Man finds mother’s murder file at library
The Journal broke a story this week about a man who discovered that the entire dossier on his mother’s unsolved 1981 murder in Longueuil was openly available at the BAnQ archives, even though police had always told him it was confidential and he couldn’t see it. The story (recapitulated here in English by the Gazette without so much as a nod to the Journal) has forced the BAnQ to analyze its holdings to make sure other sensitive documents concerning unresolved crimes are not openly available.
