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.

It’s a sad reflection on our legal systems when it facilitates such evil. So sorry for Audrey and her loved ones. 😔
I am so tired of hearing that these parasites get granted parole, Canada's Justice System is Horrendous. If this happened in the States she would be in prison for the rest of her life.I live in Edmonton and it is disturbing to hear that she is living in this City. May Audrey rest easy..

Why would they bother eh ? Donuts r waiting to be eaten. Nothing else it’s important except if it’s about their family members. The only people who they care about safety is for themselves. 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.

Audrey was Debs landlady and she a lodger. That’s how we would describe it here in the UK. A roommate is someone sharing the same room. Deborah Point came across as a cold fish, self centred and greedy and became a life taker. Poor Audrey was kind enough to take her in. RIP Audrey 😢❤
Everybody should know what she done and I hope the family keep her photograph publicised
Is there anyone in Canada that is actually serving a “life” sentence? I’ve seen some horrendous crimes committed including this one and they all eventually get out within 20 - 25 years. I don’t get it.

Paul Bernardo because he was declared a Dangerous Offender. Other than him, practically no one. I wish we had sentences like the U.S. has. So many of these cases make me so angry.
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.

How is she allowed to not only get out to a half way house in 22 years. Go to an aboriginal one when she’s not aboriginal and date another convicted felon on parole that should be a violation of parole. So she technically spent 25 years total between jail in the half way house Canada pisses me off

Love this series thanks NANCY!!
This is not justice. I am so sorry for the family.'Chris' should not be out of prison
I have just got into the story and it was obviously Deb. Her story is full of what sound like obvious lies: leaving the ring and her car, throwing out the rug.What a despicable person. She should have been put away for life. Your sentences are ridiculous.
How the hell is the convict able to go to work after what she did to her roommate…that’s really messed up.
Wait, hold the f up? She is able to get work? Are you kidding me? It’s like she did nothing wrong.
When a criminal is convicted of murder, it should be mandatory to serve the entire sentence. No early parole, no healing lodge etc… The justice system is so messed up.😡 Releasing convicted murderers before their sentence is up is allowing them to commit those same acts AGAIN 😢 Vicious cycle 😢
To Good...being to good is deadly. Let people fend for themselves....be careful who you let into your home...getting in is easy but getting them out is not.

Don't let anyone into your home, period. She was just a good soul, trusted her co-worker. And her co-worker betrayed her in the worst way. Deb or Chris or whatever the hell her/his name is should never have been let out of jail!
First off, condolences to Audrey’s family, friends and co-workers…..As for the police they did their job as far as this so called law of Canada has instructed but it’s the Judges and the Parole boards who are the ones to blame for the low sentence and for the murderer getting out on Parole. 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 ❤
Hearts breaks for the family , and yes it will take her to grave. Very scary for us out here for have roommates

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.
I can tell a quarter in that it’s her room mate she was helping her out. Making some bogus story like she drove hours to say goodbye to the mountains when she had an emerg in Ontario. 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.
Someone needs to warn the queer scene in Edmonton about "Chris". Admitting your crime and making reparations (to the Indigenous family & community you USED to get outta jail) should be mandatory before you're released...especially given the heinousness of the gruesome crime.
I would like to know why Deborah was not charged with first degree, it seems like she put a lot of effort into killing Audrey and ensuring she was not found, plus dismembering the body, how horrible
How is it circumstantial when she physically moved boxes containing body parts. She should not have been released because she continues to deny the crime therefore could easily be said to be likely or capable of repeating such a crime.
I hope that someone gets the chance to see Deb in face to face one day. Condolences to Audrey’s family.
I hate to sound so cliche, but the phrase, 'no good deed goes unpunished' has never been truer than it was in this story. You can just never know, what you don't know about someone. a My condolences to everyone who loved Audrey.
Joke of a justice. She should have never been let out.
I am so very sorry for the lovely sisters loss of their dear sister.They are an amazing family. What a vile person that Deb/Chris was
Rip , prayers for the family and friends of this angel! She will be forever loved and missed by everyone who knew her! I live in Edmonton now and will be watching for this heshe. I pray I never lay eyes on heshe.
HANDSOME WOMAN…….NOT ! I will never EVER understand how people can do the atrocious heinous things that they do to other human beings. It is beyond comprehension. I’ve never come close to entertaining such a thing yet I beat myself up about my silly mistakes & here you have this in a mugshot with a slight smile on it’s face……..to be able to live with oneself after this ….you be truly sadistic !!

I really like this episode
And what’s freaky when they showed these town houses I released I visited my ex bf family in those I knew it was Calgary right away from seeing those lots of family there. I’m from Winnipeg. Ya I’m sure she asked her to cash her cheque for her n keep her family ring bs
She never showed remorse or accepted her guilt after brutally attacking Audrey from behind like a coward and now is free to live her life among people????????? This is so ver wrong. The law , as they say, is an ass
The Canadian justice system needs a maple leafs overhaul.
Its scary to think that this person is a neighborhood to somebody. Thanks to the show that this is public information now.
How does she get to hook up with another parolee ?? She should never been let out.

Audrey ❤ 🙏
And ya she went to the mountains without her car. Here room mate take my cheque car and expensive ring and tear the carpet n bedding out.
Everything about this case is crazy, went missing on 25th of Feb, 11th march,family call police, why wait so long especially when contact was made every day,last day party missed,no more contact ,miz Point talking noncence, car,ring, left behind check to be collected by,miz point,who keeps calling herself a room mate, it's Audrey's house, she's there temporarily,supposedly share bill's, little bit of rent, after being kicked out of last place, nobody seems to have asked why. 2nd degree murder???? 21 yrs full time jail, another 4 yrs day release, get a job, has relationship with fellow parloe femail, another thing why was she living in the house after audrey went missing 😳, why wasn't she arrested after, carpet,and blood found. BEST OF ALL,the so called strong circumstantial evidenced, box's found in in miz point's friends garage, that point left there, with her other "name" chris on them ,U couldn't make this up, taking no responsibility, still left go free, this highly dangerous fiend😮
I recall chelsea poorman case. Again police didnt go find missing adults. Just because they adults
😢❤R.I.P AUDREY
Anytime someone ends astatement with "right" or "okay" they are lying
So someone commits a First degree murder in Canada that suspect gets an automatic 25 years. By changing a killing to another name or title that being a Second degree killing that same suspect can expect a 20 year sentence do 17 years then assume to a certainty of being granted partial to full complete parole while NEVER accepting Responsibility for murdering / killing a co-worker? Are these killing circumstances an Only in Canada issue? While the now convicted murderer today lives & is working 2.5 hours North of this specefic killing location?
Why does Canada have such a poor justice system? Here in the UK it is not always great, but we pale in comparison to he justice handed out (or not handed out) in Canada. Ireland is on a par with Canada.

Poor justice system for Some. Harsh for others.
No good deeds go unpublished.
Canadian police investigation strategy is to sit and wait for a Confession.......
Lucky her getting free bed and board 🤣🤣 That’s what she wanted 🤣🤔
All because the lady was moving to be closer to family but no the roommate wanted to stay in the house otherwise she was homeless so she killed Audrey so she could stay in the house
She never admitted her crime i.e. no remorse.
Unless I’m missing something here it seems like very passive and lacklustre detective work
Didnt know justice system in Canada is like this. Yikes. Not a country you'd wanna visit or live in

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! 😅
