Canada - Julie Croteau, 32, St Liboire QC, 25 Oct 2005

Victim's remains found in trunk of her car
Nursing assistant found near her clinic believed to have suffered very violent death

October 28, 2005

Are they a coincidence or are they messages from a cold-blooded killer?

The Surete du Quebec is investigating the death of a woman whose body was found yesterday in the trunk of a car parked behind a shopping centre in St. Hyacinthe, about 70 kilometres east of Montreal.

The woman, believed to be Julie Croteau, 32, appeared to have suffered a very violent death. But the chilling element of the investigation came in the form of two messages spray-painted on the walls next to and in front of Croteau's Honda Civic.

"I kill 4 fun" was one of the messages written in blood-red paint. The car was parked with its nose facing the message.

"Life is 4 the strongest" was the other message, spray-painted on a wall to the right of the driver's side of the vehicle.

The red paint stood out from the more common graffiti painted in black on the walls.

SQ spokesperson Constable Chantal Mackels said chips from the paint on the wall will be analyzed.

It's hoped the analysis will determine whether the messages in red paint were there before the Civic was parked behind a Dollarama store in the shopping centre on Casavant St.

Investigators will also try to determine whether one of the video surveillance cameras in the area captured images of the person who abandoned the car in the parking lot.

Claudette Carbonneau, manager of the Dollarama, said the black graffiti had been around for a long time, "but I never noticed any red graffiti until now. It must be recent."

Croteau was reported missing Tuesday.

She was last seen leaving her home in St. Liboire, 15 kilometres east of St. Hyacinthe, in her Honda about 6:30 a.m. that day. She was supposed to pick up a friend so they could ride together to their work in nearby Ste. Madeleine.

Croteau never showed up.

"I kill 4 fun" was one of the messages. "Life is 4 the strongest" was the other.

Wow! This is scary.

IMO, the people in that town should be afraid...... Very, very afraid!

Yes, that is very creepy

I'm sure many will disagree, but i think television culture is partly to blame.

the criminal who did this is not only glorying in people's reactions, s/he probably has been on a diet of violent television programmes, or violent films all his/her life.

:banghead:

I wonder if this could be connected to the Audrey May Herron case?

How absolutely horrific.

Prayers for Julie and her family.

So very sad. I tried to google her name and couldn't find any information on this case or even when she was missing. Is there any information out there?

So this appears to be totally random? How incredibly horrible and sad. God Bless Julie's soul :angel: and prayers for her family.

So many sick people in this world. It's scary.

Quebec police say ugly graffiti found near a car containing a woman's body is not connected with her death.



A letter taped to a wall with the graffiti shows that the spray-painted words "I KILL 4 FUN!!" are not connected to the woman, police said Friday.

I hope that turns out to be true -that is is not connected- because most of the internet entries I found would certainly seem to be more horror style/blood-N-gore type stuff including one made by a medical lab assistant (although post on page claims him to be in other country at time of post.)

Now how do they know it's not related? Sounds like an odd thing to say.

This is going to sound sooo weird but one of my favorite movies is "A League of Their Own" with Tom Hanks. I remember reading an article in a magazine about a girl named Julie Croteau who was an extra in that movie, one of the baseball players on another team. She is listed on IMDB, too, but no other info about her. I think she was from Canada, too, or at least up north near the Canadian border. I hope this wasn't the same Julie Croteau. This girl was 32 and the Julie in the movie would be about the same age, having been about 20 or so when she was in the film.

The two had been a couple since high school in St. Liboire, a close-knit town of 2,800 people about 85 kilometres east of Montreal.

Dion, 37, is standing trial for first-degree murder in the death of Croteau, 32. She was found in the trunk of her grey Honda Civic on Oct. 27, 2005.

So has he already been found guilty? Or is he accused?
