Just learned of this case too, shocked and horrified.
If Perp planned to dispose of body so far away from her home, why oh why would they also dismember her, omg!

geezuz - who does that? we have a serious psycho on our hands

Unfortunately, we have more than our fair share (IMO) of seriously deranged killers in Quebec .

I won't link because some are truly gruesome & it's supper time ...

Similar details in this news article, poor Samantha - I hope she gets justice swiftly!

 

[gia2]

How absolutely heartbreaking. Just 10 weeks with her precious baby before being taken so violently. I feel sick reading it.

RIP dear Samantha.

He lives near or knows of the disposal location through former job or relatives.

Driving all around and dumping body parts. ...

Has all of her been recovered? [emoji20]

Still so weird that she was in Lasalle near the McDonalds on Newman and then her cell phone pings 4 hours later at 5 am in the same area. WTH?

Samantha Higgins's parents talk about their daughter

An extended (8 minute) interview from today.

How far from border crossing was she found?

This screams trucker to me .

JMO

Gosh, you'd think that a trucker would just leave her in the ditch and drive away, and not take the time to perform such atrocities. But, who knows? I just hope that the psycho is found quickly.

Do we have enough information to make a map of her route from her friend's house to her home? With a tiny baby at home, she likely hoofed it back for feeding time.

What a heartbreaking, senseless crime.

How was her body identified so quickly? from just the torso? Did she have identifying tattoos?

Tattoos and jewellery per dad in CTV interview (link above).

 

[matou]

I think the perp may have driven through the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory to get to the dump site via Hwy 138. JMO

 

[matou]

Dad thinks more than one person grabbed her and drove her 1.5 hours away to where she was found.

He threw the phone in a ditch? It went out of battery at 5 am?

 

[matou]

Someone texted the friend about an hour or more after she left around 1:15 am so her phone was with someone else at around 2 ish. Where was the phone during that text? Phone is at the vicinity of the McD's at 5 am. Did someone stay at the McD's with her phone to text back while she was being killed and likely gang raped (sorry) by others?

Exactly what I'm thinking

Not young women specifically. But dismemberment -yeah . I'm on phone ATM and it's not being too helpful about links (most MSM sources I can think of off the top of my head are in French); I'll come back & link later if I can.
*warning* nasty stuff follows:









I'm thinking of 2 cases of body parts found in Lanaudière in recent years, & Vincent D. who allegedly kept a victim's head back in the 90s. Then of course there's Magnotta .

Also, some think we have a long-term serial killer on the loose, but mainly targeting children .
Again & NB, I'm NOT saying any of these cases are related.

I scanned these 4 pages of threads tagged that and didn't see any from the Montreal area. Saw a couple Toronto and one BC, though and there's probably more on the forum.

Jessica Neilson's case is still unsolved she also was a young mother from Lasalle who was abducted and murdered a few years back. It took four months for her body to be found. I wonder if they had friends in common?. It's just weird to have two young Anglo women murdered from the same area. Anglos being the minority here tend to move in the same circles and murder is pretty rare in Montreal.

 

[GinaSeikwa]

Here is Jessica's case. There is an age difference so I don't think they were friends but the similarities otherwise are pretty interesting. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/neilson-family-marks-1-year-since-disappearance-1.804766
