. (Prosecutors, RCMP officers etc) Too many of these cases are featured from Alberta. Canada is vast, let’s have some variety Crime Beat. I’d personally like to see Alexandria Flannagan’s case. I went to high school with her murderer. He was one creepy bastard. The narrator talks weirdly slow. That’s all. Have a great day! 😅
