A COLD CASE : STEPHANE PARENT SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON FOR MURDERING GIRLFRIEND 20 YEARS AGO

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada:

A Calgary judge has sentenced a man who killed his girlfriend almost 20 years ago to life in prison.

Adrienne McColl was beaten and fatally strangled on Valentine's Day 2002, her body left in a ditch alongside a rural road near Nanton, Alta.

The case went cold, but detectives revived the investigation. In 2018, Stéphane Parent was arrested in Quebec and charged with second-degree murder. 


After murdering her, Parent drove to the airport, booked a one-way ticket to Ottawa and did not return until his arrest.

Parent had recently become homeless and was living in his car.
